War

Finally a Bollywood movie, that can seriously draw comparisons with Hollywood flicks here!

A well executed piece of Action art that seriously surpassed my expectations! Considering the budget and the technology Bollywood have in hands ; this surely set the standards few notches up. The casting of Hrithik and Tiger made it much appealing too! They duly justified their respective roles. Locations, Cinematography, CGI all looked pretty good considering it's Bollywood. It's still not close of Hollywood regarding the Action pieces but I must admit it surprised me a lot with what it already had.

My complaints aren't in the execution or efforts of the makers but the Weaker Screenplay and Lack of character development here. Well there are numerous Flaws in in too alongside some typically over the top dramatized scenes. But those didn't bother me much! I expected a lot more depth and seriousness from the writing. Inclusion of unnecessary comedic elements or dialogues didn't help at all building up the story. We should have had Tension riling up in relevance to the strong premise it had but it rather became a Action Showcase where there's little to none severity.

I actually couldn't really feel the stakes here, And the weak writing was the cause of it. Storyline was Generic and predictable as usual but the ending twist shocked me to be honest! I never saw it coming.

It's not a film for everyone although We must appreciate what the makers have intended to do But the weaker prospect in Writing, Screenplay and character development ressisted me to "Love" it in the end.

So overall it's an One time watch but A really good one in that! Pure entertainer for the Action Lovers and yeah a Treat for hardcore Hrithik Fans.

War

A really great Bollywood movie from start to finish it had the lot, labyrinthine plot, betrayal, treason, corruption brilliant action sequences and amazing dancing. On top of all this we had abs a plenty, no six packs they were eights or tens at least.

7 for Hrithik and 1 for everything else. One of the most entertaining action packed movie made in Hindi Cinema including movies around the world where individuals are involved in actions not everything beside them.

To say that War has a wafer-thin plot is an understatement. War has a lot of visual appeal but the all style and no substance approach makes this 2 hours 36 minutes film a real drag. DISAPPOINTING!

It isn't completely unwatchable, but it certainly tests your patience. How many times have you ordered a dish that looks terrific photographed in a menu but disappoints when it shows up on the table? War is that kind of meal and a golden opportunity lost. It has two handsome leads, some eye-popping stunt scenes (Paul Jennings, Franz Spilhaus, Oh Sea Young & Parvez Shaikh) and a slew of beautiful locales. It would take an especially awful script & an incompetent director to deliver a mess out of those ingredients. Everything here is laid out crystal clear at the lowest common denominator. Sure enough, the film packs enough twists & turns. But those particular twists are so ludicrous that it is hard to imagine someone could still be thinking in such formulaic ways. Abbas Tyrewala's dialogues are so clunky, they make you cringe. Director Siddharth Anand, the man who gave us such excruciating films as Tara Rum Pum, Anjaana Anjaani & Bang Bang, applies the same pedestrian sensibilities to what could've been a slick enjoyable romp.

Siddharth Anand & Aditya Chopra's story rests on the assumption of suspension of belief. The film is weighed down by a teary familial back-story and a major twist that anyone who's watched even three masala potboilers can predict from a mile away. It's a pity to see a production house of the stature of YRF go down the same path again and again. And yet if there's one reason to watch War, it's Hrithik Roshan. He's charming, charismatic & appears to be having a good time. Here's a movie star who actually looks like he could pull off those action scenes for real. Vaani Kapoor is wasted. Soni Razdan is Perfect. Ashutosh Rana is dependable as always. Arif Zakaria, Swaroopa Ghosh (Sherna Patel), Dipannita Sharma, Anupria Goenka are just fine in their respective roles. Tiger Shroff can dance effortlessly, fight in style and charm the audiences. But what one really needs to applaud is the way he carries the film. His role in War seems to be a hundred notches ahead of what he did in his previous movies.

For the most part War is all action, no talk. Its pace remains inconsistent. At times, it runs very slow but catches up with the action sequences that follow. Overall, the star cast will ensure that the movie sails through comfortably at the box-office. Skip it!

War is nothing Bollywood has never seen before. It has good action, visual effects, directing, acting, cliche Bollywood masala songs and decent writing under one roof. There are a few good twists and turns throughout the movie which are both predictable and unpredictable. The VFX is very good and the bgm is also very good which helps the overall tone of the film. Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff rocked in the leading roles and Vaani Kapoor gave a good performance in her small screen space. This is a movie which is taken like Mission Impossible and Fast and Furious which also has a few Bollywood masala. Overall, War is a good action thriller popcorn fun.
