#URI-The Surgical Strike Movie Review by #SaltedPopcorn
War movies have never been made extremely good in India barring a few. 'Border' had a feel, an intense one. LOC was pathetic. Thereafter, war movies have been made extremely boring till the time 'Lakshya' released. When I try to remember, I can't remember any contemporary movie name barring 'The Ghazi Attack' which I can tell, has crossed the 'Line of Emotions'.
#URI, the movie based on Surgical Strike hitting 5 terrorists launchpads in PoK is not much of an exception.
Though the movie has been made with utmost care to reflect courage and perseverance of Indian Army and has been shot very well, the basic element of a war movie, the feel, the patriotism, the emotion of 'Jai Hind' & the 'connect' with the viewers is still missing.
A war movie should give you Goosebumps, it is not supposed to be plain. It has to invoke the feeling of 'Proud' among the viewers which unfortunately takes a back seat here.
Talking of acting, #VickyKaushal has done a great job and has again proven his potential. Breaking his usual tone of acting, he has come out of 'decency' and has stepped ahead to become a strong character in this movie.
Lastly, it's not a bad movie. Its a well intended and important movie. It's good to see the game plan of #SurgicalStrike, the determination to fight back the terror. It's nice to see #IndianArmy retaliating with its full force to gun down the terrorists in PoK. But at last, what matters is the connect with the audience which goes heavily missing in the movie.
Had movie name was not 'URI' ( which is definitely unavoidable), the movie would have fallen flat entirely. It's just the name which saves the movie and compels people to watch it. Rest everything is just plain and usual. Can be watched once though for its subject and of course the acting of Vicky Kaushal.
