The film captures authentic wartime grit and features committed performances,
yet it remains constrained by a formulaic narrative that struggles to rise above conventional war drama tropes. The screenplay effectively portrays high‑altitude heroism through intense combat sequences and soldier camaraderie, building tension well in the climactic stand. Razneesh Ghai directs with a respectful tone that emphasizes sacrifice over spectacle, though the predictable buildup and absence of fresh emotional layers make the story feel familiar.
Farhan Akhtar shines as Major Shaitan Singh, embodying quiet authority, while the younger ensemble—particularly Sparsh Walia—conveys convincing brotherhood. Tetsuo Nagata’s breathtaking Ladakh visuals, Satish Raghunathan’s immersive battle sound design, Amit Trivedi’s stirring score, and the film’s historical accuracy together honor the real heroes with sincerity. Restrained patriotism and strong technical execution make it a fitting tribute.
However, a sluggish first half, underdeveloped supporting arcs, and melodramatic flourishes limit deeper resonance. Ultimately, it stands as a sincere, well‑crafted war memorial—respectable viewing for history enthusiasts, though not groundbreaking.

Bhatti, who was a fearless and brave officer. The film shows the war of Rezang La, how 120 soldiers
