Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal’s film ‘Sam Bahadur’ has been in the news for the last few days. This film directed by Meghna Gulzar was released in theaters today.

The story of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw is portrayed in the film, which starts from his childhood. Why do Sam’s parents change his name as a child at the beginning of the film? It has been shown. Let us know what is the story of the film.

The film ‘Sam Bahadur’ starts with the change of name. The reason behind that is that theft happens in their area day and night. The name of the thief who committed the theft and the name of the child are the same. That’s why parents change the name of the child.

In the next scene the boy has grown up. An army officer asks the name of the newly joined boy. Then the boy calls Sam and forgets the last name. Then the other boy tells the name of his officer as Sam Bahadur. This name was written in the history of the Indian Army.

The film throws light on many aspects of Sam Bahadur’s life. Sometimes the happy moments of his life are shown and sometimes he is shown facing difficult situations. Sam’s struggle to manage his time in the Indian Army and manage his personal life has been accurately portrayed by the director in the film.

Meghna brings Sam Manekshaw to life with her directorial skills, but apart from him, she becomes weak in portraying other historical characters. Some scenes in the film make it clear why Sam Manekshaw was different and the best among others.

Vicky Kaushal has played the role of Sam Manekshaw in the film. Vicky’s performance is worth watching. After ‘Sardar Udham’, ‘Raazi’ and ‘Masaan’, Vicky’s film Sam Bahadur is in the headlines.

In the film, Vicky imitates Sam’s way of walking and talking very well. Actress Sanya Malhotra plays the role of Sam Manekshaw’s wife. Her role creates an emotional track in the film.

Also, the character of Indira Gandhi has been played by actress Fatima Sana Shaikh. Her performance is worth watching.

On the other hand, the actor playing the character of Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub has a strange make-up which seems to be the downfall of the film.

The songs and background music of the film seem a bit dull. Because the audience had high expectations from Shankar-Ehsaan Loy. They gave their best performance in Raazi with Meghna Gulzar. Actual footage has been used at many places in the film.

At some places the film seems to be progressing. At some places it starts getting boring. You can watch this film with your family. The film will not disappoint you.

At some places the audience laughs while watching the film and at some places the country feels proud. If you want to know about the history of the Indian Army then watching the movie ‘Sam Bahadur’ is the right choice.
