Uri: The Surgical Strike Movie Review: Vicky Kaushals Sterling Performance Adds To The High Josh!
Debutant director Aditya Dhar needs to be patted on his back for his well-researched work before transferring his vision on the big screen. In reality, while India and Pakistan's version of this 'surgical strike' have always differed, the film-maker mixes fiction with the facts available in public domain to present a gripping narrative about this covert operation. Without resorting to forced patriotism, the emotions flow naturally in the film.
On the flip-side, the film-maker spends a little too much time in building up the drama to establish a personal connect with the characters in the first half of the film. This tends to slow down the pace of the narrative leaving you a bit dry as you eagerly wait for the action to begin.
Vicky Kaushal is in a terrific form as the man in uniform and proves yet again why he is one of the best from the current crop of Gen-X actors.
Mohit Raina (Mahadev-shiv) makes an impressive transition to the big screen and has a commendable screen presence.
Yami Gautam's character begins on an interesting note. However, Aditya Dhar fails to explore more sides to it....yami's role is dull..!!
Cinematography is neat and leaves you at the edge of your seats especially in the last 20 minutes of the film.
Stefan Richter's action sequences are top-notch and well-choreographed.
Every time, Vicky Kaushal's Vihaan screams, 'How's the Josh?' to his battalion of soldiers, you feel the adrenaline rush as you hear, 'Very high, Sir.'
Uri manages to make your heart swell with pride for the armed forces who are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the nation.
