Watch Shaurya For Free

Wonderful Movie

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Great story, killed brutally by pathetic acting by the lead actors, especially Rahul Bose and Manisha Lamba. Shaurya is a story of an Indian army captain who is accused of killing a decorated officer. The movie doesn't just uncover the reason for the killing but also the reason why the accused captain doesn't want to be defended. Story (9/10): Captain Javed Khan is accused of killing his superior, Major Rathore, during an operation in Kashmir and has been on trial for court martial. He has a chance to defend himself but he, instead, chooses to be silent and not be defended. It is a seemingly open and shut case but as the army lawyer defending Javed Khan, Major Siddhant Chaudhry digs deeper into the case with the help of a local reporter, Kaavya Shastri, the trail leads to many faces unearthed. The story has been brilliantly written with some weak patches in the first half of the movie. The unexpected suspense has been well maintained till the end of the movie, which makes it a great watch. Acting (6/10): This movie saw extremes when it came to acting. Deepak Dobriyal and Kay Kay Menon are absolutely outstanding with great expressions and dialog delivery. However, it was a little too much to expect from them, given the screen time their roles got, to sail the movie through. Javed Jaffrey was good enough for his character of prosecutor lawyer. However, the greatest disappointment was Rahul Bose and Manisha Lamba. Rahul Bose just never tried to change his expressions for once, throughout the movie and the dialog delivery was totally off, except later on in some of the courtroom scenes. Manisha Lamba didn't impress at all, for pretty much the same reasons as Rahul Bose. Direction (9/10): Samar Khan did a good job with the direction. The pacing, the length, conceptualization of the scenes is just right. Given the army background, the level of melodrama was also kept very low which was great. The climax was amazingly well executed and Kay Kay Menon's monologue ensured a fitting end to the entire movieOverall (8/10): Overall, it's a good movie to watch for sure, keeping aside the awful performances by the lead characters.

As posted by others below, this movie is loosely based on the academy award winning A few good men. I am okay with Bollywood basing movies on successful Hollywood films as long as it is done sensibly. I was really looking forward to this movie as I really liked AFGM and have watched it many many times. The direction of the movie is terrible, the movie is not paced correctly. A lot of time is spend in characters peripheral to the story and there is no payoff at the end. Also the whole Hindu/Muslim angle did not make sense. It has been done over and over, why not pick something less offensive, something communally neutral? Also, the script is quite weak. It takes Bose weeks to figure out that Javed had 11 bullets left? Are you kidding me?? It took an epiphany to figure that out?? The performance of Bose is no match for Cruise, same is true about all other characters. KKM, as good as he is, come no where close to JN's performance. Another little annoying part of the movie was how some of the dialogues were literal translation (such as "you can't handle the truth"). Why not write more sensible dialogues that make sense in the Indian setting. Guess they are not creative enough to do so...Avoid this one; Two thumbs down.

Indian Scenario - The movie is a copy of the English title "A Few Good Men" albeit with story from Kashmir.One can match the roles of the Cast from the English title.There is enough juice to make movie. Let's start to just DUB the movies and may be we would enjoy a little more.Indian Scenario - The movie is a copy of the English title "A Few Good Men" albeit with story from Kashmir.One can match the roles of the Cast from the English title.There is enough juice to make movie.

So you have the 'I'm too cool for my job' Rahul Bose who in spite of being in armed forces sleeps till 1 PM and has to be woken up by his spectacled-hence-pencil-pusher friend.You have the bubbly reporter who introduces her character by speaking everything we need to know, out loud in her only conversations with herself. Then you have the scenes where Rahul Bose is cooler than everybody around him so he won't even look at the files of the case he has been handed, you have the scene where the reporter makes him realize the error of his ways, you have the melodramatic mother's monologue, the family history of being patriotic, the cigar smoking brigadier, the preparing for the case with coffee montage, the stopping in the middle of an highway because it is important to recreate the crime scene ASAP... but all of this you were ready for. What you weren't ready for was the preaching, you weren't ready for the story that would not have been possible without the Brigadier who HAD to have it for an entire religion. That the accused HAD to be a Muslim to be tried and perhaps even HAD to be a Muslim to be humane enough.Don't waste your time people. Watch 'A Few Good Men' again and read some book on secularism. This movie isn't worth it.
