Featured review
7.5 Stars.
Although I like the movie, it could have been much better if it was series.
Sam Manekshaw's life is too long and filled with too many experiences to fit into a movie.a lot is crammed still missed a lot.
The ensemble is excellent, especially "Vicky" in the role of "Sam". Not for once, I have the impression that I was watching Vicky the entire time, Sam was the only character I was seeing.
He picked the physical traits as well as commanding yet smooth speaking style. He is a chameleon.
Supporting cast is hit and miss.
The entire set design is excellent, and the raw mood is enhanced by filming conflict scenes in actual locations.
The movie moves quickly between scenes, but Sam's flamboyant, cheeky personality is the only thing that keeps you interested.
As expected from a Meghna Gulzar film, the direction is excellent. However, the screenplay and writing don't do the other supporting characters justice because they have very little on-screen time.
In production design, research and detailing are used to create sets, costumes, and makeup that are entirely visible on screen.
Good songs and music, especially Badhte Chalo, which aptly captures the togetherness of the Indian Army despite its different regiments.
Sam and the system had a fight when he retired, and it was an important aspect of his life that I wanted to see.
Although there is more to the tale, it is still a fantastic film that should be seen.
