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.

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.

The movie starts with both leaders of the respective army playing cards at the border in late night and this is unknown to rest all the soldiers of both the sides.

The movie then unfolds to the stories happened 18 hours back and comes to the present till interval and then heads for the second half.

Here, we are shown how the media and political groups are hungry for attention and also getting awakened at the time when it was needed the most.

War chodd na yaar shows something that is actually known but always been held as a covert stuff just because of the agenda of the people at the top.

WCNY mostly focuses on the sentiments of the people from both the sides, the soldiers as well as the common people. Watch out for the scenes where an Indian girl chats with a Pakistani guy on FB about the things happening at the border.

The movie will be remembered for the comic timing and a common subject dealt with a different view. Direction by Faraz Haider is promising.

Performances are top notch from all the actors. Sharman,Javed Jaffrey , Soha Ali Khan and Mukul Dev are brilliant. Special mention for Mr.Dalip Tahil who plays four roles at the same time and does it with zeal. Sanjay Mishra and Manoj Pahwa also don't look underused.

Songs are good but the song at the start showing soha falling for sharman and only capturing him in her camera could have been avoided.

In all its a refreshing change from the path that is always taken by Bollywood comedy movies. There is no room for boredom here.

For the team of WCNY, i would dedicate this quote of Ralph Waldo Emerson ,"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. "

Tis movie has achieved it.

Bollywood tries its hand at a war comedy, of course borrowing heavily from other film industries, but fails abruptly because the intended humor, slapstick or whatever foolishness they carve out of the plot bangs on the audience's faces and disappears.

The dialogs, a strong point used to induce humor here, not only does causes boredom but also makes no sense at all. I like the idea of the witty remarks at the media & politics, but I didn't find any reason to laugh at their off-blown jokes. Nation leaders playing games on their smart-phones is funny but the same leader taking a sh*t while in a conference with other leaders is not jocular. I see where the writers are inspired from, but Hollywood war-comedies are far better.

There is no logic in the story, but yeah, the characters are tad funny. Their performances are below average and I still cannot fathom what Soha Ali Khan was doing there. Songs looked like additive and over the 2- hours I might have chuckled 2 or 3 times.

BOTTOM LINE: A failed attempt at something that requires the makers to have a huge sense of humor, which evidently they haven't.

Skip!
