About 'Sam Bahadur'
Sam Bahadur revolves around the life of the first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw. In addition to Vicky portraying Sam Manekshaw, the movie features Sanya Malhotra as his wife, and Fatima Sana Shaikh takes on the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The movie has garnered significant praise from audiences, with X users expressing appreciation, although critics' reviews have been mixed. Vicky Kaushal's performance has particularly received acclaim from many. It will be intriguing to witness its box office performance in comparison to Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal.
The Hindustan Times review of Sam Bahadur highlights, “If there’s one thing that keeps you hooked to Sam Bahadur, it has to be Vicky Kaushal. After a largely underwhelming year in terms of characters written for him in Govinda Naam Mera, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke and The Great Indian Family, Sam Bahadur gives Kaushal just the kind of magic to work that he has showcased in Sardar Udham, Raazi (2018) and Masaan (2015). In the hands of a lesser performer, Manekshaw’s gait, affected vocalisation and widely known effortless charm and quick wit might look like a caricature, but the ever-confident Kaushal maintains a firm grip over the character. His offscreen candour and self-accepting ways translate beautifully into the protagonist’s optimism and unwavering faith in his abilities.”
