Sam Bahadur: A Film That Inspires You For Lifetime And Fills You With Patriotism
News 18Our stories drive our heritage. The film doesn’t weave properly all the incidents in the life of Sam Manekshaw in the form of a well-knit story but passes on from one incident to another, sometimes rather superficially. The film establishes the friendship between Sam Manekshaw and Yahya Khan but doesn’t showcase the rivalry between the two during the 1971 war. The scene just after partition showcases Yahya Khan raising a toast saying ‘Army ki Jai’ hinting at a feeling of separatism in him, to which Sam Manekshaw says ‘Indian Army ki Jai’ highlighting his undaunted patriotism and love for the nation. Thus, the film ‘Sam Bahadur’ wonderfully captures the courage, wit, family, soldier life, military genius and decision-making of Sam Manekshaw.
