The film was equally adept at impressing the critics. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee, gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and he wrote: “Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl spares us the spectacle of ungainly chest-thumping. What it gives us instead, and without too much showy flapping of the wings, is a good old touching tale of a girl who dared to break free from her cage and fly away – a heroine we can cheer without resorting to a blood-curdling war cry.”
In Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Janhvi Kapoor stars as the titular Flight Lieutenant Gunjan Saxena, who, along with Flight Lieutenant Srividya Rajan, were India’s first women combat aviators to operate in the Kargil war zone on tiny IAF Cheetah helicopters. The film also features Pankaj Tripathi, Angad Bedi and Vineet Kumar in pivotal roles.
