Mumbai [India], December 5: First things first, let’s talk about Field Marshal Mr. Sam Manekshaw before we dive into this movie review. He was a big deal in the Indian Army, and people still admire him a lot today.
This film is well-made, and you can tell they did their homework. They paid attention to details like medals and got the military stuff right. There are a few small mistakes, like showing the wrong trucks, but we can let those slide. Meghna Gulzar, Ronnie Screwwala, and Vicky Kaushal did a great job, and Vicky handled the main role well.
The reviewer has a personal connection to the story, with family members involved in the events at the Sittang bridge. But, they feel the film missed a chance to dig deeper into some historical details.
Despite some flaws, Vicky Kaushal shines in the lead role. He really brings out Manekshaw’s character. The film is good for those who want to learn about history, but it could have done more.
Vicky Kaushal does a fantastic job, and this might be one of his best performances. He nailed Manekshaw’s style and walk. The direction and script have some issues, but overall, the film is honest in showing the great personality.
Kaushal gets a thumbs up, and Sanyal Malhotra as Salloo Manekshaw is praised. However, some other characters, like Fatima Sana Sheikh’s Indira Gandhi, didn’t impress as much.
“Samबहादुर” tries to tell the story honestly, but it misses some historical points. The movie keeps you interested, but it has its suspenseful moments.
Final Thoughts:
In the end, the film gives a solid look into Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw’s life. Vicky Kaushal’s performance and the gripping story make it a good watch, especially for history buffs.
A solid movie that’s worth checking out, especially if you’re into Indian history.
