MOVIE REVIEW: Sam Bahadur stands as a significant film that demands the attention of every youth in the country. It offers a compelling narrative with impressive cinematography and well-crafted dialogues that are sure to leave an impact. Director Meghna Gulzar takes viewers on a historical journey, shedding light on pivotal events through the eyes of its central character, Sam Manekshaw.
The film, although captivating in many aspects, seems to offer enjoyment only in fragmented segments. This could be attributed to the occasional inconsistencies in the narrative flow or pacing, preventing the audience from fully immersing themselves in the story. However, the screenplay, though engaging in bits and pieces, lacks the consistent flow needed for a seamless cinematic journey. The moments of engagement are strong, but they are not sustained throughout, leaving the audience wanting more coherence in the storytelling.
Vicky Kaushal’s superlative performance injects life into the character, delivering a depiction that resonates with authenticity. His excellent performance brings the character to life, providing a portrayal that feels remarkably authentic. The noteworthy characters, including Ayub’s General Yahya Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh as Indira Gandhi, Neeraj Kabi as Jawaharlal Nehru, and Govind Namdev as Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel enhance the overall storytelling and contribute to the historical authenticity portrayed on screen.
