It is difficult to fit in five decades of laurels in 150minutes. No wonder sambahdur seems to be in a rush to the finish.
If not for vicky kaushal's finesse in acting the movie would have been average. He not only captures the nuances that sam manekshaw is known for but plays him to perfection.
The first half is fast paced and keeps you glued to your seat. Intermission comes in a jiffy. Meghna gulzar!s direction concentrates on sam, is for sam and only for sam. Rest of the characters have little to do.
The film belongs to vicky kaushal. It's sam and not him on the screen. He is a marvel in every frame, acting with eyes and expressions.
The only other character that shines is fatima sana shaik's take on indra gandhi. Frames that feature both vicky and her are the backbone of the film.
Zeeshan too is good, as is neeraj kabi as nehru but their screen time is minimal. Sanya malhotra has nothing much to do.
The war scenes are aptly conducted. The writing could have been better.
Sambahdur is a movie, the icon in some of the most important wars in india's history, deserves.
Go for it.
