KARGIL WAR is one of the darkest chapters in INDIAN HISTORY..527 BRAVEHEARTS laid their lives to save the nation ..
The BRAVERY & VALOUR of INDIAN ARMY was EXEMPLARY..
One such BRAVEHEART was Captain VIKRAM BATRA ..whose life is brought on screen in this biopic
VIKRAM BATRA (SHERSHAAH- Code name given to him)...also played beautifully by ABHISHEK BACHCHAN in J.PDUTTA's 2003 epic "LOC KARGIL' ..chronicles the life journey of this noble soul who brought accolades to the country
VISHNU VARDHAN helmed biopic traverses the journey from his childhood ...college romance ...to his dream of joining the army till his last breath...
War scenes have been shot beautifully
First half takes time to build up with major action reserved post interval
SCREENPLAY at times is stagnant & slow too but picks up pace towards the latter half
DIALOGUES are good & couple of them indeed WHISTLE worthy
Background music lacks the real punch...that could have lift the film to a different level
SIDDHARTH .M. lives the role & does a tremendous job..his best till date
KIARA ADVANI...is an apt cast
SHIV PANDIT...NIKITIN DHEER...ANIL CHARANJEET & rest of the cast support well..
A TENDER TRIBUTE to KARGIL WAR ..!!!
Shall leave you teary eyed..but could have packed a more punch..still...WORTH A WATCH..!!
