HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
shubhamchandere Q: how to copy Hollywood movie A: add religious angle
rockaclimba I do not know why some good films comes and goes- and no one knows even their names. Such a film is SHAURYA. India's first movie where we admit that human rights violation do happen in our army which is perhaps one of world's top three army force. very good casting, very good screenplay and fantastic display of hard work and dedication. I can not forget K.K. Mennon....he made dramatic impact and why not ...he should. Afterall he from drama and stage....and this much is good for him to have some real exercise but kudos for director who used his capability to act in climax.I think everyone should see this and specially for college students. If it could be tax free- I would be more happy.ODD: I found heroine opposite R. Bose looks aged. Her face in some shots looks very aged.
AishFan Shaurya is a movie that illustrates the true meaning and value of gallantry. For decades, whether or not the government is a reliable or not, the public has always had full faith in our soldiers. Stories of valiant soldiers, the bravery needed to fight at the battlefield, the heroic sacrifices they make, and the honorable virtues of honesty, loyalty, and commitment to duty are legacies generations long that make an armed forces and a country proud. However, what is one to make of one soldier shooting a comrade? How can a dedicated soldier attack one of his own? The first answer that comes into the mind, and also the one that most would like to hear, is that the soldier is not one but a terrorist.As India liberalizes, Shaurya dares to question some of the actions going on in a group that India has always trusted by and large--the army. While quite a few movies have attempted to venture into this theme, they by no means compare to Shaurya.Everything about this movie is fantastic. Two things that stand out the most are the character development and the performances. Each role and dialog is so well-written and thought out. It is not a simple case of good vs. evil, or following the new trend of "gray shade characters", but rather a believable glimpse at reality. There are some brilliant scenes that further enhance the characters. With such meaty and intense roles, all the actors gave marvelous performances right from Rahul Bose (one of his best) to Javed Jaffari. The surprise package was K.K. who was mind-blowing at the climax.
Raj Shah Directed by: Samar Khan Written by: Jaydeep Sarkar, Aparnaa Malhotra and Samar Khan *ing: Rahul Bose, Javed Jaaferi, Kay Kay Menon, Deepak Dobriyal, Minissha Lamba and Amrita AroraShaurya is a story of personal courage amidst conflicting convictions set in the backdrop of the Indian army in Srinagar, Kashmir. Javed Khan (Deepak Dobriyal)(a bright, introvert soldier of the Rajputana unit who shoots, his commanding officer, killing him instantly during a terrorist search operation. He is immediately taken under house arrest until the verdict during his court martial. He chooses to remain silent about the incident. With his co-soldiers also testifying against him there is no evidence for his defense.His defense is a carefree, careless lawyer Major Siddhant Chaudhry.(Rahul Bose) He was in Srinagar to accompany his friend, the prosecuting lawyer Major Aakash Kapoor (Javed Jaaferi) and satiate his hunger for adventure sports.Major Aakash Kapoor charges Javed of links with the 'terrorists he saved' that night at the operation. So was Javed associated with a terrorist group? Or this was all fabricated? Had he shot the commanding officer or was it a terrorist? Watch Sid handle the case with Kaavya shastri (Minissha Lamba) a local journalist, unearthing dark secrets and his shaurya to confront the truth that may ultimately save or kill his defense. Shaurya raises some uncomfortable questions. A well executed climax makes up for the slow first half. Shaurya's drawback could be raising too many questions and leaving some unanswered, confusing the viewer. To know what is answered and unanswered, watch the movie : )A tight script with true-to-character dialogues does leave a smile on your face in certain scenes. The background score is good with a 'do-away-with' item song. Rahul Bose is natural and performs exceptionally. Deepak Dobriyal as an introvert, guilty soldier does well for his role. Minissha Lamba, Javed Jaaferi, Amrita Arora are good. Kay Kay Menon steals the show. Watch him set the screen ablaze in the climax. The casting teams should pat themselves for choosing the right actors. Samar Khan deserves applause for showing Shaurya for making Shaurya. *** P.S: Do leave your comments on www.ushouldno.com
