December 1st marked the release of two highly anticipated films, ‘Animal’ starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, and ‘Sam Bahadur’ starring Vicky Kaushal and Sanya Malhotra. Both movies have received significant praise from audiences and critics alike. While ‘Animal’ has surpassed ‘Sam Bahadur’ in terms of box office earnings, opening at Rs 63.8 crores compared to ‘Sam Bahadur’s’ initial Rs 5.50 crores, the latter has achieved a unique milestone in a different aspect – its IMDb rating.
Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Sam Bahadur’ has secured the highest IMDb rating among the trio, with an impressive rating of 8.3 out of 10. This rating surpasses ‘Animal,’ which received an 8 out of 10 rating, and ‘Jawaan,’ which received a rating of 7.1 out of 10. Vicky Kaushal’s film has emerged as the leader on the IMDb rating scale, overshadowing both Ranbir and Shah Rukh’s offerings.
‘Sam Bahadur’ narrates the life story of India’s first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw, with Vicky Kaushal portraying the titular role. Sanya Malhotra essays the character of his girlfriend, while Fatima Sana Sheikh portrays the role of the country’s former Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. The film delves into the life and journey of this real-life hero, bringing to the screen an inspiring narrative.
Despite ‘Sam Bahadur’ not surpassing ‘Animal’ in terms of box office earnings, it has managed to captivate audiences with its compelling storyline and powerful performances. The film’s success lies in its ability to resonate with viewers on a deeper level, transcending mere commercial success.
One of the factors contributing to ‘Sam Bahadur’s’ strong IMDb rating is undoubtedly the exceptional performances by the cast. Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Sam Manekshaw has been hailed as one of his finest performances to date. His ability to embody the essence of the legendary Field Marshal has garnered praise from both critics and audiences.
Sanya Malhotra’s portrayal of Sam Manekshaw’s girlfriend adds depth and emotional resonance to the film. Her chemistry with Vicky Kaushal on-screen has been lauded for its authenticity and believability. Fatima Sana Sheikh’s portrayal of Indira Gandhi showcases her versatility as an actress, capturing the essence of the former Prime Minister with finesse.
Another aspect that sets ‘Sam Bahadur’ apart is its meticulous attention to detail. The film’s production design, costumes, and cinematography transport viewers to the era in which Sam Manekshaw lived. The authenticity and accuracy of the film’s visuals contribute to its immersive experience, allowing audiences to truly connect with the story.
Furthermore, the direction by Meghna Gulzar deserves commendation. Her ability to bring out the best in her actors and to weave a compelling narrative is evident throughout the film. Gulzar’s directorial prowess shines through in ‘Sam Bahadur,’ solidifying her position as one of the industry’s most talented directors.
Ultimately, ‘Sam Bahadur’ may not have surpassed ‘Animal’ in terms of box office earnings, but it has left an indelible mark on audiences and critics alike. Its exceptional IMDb rating is a testament to its quality and the impact it has had on viewers. Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Sam Manekshaw, along with the strong performances by the entire cast, the attention to detail, and Meghna Gulzar’s direction, have all contributed to making ‘Sam Bahadur’ a memorable and highly acclaimed film.
