Border

Superb.I really have pity on some of reviewers who brand movie chauvinistic.How else a war movie is supposed to be? Especially when those whom you are fighting were your own countrymen till a few years back. A pretty good depiction of Indian Army and air force and relationship between different soldiers and their dilemma. Movie also touches on pathetic condition of Indian soldiers financially in those days which is no longer a case.Most haunting scene of Movie is Rakhi wandering in tank ridden field with Serra for his son.This single scene depicts the futility of war. But there should have been paid more attention to details of war e.g. even real life soldiers have said that they were not that outnumbered and main factor was air force not the army but it is true that they did hold a whole battalion with the help of anti tank mines.

Border is one of the best action war film in indian film industry. Actors have performed well in army uniforms. This movie also tells us the emotions and sentiments of war heroes. Music was melodious,lovely & soothing to the ears,songs like sandeshe aate hai, aye jaate hue lamhe & my foe, my brother are nice & melodious. Jackie dada was like a quintessential Indian air force officers & I liked the way Sunny paaji, Suniel anna, Kulbhushan sir & actors played the role of army men. The dialogue said by paaji " hum hai toh kya hum hai, tum ho toh kya tum ho" to dada was the best dialogue in the film. A cliffhanger showing the entry of IAF in the war was my favourite scene in the film.

Rarely has an Indian movie depicted the personal traumas that confront soldiers and their families. Border scores 10/10. The last song Mere Dushman Mere Bhai was touching.

Shows that all the bitter fighting between India and Pakistan is such a gross waste. It is a case of brother vs brother, and will have no winners in the end.

Border is the best war movie with mind-blowing action. Everyone gave powerful performances, lead by my favorite star, Sunny Deol. He was perfect as the brave Sardarji armyman, and this is definitely his greatest performance of the 90's (even more intense than Ghayal, Ghatak, Ziddi). He is the true action hero above others. He is so inspirational and very commanding to the point that you truly feel the patriotism and determination and love for your nation. This is definitely, one of the most powerful and realistic (based on 1971 Indo-Pak war) action movies that I have ever seen. It is as others say, "Men at their best! War at its worst!" This is a must watch for all Indians who really do love their country. It is shocking that despite the fact that this was the biggest blockbuster in '97, it was practically ignored by the corrupt and biased media. Border should have swept nearly all awards (it was worthy of Oscars). Watch this movie! 12/10.

Border (1997) is an bloody war film filled with an hour's worth of singing. The story is about a company of soldiers (most of the Punjabs) who must defend the India/Pakistan border at all costs. Tensions between the two countries were at the boiling point. The Pakistanis were preparing an all out assault on the Indian border. Based upon a real incident, the actors were great in their roles and the film makers made these characters flesh and blood instead of mere cardboard figures. Each has a tale to tell (in song with a lot of musical numbers). Who will win this incredibly high tensioned battle of survival?

A great film. I enjoyed it very much. I have watched several Indian films before and if I can find more like these then I can find a new film industry to keep an eye upon. The D.V.D. I saw was in stereo with English sub-titles. Over three hours long and highly entertaining. The violence content is high and a must for action fans and history buffs.
