Edward Porter

The Times (UK)

For its celebration of a real-life military hero, this Indian film uses an action-movie style that makes even the Top Gun films look like wussy, pinko pacifist tracts.

Rated: 2/5

Never dull for a second of its ample running time – even if some viewers may find the sentimentality a little hard to digest.

Rated: 3/5

Major is in a perennial state of exaggeration. The sighs, the misty eyes, the mushy speeches, its details are invested in highlighting all things in-your-face.

Rated: 2.5/5

Major is far from being perfect. Nevertheless, it's an effective homage to the hero of 26/11.

All-in-all, Major is a fitting tribute to Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, a soldier who went beyond the call of duty to help his fellow countrymen in their time of need.

I thought I would really like it. But it was just very over the top if it is based o. true story as I read. Just very predictable setup dialogue. I think I would like the book if there is one.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Loved the movie and the storyline (based on true events). A little bit longer than it needed to be but just an overall excellent movie that I would highly recommend.
