Vicky Kaushal is BACK, and not that it needs to be re-iterated, but this kind-handsome-humble human never disappoints. Offscreen or onscreen. Kaushal is one of those rare names in the entertainment industry whose work you can rely upon with closed eyes. He recently depicted the title role of the legend Sam Manekshaw in Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur, and the actor was at his best.
Sam Manekshaw was the first Indian to be conferred the rank of Field Marshal, the highest attainable rank in the Indian army. Known for his witty sense of humour and bravery, Manekshaw played a fundamental role in guiding India to victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Alongside Kaushal, the film also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Neeraj Kabi, Edward Sonnenblick and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub.
People who watched the film on the premiere day walked out of theatres with a sense of pride, gratitude, and respect for Manekshaw. Kaushal seems to have hit the nail on the head with this depiction of Manekshaw’s greatness.
People have also shared a general sentiment of awe for Kaushal’s natural talent to absorb the characters of great personalities. His previous depictions of Sardar Udham Singh and now Sam Manekshaw are a testament to his acting aptitude. Besides his compelling performance, Gulzar’s direction and the powerful dialogues make the film worth watching.
Not the reactions, but here are 15 tweets to convince you why you need to watch this film:

Go watch #SamBahadur now, feel proud of the man who secured #Bharat so many times. Best work of @meghnagulzar till date, @vickykaushal09 keeps you hooked. Though Indira Gandhi’ real disliking for Manekshaw is not shown but the film glorifies the real hero! pic.twitter.com/CVXkilZssa

As expected #SamBahadur is another perfect movie this week. The direction is sort of documentary style combining a lot real footages.And trust me Vicky Kaushal nailed the performance. From the walk to talk, everything is shouting that no one else could have handled the character… pic.twitter.com/8zKYfZVQdC

Don't go by the reviews, watch it yourself. pic.twitter.com/4cEzXzVkVF
My only complaint with #SamBahadur is that it could have been extended to an hour at least. So many stories to tell about the man. Vicky Kaushal did justice to the character 🙂

There is one scene in #SamBahadur where the camera is so close to #VickyKaushal 's face where he experiences his feelings after becoming Field Marshal and this is what we call CINEMA.

#SamBahadur takes its place as a cinematic masterpiece. The brilliant and fantastic storyline creates the foundation, with #VickyKaushal's One Man Army stealing the thunder with mind-blowing supremacy. Top-level direction and amazing acting seal the deal. pic.twitter.com/spnrFL0m55

Let us watch movies that tell more important stories than the ones that exist to polarise in the disguise of fiction. Sam Bahadur is an important story of a great man.
