Sam Bahadur

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.

This is one of those movies where a great story has been directed very poorly, Sam Manekshaw who was the first Field Marshall of the Indian Army has a very long and decorated career and this movie tried to cover all of that with a half baked script, it would have been better if they just focused on the Bangaldesh Libration War, either way the direction was really poor and the movie lacked the pace and felt dragged in some parts. It could have been a great movie had it been directed by a more capable person, it did have its moments but the movie did not do the justice to the Great personality and the decorated career of Field Marshell Manekshaw also known as Sam Bahadur.

Awesome portrayal of character of real life war hero by Vicky Kaushal. Outstanding performance and perfect storytelling by the writer. Let me tell you guys Vicky Kaushal didn't act in this movie because the way he walked, the way he talked, his eye movement, body movement, etc etc list is endless, it seemed that Manekshaw sir himself, was acting on the screen. Fantastic Vicky Kaushal and thank you for making us the proud Indian once again and for making us feel lucky to be born in a country which has bred bravehearts like Manekshaw sir. He was a real hero and you portrayed that character and done 1000000% justice to that. Kudos to real hero as well as reel hero.

7.5 Stars.

Although I like the movie, it could have been much better if it was series.

Sam Manekshaw's life is too long and filled with too many experiences to fit into a movie.a lot is crammed still missed a lot.

The ensemble is excellent, especially "Vicky" in the role of "Sam". Not for once, I have the impression that I was watching Vicky the entire time, Sam was the only character I was seeing.

He picked the physical traits as well as commanding yet smooth speaking style. He is a chameleon.

Supporting cast is hit and miss.

The entire set design is excellent, and the raw mood is enhanced by filming conflict scenes in actual locations.

The movie moves quickly between scenes, but Sam's flamboyant, cheeky personality is the only thing that keeps you interested.

As expected from a Meghna Gulzar film, the direction is excellent. However, the screenplay and writing don't do the other supporting characters justice because they have very little on-screen time.

In production design, research and detailing are used to create sets, costumes, and makeup that are entirely visible on screen.

Good songs and music, especially Badhte Chalo, which aptly captures the togetherness of the Indian Army despite its different regiments.

Sam and the system had a fight when he retired, and it was an important aspect of his life that I wanted to see.

Although there is more to the tale, it is still a fantastic film that should be seen.

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.
