Honestly, I found the patriotism a bit too in-your-face. Felt like checking boxes. Good performances, yes, especially Akshaye Khanna. But the story could have been tighter. Respectfully disagree with Shilpa ji on it being *the most* patriotic.

FA9LA song is a banger! Been looping it since the movie. Akshaye Khanna's entry is iconic. Glad Bollywood is making these kinds of films again. Aditya Dhar is a gem.

Patriotism done right, without being jingoistic. Madhavan sir was the soul of the film. After URI, Aditya Dhar proves he understands the pulse of the nation. More power to such cinema!
