    Valiant and Top Quality
    I new nothing about Captain Vikram Batra and only the rudimentary history about the conflict he fought in prior to watching this film. The cinematography, acting, script, and plot kept me rooted to my spot, hoping against hope for a safe outcome for the hero of this story.

    What I loved about this tale is the way they portrayed this soldier, Vikram Batra; a man who chose to live life in the moment with an extreme amount of courage - whether it was confronting a young women with his feelings, marrying her on the spot during and R&R, standing up for himself against neighborhood bullies, or giving all the life he had during battle. Every stereotype I've not realized I've maintained in my head about soldiers was uprooted and broken (the rules-oriented to a tee, flat affect, withholding emotions, and etc. Type of stereotype).

    Turns out true courage comes from not wasting a moment of life, making friends with all you deem worthy, spending time to care about acquaintances, taking simple and pure joy when life offers it, sharing that joy with others, and respecting oneself and other.

    This film has provided me with much food for thought and I will be looking into this moment in history further.

    A good watch!
    I had been avoiding this movie because it was more than two hours long but I am glad I watched it!!!

    Siddhart Malhotra's best performance till date... He will melt your heart as a lover, too hot!!! As a soldier his barvey is commendable.

    Although Kaira Advani had a small role yet she acted well. All of them spoke Punjabi flawlessly which was quite cute =)

    The music is lovely and catchy. One would like to play it on loop, no unnecessary background effects.

    Would have given 10 full stars if the supporting cast would have shown the same energy.

    All in all this movie will make you cry, it will make you giddy, do watch!
