It may look like a remake of a few good men but its an earnest effort...wished the maker had carried out more research and also padded it up more commercially a must watch performances of the entire cast is top notch with Rahul Bose again displaying enough to prove his versatilely.... Minissa Lamba does not look like a journalist by any distance.... some of the story seems to be wanting in content and adaptation..... Court Martial scenes seem more from the US Army set up... Javed Jaffery and Kay Kay are outstanding as ever.... It would have been better if there were some more lighter moments ... scenes like the search in the village are very authentic and are tense... ......

Shaurya is a movie that illustrates the true meaning and value of gallantry. For decades, whether or not the government is a reliable or not, the public has always had full faith in our soldiers. Stories of valiant soldiers, the bravery needed to fight at the battlefield, the heroic sacrifices they make, and the honorable virtues of honesty, loyalty, and commitment to duty are legacies generations long that make an armed forces and a country proud. However, what is one to make of one soldier shooting a comrade? How can a dedicated soldier attack one of his own? The first answer that comes into the mind, and also the one that most would like to hear, is that the soldier is not one but a terrorist.As India liberalizes, Shaurya dares to question some of the actions going on in a group that India has always trusted by and large--the army. While quite a few movies have attempted to venture into this theme, they by no means compare to Shaurya.Everything about this movie is fantastic. Two things that stand out the most are the character development and the performances. Each role and dialog is so well-written and thought out. It is not a simple case of good vs. evil, or following the new trend of "gray shade characters", but rather a believable glimpse at reality. There are some brilliant scenes that further enhance the characters. With such meaty and intense roles, all the actors gave marvelous performances right from Rahul Bose (one of his best) to Javed Jaffari. The surprise package was K.K. who was mind-blowing at the climax.

I think if you go with a "it's a copy" frame of mind, there is no way you can be fair to the movie. To me, I haven't seen a movie as strong as this one in a while. Last one was Taare Zamee Par and may be Maine Gandhi ko Nahi Maara.The coldness on KK (Brigadier's) face was outstanding. His dialog about "how a cup of coffee is made" and "pigs sweat men perspire" showed how great of an actor he is and how underestimated. I liked Minissha for whatever role she was given. I have been gaga over her since "Yahaan", which was another great movie.It is always a treat to watch such movies out of all the junk that bollywood throws out. I agree that the starting of the movie could have done without the Bar song, but by the time the movie ends, you're left wondering. For me, Kay Kay stole the show, where as Rahul Bose again proves his caliber that he showed in "Mr and Mrs Iyer". Go watch this!

a movie which could have been much better on the rating scale. the movie starts off slowly and picks up the tempo in the second half. amazing performance by kay kay menon. he steals the show. he proves that being junior in the industry to rahul bose doesn't matter, but better and different acting style matters a lot. rahul bose is up to his usual style which attracts many. minisha lamba is wasted in the movie. many people were left wondering after the movie, why was she in the movie. certain mistakes in army laws and many 'logic' errors in the movie. the movie also talks abt the personal life of an army officer who has been enjoying his life till now. but now he one life to save. overall a nice movie to watch.
