Brilliantly detailed performance Vicky Kaushal. Two very nuanced portrayals: Sana
Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra. Everything you wanted to know about Sam Manekshaw,
here it is.”
Abhishek Bachchan shared his review on X,
“Saw Sam Bahadur last night. The enormity of all that Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw
did and achieved is overwhelming! And, so beautifully told on celluloid by my
favourite Meghna Gulzar. It’s a huge responsibility to portray one of India’s
greatest sons and she does it wonderfully. To the entire cast and crew, you
should be very proud and thank you for telling this story. Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra,
my veerey, Vicky Kaushal, what do I even say about you… you continue to set
the bar so high for all of us and then so effortlessly jump over it as only Sam
can. All I can say is: Well done, sweety!!!.”
Sanya Malhotra, who is seen as Sam
Manekshaw’s wife Siloo Manekshaw, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, who portrays Bharat’s
former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, are being praised for their roles.
Meghna Gulzar’s direction has been
appreciated. She has previously made Raazi, Talvar, Chhapak, Just Married and
