Pippa Review: Portrait Of Battlefield Valour Without Shallow Bravado And Bluster

Published by Webster

Ishaan Khatter in a still from the film. (Courtesy: YouTube) Here finally is a war movie that steers clear of many of the tropes that Bollywood employs often to the detriment of the genre. Pippa, directed by Raja Krishna Menon, presents the action firmly within the realms of believability and stages it around soldiers and revolutionaries who look and sound real. The film takes time to warm up. Once it does, it delivers a portrait of battlefield valour that abjures shallow bravado and bluster. The fighting men are heroes all but they aren’t oblivious of personal challenges, doubts and misgivings as they plunge into their mission.     Pippa, produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP and Siddharth Roy Kapur’s Roy Kapur Films, places a just cause and the people fighting for it front and centre. The story it tells is more about palpable humanity than about pulpy patriotism. To be sure, not everything that Pippa attempts comes off. But it does strike a chord with its sustained restraint even as it deals with violence, courage and death. …
