the subject matter be good and direction be ok. mohanlal be efficient in his role a a major . the acting of the support actor be amateurish at best . the cast director and director should be hold responsible for this debacle . hawaldar jai be terrible and he stand out like a sore thumb with his poor histrionics . he do not look the part nor do he move like a soldier . there be a scene where a satellite feed be require of the skirmish with the militant and they be show it from a camera angle . satellite be locate hundred of mile in the sky so the only angle be from above . it be quite an embarrassing moment . audience these day be mature and they recognize when one be try to pull wool over their eye . the director be a major so the story could be out of his personal experience . no problem there and but the movie be only as good a it actor and director . so if major ravi be go for any other project he should pay more attention to the casting .
