Vicky Kaushal has been receiving huge praise for portraying the first Indian field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in a convincing manner. Apart from industry celebs, Sam Manekshaw's daughter Maja Daruwala said to the Indian Express that she moved to tears after watching the film. She said at the event, "They have made the film to make the country proud of whatever it was. But, the time that I tear up, every time, I've seen the film twice now and I teared up both times, is the last two seconds of the film when you turn to the audience and you're smiling. That just kills me every time." The video was shared by a fan page on Twitter. Take a look:
