Predictable and commercialized take on the Surgical Strike

Rating: 6/10 (8 April 2019)

The movie begins with a stealth operation of the Indian Army against a terrorist camp which turns into an all out confrontation with our men emerging on the winning end. The shining green eyes in the dark in the opening scene set the tone for what is to come. A heavily dramatised and commercialized film with a heavy inclination towards projecting magical cinematography rather than attention to details.
It then leads through the predictable storyline of a soldier with a personal story that starts from gathering pity from a sick mother, the loss of a loved one to being a workaholic.
The acting from Vicky Kaushal in the lead role is commendable. He does bring out the hero that the storyline portrays him to be. All other characters, though, fail to impress. And to top it all of with unrealistic technology again projecting the army as magicians rather than soldiers.
An overrated film without much logic but a lot of projected patriotism. Great for our audience of course. We get what we deserve, right?
