Review of Shaurya

Shaurya (2008)
6/10
Strong Story, Failed Narrative. ♦ 61%
29 August 2013
"A Few Good Men" is remade with thespians of Indian cinema. It lacks the cinema potential as the editing, cinematography & narration doesn't quite gel with the serious theme of the movie.

Talking about discrimination & court-martial, it takes its viewers to a glory trip inside the army court proceedings and everything related to it. This is very good, unless the makers try to Bollywood-ize the script with jolly songs, romance & unnecessary relationship stories.

Rahul Bose manages to bring humor in to his protagonist character, whereas Kay Kay Menon is more than a guest appearance. Jaaved Jaffrey & Amrita Rao are good, but I am upset with Minnisha Lamba. Supporting cast is fine. As the story gradually makes its point, the climax deviates from the original narrative and culminates into a hasty conclusion. Although, the implication is very easy to interpret, it gives the movie a sinking impression. 6.1/10.

BOTTOM LINE: Recommended due to its patriotic music & righteousness theme!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
