High On Films’s review published on Letterboxd:
Sam Manekshaw might not be a name that pops up in regular household conversations, but there remains an awareness about him that supersedes that of any other person who serves or has served in the forces. Manekshaw led a glorious but a turbulent life, all of which contributed to the creation of his towering persona in the annals of history and deservingly so. But most popularly, he is known to be person who led Indian victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan and therefore, caused the formation of Bangladesh. Most important aspect of this event was successfully compelling forces in then East Pakistan to surrender unconditionally, for they were outnumbered and surrounded.
