Vikram Batra was a very upbeat guy, but there’s no indication that he screamed his victory code. Shershaah’s script writer has spent a lot of time with his family and other soldiers from his platoon. It’s safe to say Shershah’s portrayals are closer to how it happened.
You see some people making that excuse on YouTube while comparing this scene. Battlefield is a good excuse for wooden? But the thing is Sid was like that the entire film. It wasn’t just this scene. While Abhishek portrayed the character as more upbeat. The scriptwriter was more focused on Vikram Bhatra than LOC Kargil which was about multiple heroes. But that doesn’t mean the actor did him more justice. I am amazed Sid even got the appreciation he did. It was very overhyped performance on his part.
Abhishek def got more votes here. I believe. I found Sid’s voice very flat. But it is a matter of opinion.
