2016 it was,
when a man traveled 1500 kms to Mumbai from National Capital. All he carried
was an idea in his mind and dreams in his heart... Little did he or for that
matter 1.3 billion Indians knew 18th September 2016 was going to be a
final nail in the coffin.
It was
Director of the film Uri: The Sugical
Strike Aditya Dhar who was about to make his first film in 2016
with Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and just before the film was about to hit the
floor there came one of the most gruesome attack from the terrorist exported by
Pakistan.
The entire
nation was in shock. And as usual first response from government was no less
than that of an impotent man. Ban all actors, ban all singer, no cricketing
ties no more talks.
One who had
voted Modi in 2014 for his tit-for-tat philosophy were in utmost disbelief. Was
Modi another Manmohan was a question many had asked!
Well, fast-forward
and came morning of 29th September 2016. India announced that it
conducted Surgical Strike.
It was a
mission which had to be shown someday in a film and it was the same director
who eventually came up with this wonderful debut film!!!
I have been
a great follower of Bond series and then War films the favorites!!.
Some of my favorite War films over the years
have been Prahar, Border and Furry... But,
Uri: The Surgical strike is not just a film, it
is an EMOTION!!!
It brings
you to tears, it makes you smile, it
makes us applaud but, most importantly
while leaving 70mm screen – You Thank God for having Indian Army who keeps us safe all the time..
Hats off to
the debutant director and...
MUCH THANKS
TO INDIAN ARMY!!! WITHOUT YOU WE ARE NOTHING!!!
