Director: Raja Menon
Genre: History, War, Drama



One off Bollywood films based on history, which is a must watch!



You may look forward to:

• Akshay Kumar doles out a terrific performance, as the film rides entirely on his shoulders. He is one actor, whose movies if not over hyped or closely awaited, but when he delivers, he doesn't fail creating a roar. He pulls off the role of a leader in an atmosphere of major crisis very conveniently, his charismatic attitude adds on to his profile 
• Nimrat Kaur is a good support, although she doesn't have any meaty role. She looks ravishing, as well gives out some countable good dialogue deliveries
• Kumud Mishra has a very significant role to play, one who is majorly contributing to bring about the evacuation plan to a success
• Purab Kohli and Feryna Wazheir has a silent but a good supporting role. Nissar Khan and Ninad Kama, adds on to the supports
• Prakash Belawadi helps adding on to some humorous angle to the otherwise dramatized version of this piece of history

What you can sleep over:

They never show what happens to the first batch of 500 people who are evacuated on a ship, that remains quite a mystery for what so ever reasons




The dampeners you should be aware of:

• Inaamulhaq is less threatening and more a friendly and funny villain of the film :P Most of the villainous act lies with the rampant soldiers
• The feeling of crisis barring few instances didn't really feel as looming, as it must have been in reality

My Rating: 3.5/5
