Animal And Sam Bahadur Movie review, which one is good to watch ?

Two movies have been released this week, both are opposite to each other,  genres are different .

Now let’s talk about the movies which have been released and which are being discussed in full swing.

Animal :

The first movie is Animal and the second movie is Sam Manekshaw.

So talking about the first movie Animal, Animal is a movie full of action and thrill, a story which portrays how a son undergoes a remarkable transformation as the bond with his father begins to fracture, and he becomes consumed by a quest for vengeance. , the movie Animal, starring Bollywood and Tollywood actors, is very much in the headlines, Ranveer Kapoor has given a strong performance,

Animal is a Hindi-language action thriller film written, edited and directed by Sandeep Reddy and produced by T-Series, Bhadrakali Pictures and Cine1 Studios. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Trupti Dimri. Animal is releasing on 1 December 2023 dubbed in Hindi as well as in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada languages. The total duration of the film will be 201 minutes, making it one of the longest Indian films.

The IMDb rating of the film is 7.8 and google rating is 3.9 which is not considered very good but a lot of craze for this film can be seen in Hindi-speaking states.
According to critics, violence has been promoted in this film and scenes from South Indian films have been copied.

Fans  also heaped great praise for Ranvir and all the action pact scenes  in Animal

A Fan Wrote – this is one movie that leaves you speechless and spellbound! Sandeep Reddy Vanga brilliantly blends all the elements of a mass movie and makes it look like a cult classic! The movie is full of electrifying and explosive scenes that give you such an adrenaline high that you won’t mind sitting through some stretched-out scenes that seem necessary to make us soak in the impact. The BGM is as much the hero of the movie as much as Ranbir’s character is, the BGM builds up the excitement, captivates you and keeps up the intensity throughout the movie. I would recommend watching this in IMAX for an enthralling experience. I always thought no one could come close to how Yash oozes power and charisma in KGF but Ranbir outshines all superstars in this role by showcasing different looks from youth to old age with such perfection, once again showing what a phenomenal actor he is. While there are superstars who can make a movie work just from looks, dialogues and style, Ranbir is an acting powerhouse and in the scenes he is in, you just cannot take your eyes off him. This is one of the few movies you can watch more than once as there is so much to absorb in almost every scene, you end up missing some aspects! My eyes fixated on Ranbir – totally smitten with the way he emotes just with his eyes, the perfection in his overall look at different stages of life, his natural subtle dialogue delivery and my ears on music, will need one or two times more to process other aspects! I will refrain from talking on the storyline in detail as somethings didn’t make sense to the practical me, mainly the reason for the heights of unconditional blind love the son feels despite the father hardly being there or appreciating the son. I guess that’s how it is for most of us, though it’s usually the mother who shows so much love and care, the bond we feel for fathers is unmatchable and they will always be our heroes no matter what.. If not for anything, this movie is a must watch to understand the importance of a father figure in life – how their absence or presence can shape the mindset of a child and gives rise to certain behavioural patterns.

Sam Bahadur :

Now  Its turn to second movie Sam Bahadur

Sam Bahadur is one of the best movie released on this week , Sam Bahadur is story of India’s first field marshal Sam Manek Shaw. Sam Manekshaw is one of the most decorated officers in the Indian army, serving for over four decades and fighting in five wars. He is the first army officer to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal.

 Meghna Gulzar’s “ SAMबहादुर”- biopic of Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw . cheering Vicky and Meghana Gulzar Covering 40 years of glorious career of General Sam Manekshaw , known for his bravery, benevolence and outspoken wit & sense of humour without any dull moment was most challenging and Meghana ( Boski) Gulzar,(whose “ Raazi” , “ Talwar” and “ Filhaal”  came out with flying colours. The film portrays vital chapters of the unusual and exceptional military leader of post independence India -SFJ Manekshaw, named “ Sam Bahadur ” by a Gurkha regiment guard in an innocent moment and embraced by him lovingly. The film without going in deeper details and mostly in episodic manner , covers his early days in IMA, Dehradun and his bonhomie with Yahya khan, 5 wars-Second world war in Burma, 1948 Kashmir Aggression of Pakistani tribals backed by Army 1962 Indo China war and 1965 Pakistan war & Bangladesh creation in 1971 War with Pakistan. The script by Meghana, Shantanu Srivastava and Bhavani Iyer is well researched , fast paced and numerous in places Vicky Kaushal is the shining star of this film. Like Sardar Udham, he plays Sam Manekshaw to the perfection. He has brought his unique persona alive with his mannerisms, his walking hunch, his British style speaking and typical Gentleman soldier was a treat to watch. Sanyal Malhotra as his wife Salloo Manekshaw was epitome of grace and beauty.

IMDb rating of the Movie Sam Bahadur is 8.2 and google has given 4.6 out of 5  which is top at rating .

Fans rated Sam Bahadur at better space. critics also praised this movie specially Vicky Kaushal appearance nad depiction of roles , he did total justice with the role he played  ,Meghna Gulzar has her own point of view to elaborate the story and same she did with Sam Bahadur , so over all both movies are good but i will rate Sam Bahadur over to Animal.

A Fan Wrote –

Very slickly made movie, pretty evident that a lot of research has gone into its making, intricate details like medal ribbons too have been taken care of, including the sequence of seniority, language, ambience, etc. Very few oversights noticed, like the trucks shown during the move towards the Sittang Bridge (British/Indian forces using Bedford/ Vaxhaul trucks rather than the American (Ford/Chevrolet) trucks shown, the pith hats worn by the two officers were worn backside front (the shorter peak is worn frontside), para wings worn on the chest (Prior to 1976, the wing was worn on the right upper arm). But these can be overlooked and termed symbolic. Kudos to Meghna Gulzar and Ronnie Screwwala for a splendid job done, and Vicky Kaushal doing justice to the role. Am sure he must be under a lot of stress with the kind of responsibility he had on his shoulders. The movie was special for me as a few scenes were very personal, as my maternal grandfather was also part of the action at Sittang bridge, and my father was posted as a major at HQ Eastern Comd when Sam was the Army Cdr at Calcutta, and lastly, he was part of 50 Para Bde during the Bangladesh War 1971, Tangail drop, the airborne operation shown in the movie.
