Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (Farhan Akhtar), who was in charge of the group of 120 soldiers, is the main character in the narrative. Rezang La, a strategically crucial location for any army, was China’s next target after they unlawfully seized portions of India during the 1962 Indo-China War. Major Shaitan Singh Bhati chose to halt the Chinese army at Rezang La even though he knew that the Indian army could not defeat thousands of Chinese soldiers with barely 120 soldiers. The story’s true core is its climax. Therefore, one needs to watch it to find out what occurs at the conclusion.
The film’s central character is actor Farhan Akhtar. He gives a strong performance. In the part of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati’s wife, actress Raashii Khanna looks fantastic on television. Her performance is beyond amazing. Other performers who have performed well in their roles include Ankit Siwach, Vivan Bhatena, Dhanveer Singh, Sahib Verma, and others.
The film clearly demonstrates the magic of Razneesh Ghai’s direction. He has made every effort to faithfully present this incredible true story on cinema.
In addition to having a compelling plot, screenplay, and dialogue, the movie also has strong music. The score by Satish Raghunathan and the songs by Amit Trivedi, Salim-Sulaiman, and Amjad Nadeem Aamir are excellent and very attractive. The film’s beauty is enhanced by Javed Akhtar’s lyrics.
Overall, this is among the best historical war movies that Indians shouldn’t miss. Everyone should be aware of this untold tale of the valor and bravery of our great Indian soldiers. Why wait, then? Visit the movie theatre closest to you to view it.
