We have plenty of movies on wars, but we often see different names of the characters in the films, maybe due to restrictions from the army personnel, but in a few cases, those brave soldiers allow filmmakers to use their real names.
There are many films on Wars like Border, LOC, and recently we saw Pippa, then I realized that Sam Manekshaw is not featured in many films on the 1971 war, there are just 3 films in which we have seen Sam Manekshaw as our army chief.
Sam Bahadur was known for his dialogs with his soldiers and his powerful speeches, but there are only a few movies based on Sam Manekshaw that feature him as an important character.
Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw was our war hero and his battalion used to call him Sam Bahadur.
