![]() ![]() No doubt Menon is one of the finest performers of this decade and he leaves his mark in every scene he is in. In a role that has just 4 to 5 screen appearances in the entire movie he creates such a aura that you simple want more of him. The way he portrayed a character who lives by his own rules leaves you awestruck. Small appearances but mature performances by Seema Biswaas (as Captain Javed’s Mother) and Amrita Rao (as dead Major Rathor’s wife).īut the performance that not only holds the fort from one end but outshines everyone else is Kay Kay Menon as Brigadier Pratap. Fine supports from Javed Jaffery as Major Akash Kapoor Major Siddharth’s best friend and the prosecution lawyer, Deepak Dobriyal as Capt Javed and Minisha Lamba as Kavya Shashtri a journalist. But this entire operation and killing of civilian is manufactured due to irrational and extremist thinking of Brig Pratap who has a deep rooted personal tragedy and has lost his family in communal riots and so justifies these killings as discipline and protecting his country.Ī yet another great performance by Rahul Bose as Major Siddharth Chaudhary – from a young carefree, fun loving and outgoing officer to a tough fearless Major who discovers the ugly truth keeps you spellbound. Siddharth and Kavya investigate the case to find out Javed disobeyed and killed Rathore to save the innocent muslim civilians but more important chose to remain silent as he knew the incident if exposed would shake the trust on the army. He is man of his will and believes to enforce discipline and protect nation in his own ways. ![]() The story also involves a high profile army personal Brigadier Pratap (Kay Kay Menon) who had ordered the search operation and was mentor to Major Rathore and so wants Capt Javed to be dead. Siddharth then decides to uncover the truth and now is pitted against his best friend Akash and so their friendship is on stake. Siddharth without a clue of the ground realities has decided to plead Javed as guilty but is evoked by a journalist Kavya Shashtri (Minisha Lamba) that the case isn’t as lucid as it seems rather has several layers to it. Everyone in army believes it is an open and shut case as Capt Javed is all silent about the shooting and every witness is against him. His best of buddy Major Siddharth Chaudhary (Rahul Bose) is a carefree, fun loving and outgoing officer chooses to be defense lawyer so that he can accompany his buddy Akash to Shrinagar. Major Akash Kapoor (Javed Jaffery) is a sensible and admirable army man who is about to marry his love but is assigned to this case as prosecution lawyer. It simply makes you believe the fact “Yes… it is truth and it could happen” and that very feeling brings a sense of uneasiness in you and that’s the moment when you connect to the movie.Īn Muslim army man Captain Javed Khan (Deepak Dobriyal) has been sentenced to court-martial for killing his officer in command Major Rathore on a search operation in a village near LOC in Kashmir. This job of the writers is so commendable that you never suspect the idea behind story even for a single moment. īut despite that fact I still give credit to director Samar Khan and writers Samar Khan, Aparnaa Malhotra, Jaydeep Sarkar for taking up the original plot line and then fixing it into Indian backdrop. Though I have heard from people that it is inspired from/based on/resembles hollywood hit A FEW GOOD MEN- *ing Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson ( I haven’t seen it yet). What does one need more from a sensible cinema? The film itself stands tall with a storyline untouched by Indian film makers. Shaurya is one fine piece of movie with some great performances, a good script and some fine dialogues. I prefer to watch any sensible movie alone with no one around me to disturb and today was one such occasion with my roommate sleeping till late (He enjoys sleeping late even on working days □ ) and me getting a very good movie to watch in my way. ![]() Though I had seen it in bits and pieces, every time when it was aired on some channel but this was the first time I had an opportunity to watch it completely.
