National Award for Sam Bahadur is fitting recognition. Field Marshal Manekshaw's legacy deserved this quality tribute. Meghna Gulzar's direction was brilliant throughout.

While Vicky's performance was excellent, I felt the film could have delved deeper into some historical aspects. Still, a worthy winner for promoting national values.
