Guerra

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.

Was waiting for all these years to watch Hrithik and Tiger together. It finally happened and how!! Yoohoo. Loved it. Tiger's has put his all to this film. Hrithik is born for Hollywood. We need more of their movies together.

War is an Indian action-thriller about a soldier who has to eliminate his former mentor who has gone rogue and starts assassinating influential targets around the world for mysterious reasons.

The movie convinces on numerous levels. The story comes around with numerous surprising twists and turns that will keep the spectators on the edge of their seats until the very end. Most of the characters have interesting background stories, convictions and motives which make the two lead characters progressively more profound as the movie unfolds in particular. The action scenes are spectacular and vary from explosive car chases to combats in an old church that has fallen into disrepair. The special effects have been designed with care as the camera work and light techniques are very solid except from one unnecessarily nauseating scene in a conference room. The beautiful locations and settings are very colourful and vary from India over Italy to the Arctic Circle.

On the negative side, the first half of the movie has a confusing chronological order and constantly switches from past to present and back again when a smoother chronological structure would have been much easier to understand. The movie includes two completely unnecessary dance choreographies that harm the movie's flow, contradict the tense atmosphere and look mildly amusingly amateurish. Some plot elements are a little bit over-the-top and it feels as if the scriptwriters had tried to include ideas for three movies into one single film which make the movie slightly overloaded. Some acting performances are rather wooden such as Vaani Kapoor's who was probably chosen for her role because of her elegant physical appearance but is lacking elementary acting skills.

Still, War is a very entertaining action-thriller of epic proportions that improves steadily until a gripping finale. Anyone who likes action films, spy flicks or thrillers should give this dynamic movie a try. Fans of the Bourne trilogy, the Fast and the Furious franchise and the xXx films might discover a wonderful hidden gem here.

WAR - When the best intelligence service agent Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) goes rogue, his most able protege Khalid (Tiger Shroff) must step in to nab him. War is about why Kabir has gone rogue and what point Khalid has to prove, that will dovetail into a mouth watering duel between the industry's two best action heroes, unfolding on screen.

Director Siddharth Anand repeats the feat from Bang Bang, taking us on a globe trotting tour from Delhi to Malta, Morocco, Iraq, Portugal, Italy and finally the Arctic Circle (keeping Australia as the final cherry topping). War showcases some mind numbing, yet prolonged action and chase sequences that often start with us gawking, and then turn into "oh, come on now!" exclamations, testing our patience often. Both male leads put up their smug best faces, and while Hrithik gets a few opportunities to emote, Tiger manages to retain a deadpan expression barring the introduction sequence. But there's nothing to mind as War promised to be a lavishly mounted, high octane, glossy and technically superlative thriller, which it pretty much fulfills, leaving little or no opportunity for emotive skills. The action is exaggerated, but then with Hrithik and Tiger, you obviously didn't expect a love story to take home fond memories either. There's a particular fight sequence that is remarkable, where you can almost draw a comparison with a musical symphony, both the stars complementing each other as if a melifluous duet were being rendered. In contrast, the climax action sequence is gigantic, crude, bloody and violent. Watching them both execute "Jai Jai Shiv Shankar" in a song and dance is like human body in visual poetry, malleable and fluid - it's all paisa vasool stuff.

So coming back to the verdict, War is a superlative action thriller that reinforces Hrithik Roshan's capabilities as the best action hero India has, as well as catapults Tiger Shroff into the big league. It's a treat for fans. On the story front, there's enough spice and suspense as pieces slowly fall into place and characters reveal their true identities. But it isn't impactful enough as neither the characters have any depth nor does the screenplay leave any impression. It's all glitz, action and glamour without substance.

After a long time I have seen a hindi film that has well directed action sequence which maintained law of physics in most of the part except two or three minutes. The film has lots of lots twist which you will love. The best part is that you will not feel bore during the movie. It is a action movie and it maintained it status too. Both Tiger and Hrithik share good bond in the movie which I love the most. It one word it is a complete page that you should watch.
