Watched Sam Bahadur & Dunki on New Year festive mood.
Review of
Sam Bahadur
First Talvar, then Raaji and now Sam Bahadur by Meghna Gulzar. She is as talented as her father.
Just see Talvar's case is still mystery. But Meghna presented honestly with logical facts findings straightforward.
2nd Film Raaji A well made Film is an adaptation of Harinder Sikka's novel Calling Sehmat, a true story of RAW agent who, upon her father's request, is married into a family of Pakistani military officers in Pakistan to gather and provide information to India, prior to the India Pakistan War of 1971.
And now Sam Bahadur a biopic of Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw who was Hero of all wars fought by independent India till 1971. Sam Bahadur Film is well researched well justified with characters except Indira Gandhi. A poor weak casting of Fatima Sana Shaikh for role of Indira Gandhi. Presentation of Indira Gandhi character is totally unjustified miscast & weak.
Rest each artist & each department has done good job.
This Film shows life and four decades journey of Army service of Sam Manekshaw, lesser known things & event about this War Hero, today's generation and we all must know about him and his actions in detail. All these are visible with Cinematic excellence by Meghna and her Team.
If we will not talk about Vicky Kaushal, it will be injustice toward Film and toward him. It is Vicky Kaushal who carried the film on his shoulder. It seems that soul of Manekshaw entered into him. He looks fierce. In such a way Vicky adopted the mannerism, body language, walking style, speaking style of Sam Manekshaw, its simply amazing and unbelievable. Just one show back I saw his performance as a Sukhhi in Donki and then as A Sam. It is simply charismatic.
One thing definitely I must say Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw was very much concern about welfare and dignity of his soldiers and never bow down before PM or ministers. He always spoken his mind boldly with full conviction gracefully. No yes sir yes sir Haan ji Haan ji. That's why he is Hero of all of us. PM Indira Gandhi fully trusted him and honored him with First Field Marshall post despite opposed by many top level peoples.
This film is a tribute to our National Hero and a must watch Film.
My rating is 5 Star out of 5.
