Edward Porter The Times (UK) 08/24/2022
2/5
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. Go to Full Review

3/5
Never dull for a second of its ample running time – even if some viewers may find the sentimentality a little hard to digest. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

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

Stephen 06/15/2022 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. See more Deborah W 06/13/2022 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. See more Hima L 06/10/2022 Brilliant movie! must watch :) See more kiran 06/08/2022 Very good movie. Worth to watch. See more Raghav Banda 06/06/2022 Must watch Movie! Real hero’s bio pic!
