A great Indian Film made for Country Lovers. Loved the film.

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2019)

This is what is called a good film. I went to watch Uri with my apprehensions because I highly doubted that a first-time director could pull a difficult film like this. But the film astonishes you at the beginning itself
Everyone knows that the film is about Surgical strikes and is a more or less factual- fictional account of the same. It is about why India did URI attack and how it planned for it as well.
Vicky Kaushal excels in the role of Vihaan and there are no imperfections when it comes to him playing this role. He looks like an army officer and behaves like one. His dialogue delivery has improved miles and bounds since his first film. He has great expressions and like seasoned actors he takes right pauses and takes his time in saying the dialogues.
Mohit Raina is superb in the small role and makes a huge impact in the minds of the reader. Everyone almost cried and shouted when he died in the film. He has good screen presence and he is continuously proving himself to be a great actor. He was truly missed in the second half. Everyone missed him and that's the beauty of a great character.
Yami Gautam and Kirti Kulhari didn't have much to do in the film and both of them can be said to be a character artist in the film. It is brave that they did the film.
Paresh Rawal excels in the role of Ajit Doval and Rajit Kapoor plays Modi like it should be played. None of the characters mimicked the actual character and concentrated more on the character rather than doing the living imitation of the real characters.
Cinematography by Mitesh Mirchandani is absolutely brilliant and there are some shots you wonder how he must have taken. I am pretty sure it had been a difficult shoot for him. The movie looked like there was lots of hard work that was done in it. Editing by Shivkuar Panicker is also good and there are no redundant chunks which bore the audience. I didn't even know when Interval came. The film moves so fast.
The film does not stutter around the emotions, relations or romance mostly and concentrates mostly on one single theme - The surgical strikes. That is the thing the good films are made of. To have a single concept and let the story revolve around it. The film moves very fast and events unfold one after another. The movie is written in a book format and chapter names keep appearing to show time and event transitions. There is a prologue scene which shows how the Indian Army takes the revenge when their own people are killed and attacked.
There was thorough shouting in the hall and everyone was full of patriotism after watching the film, clapped and shout - Jai Hind. It was great to see so many people connect with the film.
The film is absolutely brilliant and is must watch for the connoisseur of good films. From no angle this is a propaganda film, this film is a great Indian Film and I am proud that Aditya Dhar made a film like this.
