Shershaah Movie Reviews

Shershah

Review By Kamal K

The film Shershaah is based on the real life story of Captain Vikram Batra. He was an officer of the Indian Army, who got posthumously awarded with the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest and most prestigious award for valour, for his actions during the 1999 Kargil War in Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

It’s not just a typical war movie but is a life story of a national hero. This movie showed different sides of capt. Vikram Batra’s personality which made us love him more. He was more than a war hero. He had a filmy, sweet lover in him too. The whole movie was a mix of so much emotions. Climax had me in tears. The love story was unique and beyond expectations. Really felt a big respect of Dimple mam.

Starting from the promotional JaiHind ki Senaa; all the songs including Raatan lambiyan and Raanjha was masterpieces.

Sidharth Malhotra He lived the character. Totally nailed it. Each and every emotion was nicely potrayed.

Surely his best performance so far.

Acting out a real life character is not an easy task.

Talking about Kiara Advani, Kiara has done a good job and I am quite impressed with her accent particularly the Punjabi speaking skills she has shown in the film. Worth taking a note of it.

Lastly I would say, you can watch this film more than once. So good is the film. I would also thank the makers for displaying photos and names of the original war heroes in the end part of the film. These army men deserve their glory and honor. We are all proud of them.

This IS a world record!

Don’t be fooled by the record breaking bogus all new accounts high reviews, this was a terrible film, not even close to the current rating. Chop that in half, maybe. The screenplay was all over the place and the acting bland. Directing was amateurish at best. The only redeeming quality was the cinematography.

Shershaah leaves you in tears as well as celebrates hardcore patriotism with commercialized jingoism in War Drama.

Shershaah (2021) : Movie Review –

War Drama is one of the biggest genre in World cinema since last 100 years or maybe more. Hollywood celebrated this genre like no one else with World War 1 and & World War 2 subjects whereas foreign language cinema focused more on the realistic effects and horrors of the same. In Bollywood, ‘Haqeeqat’ set a benchmark which hasn’t been crossed yet by any other film and for the commercial and massy elements ‘Border’ became a landmark. Even Border had that unrealistic jingoism but for 90s audience it was overwhelming stuff and the film still enjoys a cult following in TV audience. Recently, the biggest thing came in this genre was ‘Uri : The Surgical Strike’ which wasn’t a great film at all but the timing was so accurate that people just went for it without thinking about anything. Those actual events happened around its release left people with anger and the outburst was already captured by the film hence the box office numbers surpassed all expectations. Shershaah is as good as Uri, so yes it also repeated the same mistakes but again, the same commercialized outlook has saved the film. A shocking thing about Shershaah is, it’s extremely emotional film in those last 10 minutes which leaves everyone with teary eyes.

Tracing the life journey of Param Vir Chakra awardee and army captain Vikram Batra, it stars Sidharth Malhotra in a double role, as Batra and his identical twin brother Vishal, while Kiara Advani plays the role of Vikram’s girlfriend Dimple Cheema. The film does not have any defaming material as we have seen in few films recently and that’s why the clean image of army and soldiers fills your chest with pride. Having a burden of relating to biographical genre, the film struggles to establish few important things and in between the love story and the songs do irritate a little bit. Thankfully, that’s not too irritating so one can easily pass those moments to enjoy some great moments later.

Performance of Sidharth Malhotra is the best we have seen so far. Actually, this is his only 2nd or 3rd acting oriented role while other times he was busy playing a cool, funky guy and here he gets that potential role to showcase different side of his talent. Kiara Advani is more of a powdered doll and if you exclude songs then Shershaah is like a cameo role for her. The Army gang is decent, nothing great which includes Nikitin Dheer, Shiv Pandit and Himmanshoo Malhotra in major roles. Music is fine despite having a misjudged timing in the screenplay. Editing and VFX are okay, though, more accuracy would have been better. Shershaah never bores you because it’s a pacy film, the credit should go to the well written screenplay.

War Genre is an open genre, it does not limit you with anything so it can be used for anything you want. Hollywood used it for patriotic films, for musicals, for biographicals, for controversial films, for hard-hitting dramas and for sensational theories. Even recently Hollywood made Masterpiece films like ‘The Hacksaw Ridge’ and ‘1917’. Well, Bollywood is far behind. When Hollywood made a film like ‘Patton’, Bollywood was not even making mainstream war films and what a freaking amazing classic Patton was and is even today. That high-quality filmmaking is missing now days and for bollywood it’s like, almost 50 years ahead from Today. We can be happy with films like Uri and Shershaah as our masses and TV audience would never complain about it so Yes, Shershaah is definitely watchable. Director Vishnuvardhan has certainly made a watchable film. But never forget that the potential for Biographical-War drama is always unlimited, and like I said not every film can be ‘Patton’. So, overall Shershaah has everything one can expect from a commercial patriotic drama and i strongly believe that it deserved to be viewed on big screen.

RATING – 6.5/10*
