Summary: A must watch for every Human being belonging to any race, religion, caste or gender.

Plot: The plot is a mixture of life of Major Vihan and his commandos leading upto the shameful attack on URI district by terrorists attacking and killing 19 soldiers in their sleep till the first half, the second half is dedicated to planning and execution of the URI surgical strike by the Indian army commandos lead by Major Vihan.

Script/Screenplay/Dialogue: The overall script is very mixed, while there are parts which are highly realistic and close to ground, there are also parts of typical bolllywood massala (mostly the additional fiction). These fictional additions are not really breaking the nature or mood of the film, they are very basic and typically seen in any bollywood movie, although the writes/directors could have done a much better job if they instead added the fiction which could be more fitting in the film.

Here I will list the absurd parts, no spoilers just the names, so you will realize them as you are watching the movie. 1. Secret Agent becoming terrorist interrogator, 2. Agent not telling about GPS for no reason until the end to ummm... show attitude?, 3. Garud drone from random kid, 4. Buildup being shown as Chapters, 5. Security officer breaking phones after each call, 6. The recruit commandos somehow already know how to respond to Major Vihan's Punch line. etc.

Screenplay: Screenplay is extremely strong until the final strike, the emotions, the feel, the tension everything is spot on, and that's why the film is extremely enjoyable and satisfying. The small problem I have is that I was expecting to see some scenes showcasing the other 3 groups in which all the commandos were split, but only Major Vihan's group's strike was shown on screen. But overall everything you watch on screen will be very accurate and ensure the flow of all kinds of emotion in every moment.

Dialogue: The dialogue in this movie nothing over the top, and that's a good thing. All dialogues perfectly fit in the scenario and there are a couple of quote worthy one's too, including Major Vihan's punch line, Major Karan's daughter's War Cry (extremely emotional), etc.

Acting/Performance by Artists: Every single actor and actress has performed very good in the movie, EXCEPT (well you had it coming) Yami Gautam. To be honest, Yami's character is a complete fill in, there is no single need of that character at all, literally. Her character is totally forgettable and does nothing to add to the story. Talking about her performance, well I don't know what is with the female artists in bollywood, specially the bigger names, they are all cast for their cute faces, and the fanbase that they'll bring to the cinemas. Her performance is extremely pathetic, she is completely overshadowed by Kirti Kulhari's performance as Seerat Kaur. Just watching the interrogation scene will make you realize how bad Yami is, and that her character overall accomplishes nothing. An extreme fill in with no purpose to the story. On the other hand, Vicky, Rohit, Paresh and the others do very good job as their characters.

Music/Songs/Mood: 100% spot on as required, no complains here. Although I will mention that during initial credits scene the music that is used way too high energy to begin with, so the pace kicks off right from the start.

Vfx/Budget/Hardware: The specifications are not released to the public, so I cannot comment on that, the budget was estimated around 60-65 million $ and I think it does a fairly good job of using that budget to create a good overall cinematic experience.

Genre and it's justification: The Genre is action/war and honestly speaking, movie has a lot of realistic action and army grade gore, ofcourse this movie is not for kids in anyway, there is blood and gore in the movie which is obvious for this genre. Genre is completely justified, except for the added bollywood style fiction.

Conclusion and Should You watch it in a Theater?: This is a bollywood movie I have loved in a long time, and you should definitely watch this in a theater as soon as you can.

My ratings : 7/10 Reducing 3 three stars from three reasons. 1. Screenplay didn't involve the 3 other groups. 2. Yami Gautam. 3. Massala Fiction.
