Lahore

A shamefully one-sided and unrealistic film, as childish as children's cartoons where one guy is portrayed as hero who always does the right thing and the other as villain who always does the wrong things, apparently made by a bunch of idiots who first of all know absolutely nothing about Pakistan, and who only promote hatred and propaganda. I was highly disappointed given that this film got some accolades at the level of national film awards. From cheap acting to lousy screenplay and direction to the fact that it is not even remotely true to the ground realities, it is a shamefully disappointing effort. The fact that this film won accolades at the national level in India itself contradicts the propaganda the film tries to promote, i.e. India's willingness to promote peace and resolve tensions between the two countries.

For those of you who really liked this movie, please go and watch the American movie "Best of the Best" made in 1989. Yes, this movie is yet another copy from bollywood. What really surprises me is that being a copy of an American film, how can this movie win any award and yet being internationally acclaimed??? This movie doesn't reach up to the original version, Best of the Best. The fight scenes are really not impressive at all. If you see the original movie, you'll be well entertained with great fight sequences and really see the fighters fighting without using any special effects (cables).

Mukesh Rishi looks too old for his character in this movie. Aanahad has good physics and probably a professional kick-boxer in real life too, but as far as acting is concerned, well......

Loosely based in one of my favorite American martial arts movies "Best of the best", this Indian martial arts film has a clear message of friendship between two nations, India and Pakistan but although of that, the film was not released in Pakistan because they considered that the movie shows the country in bad light..

The musical moments are much more tolerable than in other Idian films that I've watched, here are just part of the story and nobody suddenly begins to dance and sing crazily for over ten minutes Emoticono tongue but the weakest point of the movie are the fights in the ring, nothing spectacular, slow and sometimes even clumsy, it is very obvious that none of the actors has a martial arts background...

'LAHORE' is one of the good Indian sports movie defying boundaries i have ever seen. This movie has something right about it despite a predictable plot , really made my day , the director has done a tremendous job.

The Actors have done quite a job too which complemented the film.

And it's also a WARNER BROS. film , so these guys know where to put in the money

though i feel sorry that these sort of movies ...drop dead before cumin to our theaters

and Please do not compare this movie to the Hollywood's best because this film has a different touch and situation to it.

SO GUYS PLEASE DO WATCH IT !!

I watched this movie after hearing a lot about all the international awards that were bagged by the film-makers. But after watching Lahore, I realize how much potential Indian film makers have and Indian movies are not all about singing & dancing around trees. About the movie, I would say, watch it for story line which stay on track, the brilliant performance of Aanaahad and Farooq Shaikh, for the brilliantly shot fight sequences (rarely seen in an Indian movie, mostly they are over the top), good background score and lastly, but not the least, the direction and editing. Sanjay Chauhan has done an awesome job, the movie does not loose pace, the script is tight and the viewer gets engrossed very easily into the lives of the characters. I felt the start was a bit confusing (first 5 min) but once the movie unfolds one finds out what is actually going on. I would recommend this to one and all. If movies like this one keep on being made in India, we can actually hope that we can remove the monopoly of the Yash Raj type director/producers from India who think that an Indian viewer has no sense and will watch anything.
