I thought this could be a usual Bollywood patriotic movie and it feels the same in beginning but it paces up and gives us a good glimpse of the life and sacrifices of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.
Story : The story begins from his childhood scenes which shows us that his father is from Navy and so he to wants to be the same and it also portrays his courage. Then we get to know his college and love life which feels like a regular Bollywood romantic movie but the story gets interesting when he gets into the NSG where he works hard and trains himself to be one of the best and this is what makes him a Major. Then the story focuses on the Taj attacks and let's us know what a great contribution and sacrifice is given to this country by Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.
Performances : I found the performance of the lead actor Adivi Shesh weak in the beginning (as a collage boy) don't know exactly why but from the time he gets into NSG it felt ok and while coming to the end, great. All the supporting cast has given nice performences especially Prakash Raj.
My verdict : Major is a great biopic and a good way to telling us the story of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, his personal life, sacrifices of his family and himself.. The pace of the movie is good, it doesn't feels slow. The action is good. There are little special effects which don't feel bad and we get a good patriotic movie in the end.
