Waar

EPIC!!... Worth watching & was worth waiting 3 years 4 it(after the trailer)... Da age of Gujjars & Dogers sort of movies in Pakistan is at an end.... 1st "Khuda K Liyay" then "Bol" and now "Waar", truly a marked difference in Lollywood mentality... A crystal clear picture of likely events prevailing in Pakistan ... Dark clouds and nightmares of this country & the efforts by each and every soul here to clear it... Patriotism & Devotion at its highest level is shown.... Top class actors of Pakistan ShowbizZz industry take the movie to an exceptionally different level.... True enemies of Pakistan are indirectly referred to as well ... Glamour, Money and Arsenal is posed in true color...

In my submission, I have not seen a Pakistani film before, but as the fame of Waar had reached my country as well, I decided to watch it, for another approach on terrorism matters (I have learned to avoid US films on the said topic). In spite of some clichés and Hollywood action influences (including Tarantino), I find Waar giftedly created and performed: directing, photography, music background and leading performances were all up to scratch, flashbacks were not annoying and were logical part of the script, religion did not dominate and was expressed in a decent manner, the apparently huge budget helped to create ungarbled thrill, etc.

The "problem" for me was to distinguish some actors at times (especially in dark/night environments), as well as to assess reliability-reality of the plot. Therefore, I followed the film as a distant outsider, enjoying the creation and obtaining additional information of this large and beautiful country.

Considering the limitations and trends in local cinema Waar is truly a masterpiece. It outclasses most of Bollywood's action movies and is even better than some Hollywood Movies (Mind you if you are a fan of Hollywood action movies like Expendables etc. than believe me Waar is way better than any such movies). Though the dialogues and script had some flaws and weak points especially in connecting scenes but overall its a must watch. One may argue that the story is not new but believe me its execution is something that is new for this part of the world. On the other hand it also had some scenes that were outstanding, exceptional, mind blowing and superb. The action, the cinematography, acting and direction were outstanding. Action, Thrill, Drama, Humor and a little romance.... name anything that a movie should have in it and you will find each n everything in this movie. For me it is 9/10 (-1 for some minor flaws in script, story and connecting scenes). I would highly recommend that it is a must watch movie but plzzz don't wait for torrents and pirated copies of this movie go and watch it in cinemas near you as I believe we all should support such projects by contributing our bit.

On the way back from the cinema.. feeling proud and hopeful with the Pakistani Cinema taking its shape. Bilal Lashari has done tremendous job by producing this great movie Waar, which has every thing to keep the viewer glued. Great visuals, excellent acting and spectacular action makes "Waar" a must watch.

From beginning to an end its a complete entertainment. The background scores and sound effects are great. For me the movie which takes applause, laughter and screams is the movie for masses and Waar got it all. My experience in Cinema watching the movie was great.

Had it been a better video quality would make Waar fairly comparable to any Hollywood movie.

I am really a film lover.But First time I saw a Pakistani film that is incredible to see. Although it is hard to describe it in few lines. But the director did his job to his best and available sources. Some scenes are very awesome and remarkable.One could imagine that it could be a Hollywood standard film. The make of the film, made the WAAR first film in Pakistan history that will break all previous records in Pakistani cinema.DOP is really good. Aerial scenes are credit of the director.There are some weaknesses but could ignore it.I believe that Director Mr. Bilal will do his best next time. And we will see his abilities soon. It is revival of the Pakistani cinema. Houseful tags are hanging outside the cinema gates. I give the credit to all the WAAR team. who gave the Pakistani people a fresh stance after long time. And have the good wishes to all, those made it possible. Especially thanks to ARY and its efforts for Pakistani cinema.
