War Chod Na Yaar

Good movie good dialogues.. not good songs and perfect comedy scenes with a message excellent comedy actors. Javed Jeffery was mind blowing...mukul Dev at his best. The movie has sent a msg. if u are looking to get entertained this is the movie for you. Keep your brains at home and enjoy the movie. The goat and the grass guy was fantastic. The flow of the movie is good. You will enjoy every moment. This is a new concept altogether. This movie has to be one of the best comedy movies made in India. The director has done well. Its all about what happens if the army Len start thinking like humans. Its a breakthrough for Bollywood.

"War Chod Na Yaar" is a movie that will not appeal to the mass. It is a movie for the class. Amazing cinematography, sarcastic plot, sheer use of humor, good makeup and Dilip Taahil's excellent acting takes it to the top. The music is very average and fails to make an impression. The transparency of media and the role of politicians have been portrayed appropriately in the movie. It is not simply a movie, it is a message to mankind. Though extremely Utopian, the movie shows how love and friendship can topple war. The use of puns has been very accurate. Actors are at their best. However, the army of the neighboring country has been portrayed in a manner that is often insulting. It is indeed a huge discredit. But overall, the movie successfully impresses the viewers and makes a mark. Still it is not a movie for the mass, but for the class only.

Defense Minister of India (Dalip Tahil), wants a media attention and visits the India-Pakistan Border with a channel's reporter Ruth Dutta (Soha Ali Khan). She meets Indian Army Captain Raj (Sharman Joshi) who shares a friendly gesticulation with General M. Qureshi (Javed Jaffrey) belonging Pakistani army, , convoyed by their soldiers. Then there is an involvement of dirty politics and politicians from both the country who make them fight with each other and the sole reason is political gain.

Faraz Haider did a commendable work here in his directorial debut with 'War Chhod Na Yaar'. The concept & script bring a fresh breeze amongst the mindless movies these days. What work here are the intention and some perfect satirical context. The narrative gives us an awareness of the atrocities of war and we can feel the compulsion of soldiers. It clearly indicates that nobody wants war but there are some catalysts that aggravate the reaction.

We witness many elements which are real amusements such as "antakshari" among the soldiers from both sides, playing cards at the border surreptitiously, commander talking about girlfriends some trespassers are being looted every time they appear on the screen by same man.

Most part of the film has been shot beautifully in Rajasthan. The murky desert looks fantastic with the use of torch lights, most of the scene have been shot at night which gives an eccentric feel.

Sharman Joshi does a wonderful work here and looked really authentic. Javed Jaffery delivers a perfect performance with natural comic timing as always. Sanjay Mishra is always a treat to watch with his delightful portrayal and perfectly delivered punches in his peculiar style. Dalip Tahil steals the show playing multiple roles of Indian Defense Minister, Pakistani Minister, Chinese General and as an American Senator with perfect US accent.

'War Chhod Na Yaar' manages to delivers what it desires. It works as a surprise and leaves strong impact that war is always pointless.

Director Mr. Faraz Haider work is below average. He always makes the movie crumbling behind script. I appreciate the intention of makers behind making this movie. There is not a single scene, where you think that Director had taken the film ahead of script. Director himself has written the script. Screenplay is boring. Strictly only a few dialogues are good. Love track is very abrupt and unnecessary. Night scenes are fairly lit, where you can easily recognize the actors, notice their expressions but most of time they carry the torch, alas, even they want to do it discreetly. So many things have gone wrong. Why did Dilip Tahil has given triple role? Spoof on news channel was a relief. Director wants to make a movie , where he can justify the need of peace between two nation but he has used some sarcastic dialogues and situation regarding the neighbor country, which can't be taken so lightly. If , you are condemning war then you must have balance approach towards both. Second half of movie has some light moments but I don't thing they can save the movie falling under below average. Performance wise all are just OK. Even good actors are wasted due to the script. Music is also not appealing.

Faraz Haider's 'War Chod Na Yaar' is A Truly Funny & Well-Acted Film! A humorous war-satire, that hits the right notes, at most parts.

'War Chod Na Yaar' Synopsis: Captain Rajveer Singh (Sharman Joshi) and Captain Quereshi (Jaaved Jafferi) are battalion captains of India and Pakistan - two countries forever embroiled in conflict and turmoil with each other. However, on the actual battle-field, Raj-Quereshi & their troops form an unlikely friendship & camaraderie, reared on a love for conversations on Hindi film songs & non-veg food. Midst them, arrives Ruth Dutta (Soha Ali Khan), an ambitious TV reporter, assigned to make a documentary on the lives of the soldiers of these two sides, as reported from on-ground. But when war is announced between these two countries, the easy friendship between the two sides is tested & conspiracy theories are hatched.

'War Chod Na Yaar' takes a dig at those who have made India & Pakistan, enemies, who are primarily politicians. But, underneath a strong message on world-peace, this recent under-rated war-comedy, delivers some crackling moments. The sequences in the first-hour belong to the tongue-in-cheek class of humor, while the second-hour concentrates on slap-stick & over-the-top humor.

Faraz Haider's Screenplay tackles a very serious, in a light-hearted manner. Although the final 15-minutes are serious, the rest of the film, concentrates on comedy, which works only as an advantage for the venture. However, the writing in the second-hour, isn't entirely solid. His Direction, on the other-hand, is controlled. Cinematography is appropriate. Editing is average.

Performance-Wise: Jaaved Jafferi is a joy to watch. The versatile actor enacts the bumbling war-hero with mesmerizing ease. Sharman Joshi is natural the core. Soha Ali Khan does nicely as the leading-lady. Sanjay Mishra is terrific, as always. Dalip Tahil, seen in multiple roles, does an impeccable job. Mukul Dev is alright. Manoj Pahwa is adequate.

On the whole, 'War Chod Na Yaar' is impressive work.
