INDIA: The biographical drama is based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. He wa an Indian Army officer who served in the National Security Guards’ 51 Special Action Group. In the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, he was martyred in action by fearlessly eliminating all four terrorists.
Ensemble Cast:
The film has Adivi Sesh as Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Prakash Raj as K. Unnikrishnan, Revathi as Dhanalakshmi Unnikrishnan and Saiee Manjrekar as Isha Agarwal.
Sesh’s writing capabilities speak up the volume, spotlighting much of his prior work that excels in every way. His desire to pay homage to Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan manifests itself in the spectacular features of the film. Paired with Sash Kiran’s direction, Sesh’s vision results in an extraordinarily accurate biographical adaptation.
Every individual establishes a fundamental tone on the screen, portraying the ideal feelings that amp up the events. Prakash Raj and Revathi, provide perfection to every level, from extreme amusement to emotional portrayal. Both feature high-octane emotional situations that culminate in Prakash’s speech, which appears to be a straight-from-the-heart performance.
Adivi Sesh as Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan gives his best performance. Saiee Manjrekar also contributes the high tones with her on-screen presence, where her presence enhances the first half, and she also adds more to the biopic in terms of character.
Vamsi Patchipulusu’s cinematography raises the bar by being basic and straightforward while still working in accordance with each character’s point of view. The slightly shakier camera angles in key shots add to the suspense beautifully. The second half focuses mainly on the tense scenario, with camera angles and well-choreographed action sequences serving as the highlighting aspect.
Sricharan Pakala’s BGM is a king in every word, carrying the entire story on its shoulders. The background score, which helps to enhance every scene, is one thing that sticks with you long after the climax.
The predictability of the film spoils the cinematic experience.
Verdict:
The film pays tribute to Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. It a must-watch for every Indian.
Transcontinental Times rating: 3.9/5
