Honestly at the ticket counter I was confused between Animal and Sam Bahadur. Animal had Ranveer and that's a massive pull, however Vicky Kaushal in a patriotic movie was a true no brainer.
An oh boy did I make the right decision.
Well paced, incredible cinematography, top end sounds, superb dialogues, mega sets and the acting of Vicky Kaushal. Vicky Kaushal has made a lifetime fan today after this performance, specially after witnessing him in Uri and Udham Singh. He looks and acts like Mr Manekshaw more than Mr Manekshaw himself. The poise, the body language, dialogue delivery. Deserves a national award for this. Sana Sheikh also did great in her short stint.
Great thing about the movie was the unbiased approach towards any previous PMs. What most people know and agree on is what's shown .
Overall must watch. 11/10. Recommended for bachelors, couples and families as well. Must watch for someone coming from an Army background.
One thing which I found missing was the Soviet Battleship fleet episode which wasn't brought up anywhere
