#Major Review by Nishit Shaw

#MajorTheFilm is not just based on #Major #SandeepUnnikrishnan’s last moments, but his entire journey. #AdiviSesh has given once-in-a lifetime performance, #SaieeManjrekar adds the humour quotient while #SobhitaDhulipala is DEADLY.
Major starts on a very promising note showing the childhood days of Major Sandeep. The transformation from childhood to adulthood where he is finally fighting evil, is shown beautifully by the director and Adivi Sesh has absorbed it pretty well. His acting is beyond perfect while his adolescent phase looks great, his transformation into Major will blow your mind.
The BGM and emotional narration by Prakash Raj & Revathi makes the plot more convincing. Screenplay is immaculate whereas the climax is out of the world. You will be compelled to clap and whistle. Some may leave moist eyed while some May walk out with puffing their chests out by keeping the spirit of patriotism truly high.
Talking about performances, Adivi Sesh has given a superb performance. Words cannot describe it. Saiee Manjrekar takes care of the department of romance and fun which gives the film a balancing approach, Shobhita appears with a lot of twists, turns & excitement by portraying a well written character.
Screenwriting to direction, the film is a winner from every angle. Film strikes deepest sense of patriotism. It is definitely a must watch. Adivi Sesh, this name will be written on books of history of Indian cinema. Jai Hind.
