Paltan

Its a no nonsense movie with actual facts and incidents of the battle and not scuffle as most of Indians tag it.

i read some critics talking about the weaknesses and problems with movie but such as Langer from Indian express and i will not blame them because for them movies such as Tiger Zinda ... are actual war movies. There were problems back than with China and there are ongoing issue as we see this movie. Knowing some of the people who were there on that day of the incidents, I can tell you that this is exactly what happened on that day.

Its low budget, no fancy stuff but honest movie. Must watch i would say

I watched this movie because I like war films & i expected something like border from JP Dutta, but he disappointed me. Nothing great not even an average movie according to me. Performance of the actors were below average. I don't know what made JP cast Arjun for this movie, he was not even average. I don't think he is even made for such kind of movies. Jackie , Sonu Sood were ok Direction was poor. Guys just don't waste your money and time.

Okay so i was excited to watch this movie when i saw the trailer. as someone who has seen a lot of hollywood war movies, i wouldnt say it was bad but wasnt good either. the clash took place for 5 long days but here it shows everything ending in one single day. it would have been better had the movie taken this into account, like LOC Kargil and continued the battle sequence for atleast 3-4 days. The directors and producers need to see how hollywood made SAVING PVT RYAN in 1998 and still tops the hollywood war movies list. The emotional back story of the soldiers could have been less and more action could have been there. Finally JP Dutta sir forgot that a good war movie requires good actors who could deliver the movie in a better way. and a lot of money and research. because it was based upon real incidents, i loved to know about a forgotten and often neglected part of our history where we were victorious and should be proud of.

One spends money on so many useless things today. So, just buy the ticket, try to watch it, its not that bad and if you don't like it, come out. But do promote patriotic movies.

Paltan is pretty slow, is simplistic in all moments apart from those at the border, where it comes to gritty and realistic life. The relentless jostling for position, the eerie quiet in the barren plateaus of Sikkim, the reverberating hammer, driving the stake to the ground, where inch by inch, India washed the demons of 1962. Its as if you are there, and watching the action. So, unlike a Bollywood movie, things happen slowly. Therefore it's not going to be a hit. Yet, if anyone needs to understand what's happening on the LAC day in and day out at Arunachal and Ladakh, this is a must see. JP Dutta uses his motifs of letters from loved ones, calls to them, and the mandatory flashbacks, yet he doesn't quite create the magic of the iconic 'Border'.
