Most moviegoers and critics were of the opinion that Vicky Kaushal carried the film on his shoulders given his impeccable performance as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.

Others said that the it felt like a drag and gave off documentary vibes instead of a film. "Apart from (Sanya) Malhotra' Siloo, who has been given barely any screen time with even negligible dialogues, and Fatima Sana Shaikh's Indira Gandhi, the rest are just stepping stones to accentuate Manekshaw's dashing and daring," Business Today said in its review of the film.

Directed by Raazi and Chhapaak fame Meghna Gulzar, Sam Bahadur focuses on India's first Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw and his role in the historic India-Pakistan war of 1971. The film stars Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Neeraj Kabi, Edward Sonnenblick and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in significant roles. Sam Bahadur was released in theatres worldwide alongside Ranbir Kapoor's Animal on December 1.
