In this
post, too, I am writing about two movies that I loved watching and belong to
the great movies list: Udaan (2010) and Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019).
While
Udaan is a coming-of-age kind of movie, Uri is an action film based on true
events. Both films are different and yet unique in their own way.
Udaan
We all
know how dominating and controlling Indian parents, especially fathers, can be.
But some are so dominating and hot-tempered that life becomes hell for the kids
as the amount of physical and verbal abuse takes a mental toll on them.
Udaan is a
story of such dominating father and his two sons. We always blame upbringing
for any kind of abuse or bad habits a person has but then how come one sibling
Bhairav Singh is alcoholic, abusive, and dominating while his younger brother
Jimmy is completely opposite. This film is about Rohan, the elder son of
Bhairav, and his struggle.
I loved
the picturization, the acting, and the actors; in other words, it’s a good
watchable movie with loads to understand and tell.
Uri
Uri, on
the other hand is an action film based on true events. I can’t write much about
it because one blog post won’t be sufficient for it. Whenever I watch movies or
web series based on intelligence officers, the army or such, my heart swells
with pride in their brave heartedness while my eyes cry on their
sacrifice.
Plus, the
music of the film is awesome. Hats off to Sashwat Sachdev, for creating such a
piece of brilliant music.
What’s your take on both the movies? Please do let me know.

Yet to watch both and i have read good reviews about them
ReplyDeleteBoth these movies sound interesting. I think I will watch them. Thank you for recommending these.
ReplyDeleteBoth movies are commendable! Udaan is honestly a gem, I wonder why the boy didn't make more appearances! Uri felt a little commercialized to me, but good strong performances and well directed! And yes you're right about the goosebumps - I call those patriotic goosebumps :)
