Before I watched Shaurya I was warned by several people that it was a copy of a few good men, however I put that aside when watching the movie.
The story is centered around a court martial, where the defendant is being represented by Bhose. There is a gamut of other actors including Javed Jaffrey, Seema Biswas, KK Menon and Minissha Lamba, among others, all in supporting roles. While the movie unfolds in an interesting manner it is at a painfully slow pace.
A decent chunk of the first half is spent defining Bose's "too cool for school" and Jaffrey's "Mr. may I help you" characters and their inexplicable friendship. The Indian army is sufficiently "bollywoodised" with Bose getting a transfer to be with his friend, sleeping in till 1:00 and wearing incorrect uniforms.
The pace finally picks up in the second half of the film, with many unanswered questions being answered. Acting improves as the court martial takes center stage. Menon does not fail to impress, however Bose is simply annoying and Lamba an unnecessary addition.
Very few films such as this are churned out of Indian cinema. Although it is not top notch it is worth a watch.
