Our review for Shershaah is 10/10.
Summary
The movie is about a real-life hero, Capt. Vikram Batra whose brave acts paved the way to the victory of India in one of the toughest mountain wars ever fought – The Kargil War. Vikram Batra is a patriotic soldier who is daring and ready to do anything for his motherland. He is deterministic about his moves and has the charm to make people love him easily.
Vikram, right from his first mission risks his life while fighting off the terrorists as well as to save his own batch mates. Vikram loses one of his best friends in the conflict caused by Pakistan at Kargil and he along with his teammates are assigned with the mission to get back the bunkers captivated by Pakistan. Vikram is given an alias during the Kargil war, ie, Shershaah. The rest of the movie is about how Capt. Vikram became one of the biggest reasons for India to win the Kargil War.
Review
Shershaah is a well-made war movie. Rather than just bombs and bullets, Shershaah has its own emotional chapters and a glimpse of Capt. Vikram Batra’s love life. Siddharth Malhotra gave his career-best performance as Vikram Batra and his dialogue delivery and acting were top-notch. His performance was so good that the viewers will get goosebumps and will feel teary at the right places.
A war movie, even though a strong script is made bad is of no good. Director Vishnu Vardhan made sure that the movie is technically strong as well. From background score, music to VFX and action choreography, Shershaah is perfect in all ways.
Conclusion
Shershaah is a befitting tribute to the Kargil War hero Capt. Vikram Batra, a movie that’s technically strong backed up by excellent performances and a strong screenplay.
