Positives

2. Acting Department

Negatives

1. Unnecessary Song


Thoughts :

India fought really limited but really great battle and each battle have its unique story on each battle front with its own challenge, and Bollywood also had made lots of War Drama movies even also on the most of its & each movie has its own different takes toward showing the war. So it's not a first time where movie is made on the 'Kargil War' bollywood also had adopted the story of Kargil War' on different fronts So 2021's War Drama movie 'Shershaah' is also one of them.


But this movie is more of the Autobiography of the Captain Vikram Batra who was an officer of the Indian Army, 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.


Good Aspects :

* All Actors did great job but 'Siddharth Mhalotra' did phenomenal job playing lead role. (One of his greatest of his career) The chemistry between the Siddharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani looks amazing.

* Just like I said the VFX, War and Fighting Sequences are pretty good especially the opening scene of Kargil War, all Kashmir Scenes looks beautiful on screen.

* Story stay close to reality and does not glorify any Charachter which is really great point to admire about the movie. Because most of the movies try to overhype or glorify the Charachter or scene. But the movie tries to stick with the reality and to keep things natural.

* Another plus point about the movie is it's emotions and you can feel it in the climax. Also the BGM music fits perfectly to the scenes.

* The story maintenance it's pace From the start to end. So because of that movie doesn't bore you except the love story part between Vikram Batra and Dimple.


Bad Aspects :

Which is the one and only drawback from this movie. Bollywood has the habit of showing love story in every movie, which will also get to see this movie, the songs of the movie slow downs story. Except the song showed it in the end of the film is perfect and necessary for the scene to add an emotion in the movie. but the rest of the songs didn't necessarily for the movie and can be skipped.


Conclusion :

So overall movie is really amazing and entertaining. You feel happy Proud and emotional after watching the movie, and Yes 'Shershaah' is one of the best real war drama depection movie made in India which everyone should watch.
