His isn't a typical bollywood film filled with unnecessary songs, dances, romances or titillating bodies. No.

This is a straight forward "zero dark thirty"-esque no-nonsense plot driven gritty war thriller.

The actors are all great but Vicky Kaushal easily stands out amongst them all.

The production value can give Hollywood films a run for their money.

At times it tends to be slightly jingoistic but thankfully those times pass by soon. Majority of the film takes a realistic approach to the surgical strike events.

Also, contrary to beliefs, this film doesn't show any country or religion in bad light, just terrorists hiding in a neighbouring country.

A great watch overall. Full paisa vasool.
