Awestruck after watching Akshay s performance of the true Sikh patriot. His facial expressions when his British superior calls Indians as cowards and slaves is remarkable. His compassionate side is revealed when he reaches out to a young woman from being punished by an Afghan mullah and his followers. The battle scene of 21 sikh soldiers against 10k pathans is authentic and thrilling. The film reminds us of the Gladiator movie where bravery supercedes might of an army My rating is 3.5 stars
