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.

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.

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.

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.
