Sam bahadur is a biographical drama war film directed by meghna gulzar.
The film focuses on a personality who is the owner of unending charm and a highly happening life. The film tries to cover it all, but the events don't have a lot of breathing space, so it feels the screenplay is weak. The film benefits highly from a scintillating performance by vicky kaushal and other actors including sanya malhotra, neeraj kabi etc. Vicky especially is a force to reckon with, he makes same manekshaw believable without making it gimmicky. The music is good. The cinematography is also good, but the writing flaws surface a bit too often.
