The movie is lethargically slow, it has no action, no drama, no romance, no thrill, nothing it's got. It has one item number which as hot as having a sizzling brownie one hour after it's served. Moving on to the performances of the actors...

In the end, however, Samar Khan has this to answer: what does it mean for a film called Shaurya, a film about true valour and the human spirit and a moral code, turning out to be yet another rip-off...

Shaurya's first half is clunky and dragging. There also isn't much attention to detail. The setting is Srinagar but there is very little trace of Kashmir in the ambience. You notice this less in the second half because the pace and drama pick up.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful Shaurya's characters become believable not because of the way they are etched and shaded-in but because of the dialogues each of them is given. Each character is strongly opinionated but very rarely does one choose to lecture the other or the audience.

Rahul Bose's metamorphosis from the fun-loving major to one pulled into the vortex of the case he is handling is exceptional. He shows maturity in both his phases. And to stand against the talent of Kay Kay Menon does take some doing.

The first half moves at a snail's space when Siddhant is struggling to cope up with the responsibility handed to him. But once he finds his bearings, the narrative gets riveting. The transformation that takes place in Siddhant through the course of the case is one of the high points of the film.

Considering Samar Khan's inspiration is the immensely powerful A Few Good Men, he already has a decent plot and screenplay going. However, it's the performances of the key players like Rahul Bose, Kay Kay Menon & especially Deepak Dobriyal as Captainn Jawed that succeed in uplifting this film. The dialogues are effective and so is the camerawork.

The direction by Samar Khan is superb and he has not let his grip on the narration slip. He is also successful in extracting top notch performances from his lead players. The narration is tight and never deviates from its original point.
