Though his character reminds one of Jack Nicholson in 'A Few Good Men', the actor completely makes the part his own and stands out. Finally, it is Kay Kay Menon who steals the show in his special appearance. In briefer roles, Seema Biswas is superb and Amrita Rao impresses. However, in a few scenes it almost borders on wooden. But, what's with the excessive makeup? Deepak Dobiyal downplays his part well in most parts. Minisha Lamba is very good, as she shares a warm chemistry with Bose and adds charm and determination to her character. It gets a little annoying until in the second half his portrayal of his character's transformation reflect his maturity as an actor. Rahul Bose really gives a too laidback performance in the beginning. It picks up rapidly in the second half once Bose's Siddhant gets serious about the case and this only somewhat makes up for the lethargic first hour. However the movie drags during the entire first half. Khan and Malhotra's writing is somewhat good in that they create different characters that are well-developed and they tell an interesting story (in spite of the flaws mentioned). But, does that excuse the film for plagiarizing? The intention isn't to mislead people into thinking this is a complete scene-by-scene copy of 'A Few Good Men' (it isn't) but the resemblance is very noticeable. Critics have praised 'Shaurya' for being a brave film and in spite of being an inspiration, it 'Indianizes' the film very well. The courtroom scenes lift off the original source but most of the rest is something else. The characters too are dissimilar, although during the courtroom sequences Javed Jaffrey reminds us of Kevin Bacon. The themes handled in 'Shaurya' are very different from that of 'A Few Good Men'. However, the makers could have at least acknowledged their source of inspiration just to avoid the accusation of plagiarism. Yet, there are many differences that make 'Shaurya' in some way its own movie. Of course some scenes might trigger memories of other military thrillers like the entertaining but predictable Morgan Freeman- Ashley Judd starred 'High Crimes' or even the awful 'Rules of Engagement' (thankfully this film isn't as bad). The inspiration is obvious as the outline of the story in 'Shaurya' is largely taken from Rob Reiner's 'A Few Good Men'.
