Sam Bahadur

This movie is truly an inspiration for this generation. The storytelling, attention to detail, wittiness and sense of humour of Sam Bahadur has been captured by Meghna Gulzar so well and adapted by Vicky Kaushal with such class, he's definitely the chosen one! What I loved the most about the movie is Sam's personality and sense of humour, there was something endearingly real about it, the man stood strong on his principles and his army. He was a true leader & most importantly, a gentleman and it doesn't surprise me that till date, the Indian army looks upto Sam Bahadur. This movie will evoke all the emotions of patriotism - I had goosebumps watching it and this is by far the best tribute given to an Indian army officer.

Real life heroes makes story everyday. That we dare capture in one movie-Connectivity Issues from scenes after scene and I blame it fully to story writer and Director. U can start the movie anywhere U want and close it where U want. This will cover one full episode. What's is fun in covering preindependce actions and I thank director not starting from Birth of Sam. Now Daughter and son-Law photo selection 10min Why.. Sam's Transfer chronicle is also have lots wasteful and confusion for audiance from main Topic. Indira role is well played and charming to make an Impact. I felt Vicky tried to pull the story more with his acting skills on wasteful script and I rate Sir Manikshah real life and Vicky acting is only positive rating here. If U want to know Sam history and tell to ur family this Braveman and true Indian. This is the Movie. If U want this as action or strategy of this hero. It's far Go ahead and watch with full family. Very less movies on real life heroes of India Not to be missed.

It was long overdue that someone told the story of India's first Field Marshal- the incredible Sam Manekshaw. Meghna Gulzar has done a fantastic job portraying the ever so dynamic & steadfast soldier who lead India's army during challenging times. Not for 1 second did this biopic stray form it's focus of telling the story of the soldier who joined the Army when india was under British Rule. I fall short of words while describing the brilliance and excellence of Vicky Kaushal's acting. He has aced the walk, the accented, the persona, the character, the emotion of the great Sam Manekshaw . Every moment on screen is as if Vicky is living and breathing the soldier he is paying for to. The screenplay is smooth and crisp. Important historic moments are shown as much as possible without blowing the context of the biopic. Fatima Sana Sheikh has done an amazing job in the little screen time she got playing as Indira Gandhi. Ever INDIAN who can, should watch this movie. Every Indian owes this much to the great 'Sam Bahadur' .

"Sam Bahadur" unfolds as a riveting tribute to India's first Field Marshal, Sam HFJ Manekshaw, MC, brilliantly showcasing the legendary Army General's remarkable journey. The plot gracefully weaves through crucial historical chapters, from World War II to the Sino-Indian War, culminating in the pivotal 1971 Indo-Pakistan conflict that led to the creation of Bangladesh. The film pays commendable attention to detail, meticulously depicting Manekshaw's illustrious career, which played a pivotal role in shaping India's borders. With a focus on authenticity, the narrative captures the essence of the no-nonsense Army Commander, affectionately known as 'Sam Bahadur' by the soldiers he led. The dynamic life of this military luminary is presented with finesse, offering audiences a compelling cinematic experience that celebrates a true hero and his indelible impact on India's history.

Summary: For me while this movie was charming, it did not hit the right notes that it could have when exploring a figure as historically important as Sam Manekshaw. The film seemed more intent on making audiences feel good about the Indian army and patriotic for the country that it did not delve too deeply into the character of Manekshaw. What were the factors that drove him? What was his decision-making process like? All of this was ignored, and all we learned about Sam Manekshaw was that he loved the army and a few of his favorite sayings. Plot: The story covers the entire military career of Sam Manekshaw, but as mentioned earlier does not delve too deeply into any aspects. It is more of a rough summary then a deep dive into the person. Acting: The casting for this film could have been a lot better. I was interested to see if Vicky Kaushal could lead a movie in a non-comedic role and the verdict is that he can't. He was not terrible but lacked any screen presence or natural charisma in the role. Sanya Malhotra, who I usually rate highly, delivers her lines with all the gusto of a block of wood. Of the leads only Fatima Sana Shaikh does justice to her character. Script: The script for want of a better word is quite lame. It's all just sayings with the express purpose of making Indian audiences feel good. The dialogue lacks any sort of real gravitas. Even the serious moments when they are going to war feels like a bit of a joke. Music: Background music was ok, but the actual numbers were quite poor and took away from the enormity of war. Conclusion: Overall, the movie is not terrible, it is pleasant enough to watch. However, it really does leave you wishing they had tackled this subject in a different way.

Amazing, excellent, brilliant, these are the only things that you will gasp after seeing Vicky Kaushal in this awesome epic. If you did not get a chance to know Sam Manekshaw, this film will do the job for you!! My Soldiers want to win, we want to WIN!! The dialogue delivery is emaculate, the conduct is worthy of being a field marshal, no words to explain the kind of work Vicky has done, this is a true blockbuster and not the one to miss, best watched in 2D and on IMAX/big screen if you can. The film is about personality so 3D is not what you want. Go for it, don't miss this performance or you will regret having not watched it on bif screen.

Sam Manekshaw deserves better. There's no doubt that Field Marshal Manekshaw made a great contribution and earns the highest respect of every Indian citizen. In this film, the director barely skims through the surface and flops in creating an engaging biopic. It's more a documentary about the Indian Army. Unfortunately there's no storytelling, just dates, incidents and facts - a series of anecdotes from SM's life, mainly disjointed. We see Vicky Kaushal playing Dev Anand (in his Hum Dono role) playing Sam Manekshaw. Calling everyone 'Sweetie' - from his men to the Prime Minister. His sincerity shines, though. (But he was better as Sardar Uddham Singh. And yet didn't get a National Award for the role.) I'll remember Fatima Sana Sheikh for her horrendous wig, playing former Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. We never see the steely version of IG. There's Sanya Malhotra, playing Sillo, SM's dutiful wife. Her role is to be jealous of Indira Gandhi and give her tough looks across a banquet hall. As is the current flavour of the season, the Gandhi family gets mocked at every possible opportunity. Jawaharlal Nehru telling he doesn't know what to do next (in the context of the Chinese betrayal), Indira Gandhi getting corrected and patronised by SM. Having said all this, it is extremely difficult to make a movie about the armed forces in India. One needs to get a clearance from the Ministry of Defence at every stage of the making. In sum, Sam Bahadur is a waste of a subject. It takes the life of one of India's most significant heroes and gives us a lukewarm film. You can wait for its OTT release where you can fast forward the portions you want to avoid. N. B. Don't get swayed by samosa critics' reviews.
