You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an uplifting, perseverance-driven biopic with family support and a wartime setting, similar in spirit to Mary Kom; Not for you if you’re sensitive to disputed accuracy or uneven acting.
Pros: inspiring true-story vibe; strong father-daughter bond; engaging war backdrop | Cons: uneven lead performance; questions about accuracy; script feels preachy
