Awesome movie
Very Good experience for NSG commando force.
Major review : Emotional & Gripping Action Drama.
My rating : 5/5
Performances :
Adivi Sesh, with no second thought, the role of Major Sandeep is the best ever role played and performed by Sesh. Sesh might have an advantage by looks, but the body language, the intention, the transformation and everything else is all his hard work and that truly reflected on screen. Sesh’s intensity in the training sessions at NDA and the rescue mission at Taj Hotel is the highlight in his performance.
Saiee Manjrekar as Isha fits the role well. The character Isha has innocence in her, but at the same time, she is very mad of Sandeep. Saiee emoted the same and her scenes with Sesh came out really good.
Prakash Raj who played the father of Major Sandeep did brilliantly well, as known to us all. He is a great actor always and he added one more great performance to his list of the best. Prakash Raj narrated most of the story and he emoted every single feeling through his voice. Great actors just don’t impress the audiences with their eyes and expressions, but also with their voice and the narrative of Major is one such good example.
Revathi, who played Sandeep’s mother perfectly balanced that innocence and emotions at her best.
Sobhita Dhulipala who played Pramodha Reddy, a hostage in the Taj hotel nailed all her scenes. Even though she gets a less screen time, playing the special role, she shines there throughout the scenes.
The kid who played the role of Sandeep during his childhood looks very cute and gave a brilliant performance.
Murali Sharma is good as the NSG chief. Others performed according to their roles.
Technical values :
Adivi Sesh provided the story and screenplay for the movie. As everyone knows the story is based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan but Adivi Sesh came up with the gripping screenplay. Especially, his paperwork during the crucial Taj Mahal hotel Commando operation is clearly visible on screen.
Sasi Kiran Tikka, he has done a very good job with the film. Without drifting away from the emotions, he showcases what happened in the 26/11 attacks in a detailed and perfect manner. The way he ended the film with an emotional high is the best part of his narration.
The cinematography work by Vamsi Patchipulusu is impressive as he showcased the entire film on a bright note especially he shot the action scenes in the second half with smokey frames and elevates the mood nicely. Music by Sricharan Pakala is the backbone of the film as his background score elevates the crucial episodes superbly. Two duets between the lead pair in the first half are passable on screen.
Abburi Ravi dialogues are impactful. The speech given by Prakash Raj at the end of the film is very impactful, inspiring and heart touching.
The production houses Sony Pictures, GMB Entertainment and A+S Movies need to be appreciated a lot for encouraging and backing this film and it’s team.
