Border

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.

Its 1997 movie, story about Indian Army at Pakistan border defending the country. A great story with number of beautiful songs.

Border is no Saving Private Ryan or behind enemy lines. It's an unpretentious patriotic film, which is great to watch on 15 Aug or 26 Jan. It's heavily dramatised with punching dialogue and touching songs. The characters are varied and likable, and acting doesn't come much better, though Sunny Deol is over the top as usual.

It's sad to see this movie trashed by some Pakistani viewers, who are clearly not happy to see a movie made about their war failures. Maybe they should make movies depicting their own point of view, rather than watching pirated copies of Indian movies, and then complaining about them.

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.

A very good war movie, despite somewhat expected chauvinist moments counterpointed by fluffy pacifist messages. Nice exploration of the inner personal dramas of the characters, and how it will affect their battle actions. Some battle scenes are very realistic; others contain elements of mystic heroism, yet the mix works well. The story has the same ingredients of the siege of the Alamo, but in a completely different cultural environment, what gives it a special appeal.
