\nThere is something irrefutably comforting about a biopic, especially if it chronicles the life of a true hero. And I do want to stress, true hero. In recent years, we\u2019ve had too many Bollywood biopics on gangsters and politicians and gangster-politicians. Shershaah honours a man who gave up his life at the age of 24 for his country. Sure, we honoured Vikram Batra with Param Vir Chakra. But ask his family, if the medal comforts them when they remember Vikram every single day. To his credit, Sidharth Malhotra plays Vikram Batra with a sincerity and honesty that shine through in every frame. In every frame, he is Rajesh Khanna in Anand and Aradhana. You know he is going to be missed sorely once he\u2019s gone.<\/p>\nMalhotra plays Batra to an unforgettable perfection. Boyish, helpful, sincere and endearing\u2026 There is not a duplicitous bone in this soldier and lover-boy. The film allows the protagonist to fly freely. Director Vishnuvardhan\u2019s storytelling is remarkably liberated of gimmicks. If you are looking for unexpected twists and turns in a soldier\u2019s saga, then I suggest you watch The Deer Hunter ,or maybe Abbas-Mastan\u2019s Soldier? Kitsch is not in demand in Shershaah. A Sreekar Prasad\u2019s editing and Kamaljeet Negi\u2019s cinematography are unobtrusive. They know who the true hero is this time. Shershaah plays it straight. It has no room for or patience with humbug except for a few love songs. And they, the songs, fit in effectively without seeming like impositions because, well, Vikram strikes me as the kind of guy who would burst into a throaty Punjabi number to woo his ladylove.<\/p>\n
