The Great Indian Escape

Let me start off by saying, as an actor and film-maker myself since 2012, a finished film is always a huge milestone. I've seen others and myself, either not following-through or putting projects on hold. And that's a tragedy. So film-makers will always be respected. Overall, I felt the film was lacking that oomph to lift it up to higher success. I'm no expert by any stretch but it seemed a little short on perspectives. I really like how the actual real-life heroes were incorporated in the film. Hats-off for that. (not a spoiler)

In terms of performances, I felt like the lead actor was lack-lustre. Some of the other performances were a highlight though. Asheesh, Nimesh, Rohan, Raaj Singh Arora and Tushar Phulke were really great!

Above all that, the main goal of this film is to bring to light the fact that life doesn't come with capes, perfect bodies and magic but with blood, sweat, tears and everyday folk. Our soldiers, navy and air-force being the best of us. Right up there with world changers like Bill Gates. That is what real heroes look like.

And to make a film howcasing their bravery is what's important. Which, once you look past the flaws, this film has certainly achieved.
