Indian army special forces carries a covert operation
avenging the killing of fellow army men at their base by a terrorist group. 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.If I have to say in one word then it'd be MASTERPIECE. It can very well be a classic...a cult classic like Border. This movie doesn't portray blatant Jingoism but strikes the right chords of patriotism with maintaining the right balance. It is so well done that you'd crave for more even if it ends. Everyone performed very well and Vicky Kaushal was stunning. The movie is very inspiring and everyone especially the young generation should watch it to know what the army men do for them. The movie is not political at all but yellow media will try to demean it for 'certain' reasons. I still can't get over the top notch screenplay, direction, background scores, visuals and performances.
Watched a wartime movie after
long time but I must say this one was the best I saw till date. This movie has
a no nonsense plot which is entirely focused on the operation that was
conducted for URI. The best part of this movie was there was no unnecessary
romantic scene. Another best part of this movie was there was no unnecessary
talks, cuss words to show the army's behavior, unlike other movies in past
where half of the time is use to convince the audience why the operations are
necessary. This is a must watch movie for everyone.
This movie will surely make your blood boil.
The training, the way Army had to prepare for this mission, the return after
accomplishing the mission, all was shown in detail. The direction is flawless
and crisp. The background score gives goosebumps. I saw it 4 times already. Will
watch it at least once more. Of all the movies I have seen this will surely be
in my top 5 list. The direction and cinematography gives an impression of a war
movie made in Hollywood. Doesn't feel at any point like a lackluster Bollywood
movie. Also reminds me of "13 Hours Secret Soldiers of Benghazi".
