Touching Tribute to Major Sandeep!
man_utd-813034 June 2022
Very touching tribute to courage shown by Major Sandeep and the movie also tries to depict the sacrifice a soldier has to make .

It's a very tough choice and a job which doesn't get deserving respect from common public. Rest In Peace Major and thanks you for your service.

A definite movie for cinemas.

Worth watching
isshamanchanda3 June 2022
Thanks to GMB Entertainment for bringing this Film to the audience.

Just came out of the theatre with a heavy heart and cud not stop my self to write. As if someone in my family died saving people in the taj hotel saving hostages. We'll get connected to Major Unnikrishnan very well. Good job by Director Mr. Kiranraj.

Kudos.

Pathetic writing
anish-0731915 August 2022
The first half is slow and chessy. The second half starts well but becomes preachy in between action scenes. The writing let's the movie down otherwise what could have been an engaging action flick.

#Major A mustwatch film which fittingly glorifies Major #SandeepUnnikrishnan's bravery, valour & selfless sacrifice for our nation during the gory 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. This superbly made film will surely leave us with a heavy heart. Patriot @AdiviSesh is supreme👍

Really?
tvd-3687810 August 2022
This movie got 8.2?? Really? Must be lots of chauvinistic people voting that high! It is less more than a romanticized, naive biopic. Definitely max. (!) 6.

Movies like these are very important to honour the lives of our brave soldiers and pay tribute to them. Their efforts are not going unnoticed. Heroic movie with legendary direction and music.

Ending portrayed well
deepuwithpapu5 June 2022
While the 1st half is lagging a little on acting on emotion, 2nd half covers everything. There are opportunities in expression where the background actors had no expression in few scene while anyone in that situation would be alert. Apart from acting direction is very well done. As usual Adavi Shesh would never disappoint fans with his role and acting. Worth the watch. Rating 7 coz of lacking in acting in few instances and could've done a lot better.

Bland and dramatic
k-kalyan7 July 2022
I feel this movie has lowered the status of Indian Army. Shows that army men are emotional, non-rational, defy orders, do not obey their rules or seniors and change rules as they fancy... A nice story dramatised to insult the real events...

Beautiful story
nithallakumar3 June 2022
Director Shashi kiran brought out the best out of the cast and it felt like we are there in real time, so many emotions in a single movie. Amazing work. Heroic works by the direction team and whole production company.

A heavily commercialized version !
Biswas_3 June 2022
In order to make the film presentable to the masses, the makers have opted for a very commercialized version of Major Sandeep's biopic. The creative liberties come into picture during the main part of the film, that is, the 26/11 part and it is understandable because as i said, masses will enjoy it.

The first 30-40 mins i would recommend you skip. It was boring and the school sequences between Sandeep and his gf was kinda boring to watch. In fact, the love angle is the most bollywoodish thing in this film , a typical cliche love story. Hence it did not click for me.

Now coming to the main part, the last 1 hr 20 mins of this film is a treat for commercialized action lovers. They have maintained a balance between realistic and rather commercialized unrealistic sequences. This last 1 hr or so held on to my attention right till the last second of this film. It was that interesting and gripping!

The last part made me really emotional. His parents , unsure about what Sandeep's condition is, suddenly finding their son on tv being shown martyred was really painful and emotional for me to watch. Don't miss these parts.

Other than that, there are certain fictionalized sequences that are far from realistic like some of Sandeep's acrobatics (mind you , as i said, it is done to make the film presentable to masses) or the terrorists being shown arriving at daytime while actually they arrived in the evening in dark time. Of course, by now we have seen so many 26/11 based films and sequences and all present that day in their own way.

The media angle is presented in a sarcastic way here with little fiction. We all know how terrorists were using the idiotic media to track commandos but here Watch out for a fictional sequence where Sandeep would turn the tables and use the media to wreck the terrorists instead. That was like an "ooooooooo" moment. In fact there is one hilarious sarcastic sequence where a media guy covering Nariman Point would see the commandos getting killed and says on live news "I can't understand how the terrorists are able to figure out that commandos are coming " as he keeps covering them live. It was sarcastic.

Songs , not one to remember. Performance by Adivi Shesh is terrific. He looks just young enough to represent Major Sandeep. He excels in the last 1 hr. Saiee Manj is average as she carries her one expression throughout the film. Prakash Raj too does a good job .

Overall, must watch! Full on entertainment guaranteed . If you miss the first 30 mins also due to some delay to reach theatre, then nothing to worry you haven't missed anything .

who is a soldier?
beevenkat5 June 2022
There could be three probable answers to the question: who is a soldier? (1) one who adores the uniform? (2) one who fights evil? (3) one who shields himself and others? Adivi Sesh tries to find the correct answer by playing #SandeepUnnikrishnan in #Major. Right from his childhood, he proves that he is capable of sheltering anyone who is assaulted. But this film isn't only about the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. It is more about a man who is a good son, a faithful companion and a plucky combatant. Performances are excellent. Running time needs to be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 3/5.

A good Biopic 👍
surajkailase6 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
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.

A mixture of crisp action and delightful storytelling! [+70%]
arungeorge133 July 2022
If Hotel Mumbai took us through the Taj Hotel terrorist attack from the perspective of the survivors, Major focuses purely on the journey of Sandeep Unnikrishnan and his heroics in said tragic incident. The film scores majorly in its action blocks, with the visual crispness and performances both contributing immensely. The family and romance portions work to an extent, because the former is spearheaded by the very homely duo of Prakash Raj and Revathi while the latter features a relatively new face in Saiee Manjrekar. Adivi Sesh is undoubtedly on a roll, where his presence is a subtle indicator of quality cinema. He embodies every bit of a soldier in almost flawless fashion, while also remaining fairly adorable in the dramatic scenes.

Also, one thing I loved about Major is that it doesn't conveniently stuff patriotism into scenes just to further intensify them. Of course, the cinematic liberties are aplenty, but Major manages to get your adrenaline pumping in the set-pieces and leave you teary-eyed in the climactic stretch.

"Based" on true story Lots of factual inaccuracies
harish-553054 June 2022
This movie is based on a real soldier. They should have shown some reality.

The action director has made a mockery of NSG. Commando jumping around like a superhero, firing more bullets from a pistol without reloading than any real pistol could hold in a single magazine. This along with a lot of emotional drama to tocuh the sentiments of the audience.

They should have made a fictional movie instead of blatantly using real names and having factual inaccuracies at the same time. Turned a soldier's heroic story into a dramatic piece of garbage. Only thing missing was an item song. Shame on such scriptwriters.
