The story of Captain Vikram Batra is one that many have heard of, but not many have seen.
The next bit in the Vikram Batra story unfolds in a Chandigarh college, where he, now a strapping lad, falls in love with a classmate, Dimple Cheema Kiara Advani.
Lead actor Sidharth Malhotra has what it takes to flesh out a real-life martyr who has left behind a larger-than-life aura, but the evolution of the character's tough-as-nails personality that lies at the base of his battlefield derring-do is delivered in the form of shallow, trite driblets.
In the end, no prizes for guessing, he makes the right decision egged on a bit by his beloved and by his best pal Sunny Sahil Vaid.
