While Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal has garnered widespread appreciation, the film, as a whole, has been met with mixed reviews. The dichotomy emerges particularly when assessing Sam Bahadur as a biopic. Some viewers express that the film falls short of being a definitive portrayal of General Sam Manekshaw’s life. One user took to social media, stating, “Vicky Kaushal’s performance as the nation’s great hero, General Sam Manekshaw, was inspiring, but the film was not a worthy biopic. Good movie but not a good biopic. #SamBahadur.”
Watched much awaited #SamBahadur at a special screening. Vicky Kaushal is exceptional in depicting the legendary Field Marshal. Narrating Sam Bahadur’s life on big screen was important. The film however wasn’t as powerful or impactful as I was expecting. Too much cluttered.
