Uri: The Surgical Strike deserves its box office success, but isn’t a memorable military film

Firstpost  

The true victory of Uri: The Surgical Strike lies in the fact that it has found its way into pop culture parlance rather effortlessly Bollywood doesn’t do war movies well. Then, when Vicky Kaushal’s Major Vihaan Shergill makes a promise to his superior officer that he would bring back every single one of his men back from the operation unharmed, it sounds like a Hindi film hero speaking, not a soldier; because in the real world, before a complex military operation, can anyone ever make such a promise? Even Amrit Sagar’s 1971, the thoroughly underrated 2007 film set a few years after the India-Pakistan war in ‘71 over the liberation of Bangladesh, genuinely packed multiple layers about the horrors of military action. Uri may be one of Bollywood’s better war dramas to date, but it can still hardly be even compared to such works as Apocalypse Now, or even Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, which remains a film unparalleled in visual and narrative technique, no matter how far back we look in the annals of film history.
