the script and they struck to the facts which proved to be a very good move. The story did not have the bollywood unnecessary masala but the reality of the hero whom we all know today, the character build up was beautifully done. Most part of the script was in Punjabi dialect and the part of young Vikram was in pahari dialect to represent their linguistic background which have been missing from Bollywood for a really long time. The dialogues were written in a manner where a viewer would flow into it as a spectator watching two real life people converse.
Cast: First of all it was finally so good to watch Shiv Pandit, he is an incredibly talented actor and it was feast to watch him on screen. The role of Jimmy just slipped into him, each scene he was in was a thrill to watch. He carefully cathered himself in scenes where he gave equal space to his other actors.
Now I had never been a fan of Siddharth Malhotra and had my doubts before watching but he breathed the person into his charcater. It was a suprise to watch him, he was extremely good in it and after a few minutes of watching the movie I was convinced I was watching the character and not the actor. Siddharth potrayed all his scenes very well the one’s with the war backdrop were my special favorite because I truly felt the whole scene come alive around me while watching it.
Kiara Advani shines in her role, she potrays the character of his girlfriend to perfection. The scene where she have a confrontation with her father was my perfect because her body language seemed so natural and that is a proof that the young actress is extremely talented. I wish I could write pages on the cast members and their characters because none of them felt out of placed instead they fit perfectly in the big picture.
Direction: This is my favorite part to write because finally after a very long time I watched a war movie without unnecessary gruesome scene of patriotism puked over it. It was genuine and even the scenes with violence would fill you with rage over the injustice done. By the end of the movie you will connected and feel sympathetic towards the young captain. The director potrayed war better than a lot of others who have tried but the family and character scenes were also nicely done. It felt like reading a very good book after a long time.
All over the movie is a must watch because apart from the history of it, the movie is genuinely a good one if I just judge it in the scene of cinema
