URI:The Surgical Strike.
This a very late review considering half of India must'v already watched it and it's been some time since it released, better late than never i suppose.
It was 27th Jan, the Day after Republic Day. Like all movies these days, this also preceded with the national anthem only difference being in the video it also included national athletes who'v made my country proud... Very proud. At the end of the national anthem, it was unexpectedly quiet considering the movie but my almost 5 yr old daughter would have none of it and let out a resounding JAI HIND after which few more added to the chorus . I felt very sheepishly proud with all the eyes looking back to see who it was which included a few trainees from armed forces.ππππ
URI-The Surgical Strike... is based on true events which have transpired within the last few years. It ticks all the boxes that i feel needs to be in a movie but it in reality is really not a movie but an emotion. Fist pumping, knuckle cracking, all guns blazing, adrenaline thumping, gut wrenching emotion that will leave u in tears of sorrow at one part and tears of Joyous pride in another.
Most of us going to watch this might have known what this is about and how it's going to end so it's a bigger challenge to narrate a story to an audience who already know what's coming their way. The maker's have made fabulous work in making sure that it stays that way - Keeping nothing subtle about what this is about and rightly so is smack right in your face. This reminded me of BORDER in some ways but with much less drama which is the preferred way for the current lot of movie audiences like me.
I liked the way the movie started, introduction of the main characters without much of a fuss, how they slowly got entwined in the story to deliver a masterclass thru out . I can't speak for factual accuracy of the whole storyline, however the part where daughter gives out the war cry for her martyred father was picked/inspired straight out of Colonel MN Rai funeral procession. Could not hold tears when news first broke out in 2015, was pretty much the same here as well.
Of all the parts portrayed to depict various politicians - a far shot for many others but it looked like it was actually parikkar in some ways. Vicky Kaushal is no stranger in the film fraternity, still was in his nascent stages till Sanju came up and has announced himself BIG TIME with URI. Only a small percent of big things coming his way.
There has been quite sometime since such a movie was made, right in all aspects of a very well depicted emotions on the armed forces post URI. Pumps up the adrenaline the right way so to speak.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie - wouldn't be surprised if i plan for a second outing.
And yes indeed - Yeh Naya Hindustan hain, ghar mein ghusega bhi aur maarega bhi. πππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½
