Sam Bahadur
Sam Bahadur is based on the life of first Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Besides Vicky appearing as Sam Manekshaw, the film also has Sanya Malhotra playing his wife while Fatima Sana Shaikh essayed the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The film has received much appreciation from the X users amid mixed reviews from critics. Many hailed Vicky Kaushal for his performance. It would be interesting to see how it performs at the box office alongside Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal overall.
Sam Bahadur review
The Sam Bahadur reads, “If there’s one thing that keeps you hooked to Sam Bahadur, it has to be Vicky Kaushal. After a largely underwhelming year in terms of characters written for him in Govinda Naam Mera, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke and The Great Indian Family, Sam Bahadur gives Kaushal just the kind of magic to work that he has showcased in Sardar Udham, Raazi (2018) and Masaan (2015). In the hands of a lesser performer, Manekshaw’s gait, affected vocalisation and widely known effortless charm and quick wit might look like a caricature, but the ever-confident Kaushal maintains a firm grip over the character. His offscreen candour and self-accepting ways translate beautifully into the protagonist’s optimism and unwavering faith in his abilities.”
