The dialogues are intense and just observe the way Kay Kay explodes in that scene.
The court room sequence which has Rahul Bose questioning Kay Kay is just splendid. The film really catches on towards the last 15mins or so. The look of the film is sleek with the militia essence being expressed in every aspect of the film be it the tidy uniforms, the court room, the body language of each and every character etc. No doubt Samar has carefully crafted the characters and most of all, their setting. The first half of the film really doesn't have much to offer and the script tends to get loose. Shaurya has its moments but the buildup of the plot tends to get a little dragging. A lot of comparisons have been drawn to Rob Reiner's `A few good men' starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson with Rahul Bose essaying Tom Cruise and Kay Kay, Jack Nicholson's character.ĭirector Samar Khan no doubt outsmarts his previous piece of work. The film is centered upon a court martial and the silence of the accused. It isn't an LOC or Border kind of film with bloodshed and all the works. To start off with, Shaurya isn't a jingoistic film. Why is the Brigadier against Javed? Will Javed's silence speak up? Meanwhile, journalist Kaavya Shastri (Minisha Lamba) is out there to unveil the truth. The Brigadier is questioned about his operations and techniques of functioning.
Things start getting a little sour between the friends when Major Siddhanth Chaudhary who is appointed to defend Javed, stuns his friend Major Aakash Kapoor who is the prosecuting lawyer by drawing Brigadier Pratap to court. Siddhanth Chaudhary (Rahul Bose) and Major Aakash Kapoor (Jaaved Jaffery) are best friends with conflicting views on the case. And even though the case appears to be an `open and shut' one with the army just following proceedings of the Court Martial with a Defense and a Prosecution lawyer appointed, Javed refuses to speak. He is also charged with mutiny and treason.
The film talks about Captain Javed Khan (Deepak Dobriyal) who is charged with killing his superior. This time Samar explores the very essence of bravery in a film that deals primarily with the army and its court martial procedure. Watching the movie with Army folk.Former journalist turned director Samar Khan returns to direction after the collapse of Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye. You've seen AFGM and you know how things will end. *What's not The pangs of boredom you feel. A believable and realistic plot and some good court sequences. Breathtaking! Good controlled acting and decent dialogues. The plot is reasonably tight but tends to bore you in bits. Rahul Bose, plays Tom Cruise (who played Jerry McGuire in AFGM) in a controlled fashion and brings his own personality into the character of an Army Lawyer. You would almost believe its supposed "inspired tag" Shaurya is different and watchable because for most parts, it retains the flow, feel and texture of A Few Good Men with the Indian confused state of existence in Kashmir as the backdrop. Given that a large majority of our cinema, the songs and perhaps even the dialogue is rehashed from dated Hollywood, Tollywood and whatever wood European, Chinese and Korean cinema comes from, its astounding how Indian each remake looks. Bollywood has an uncanny ability to Indianize the remake.
