War Chod Na Yaar

What a third class movie with the worst acting, dialogues and scene setting. Initially i thought as I am looking at 70s time chines movie with worst dialogue and worst actors. It seems as the director and producer caught the actors from street and they decided to make this movie in 10 minutes. Probably the movie will top the charts if its given the chance to appear for the year's baddest movie. There is not laughter rather I thought many a times to give it full of tears. What has happened to the Indian movie making as it seems that the law graduates of Indian universities are making movies with no sense rather nonsense. I shut the movie in first 5 minutes and still full of sadness on wasting those precious moments of my life. Moreover why good actors like Joshi don't look at the script before signing such movies as I had a big respect for him but now I m going to extra cautious in deciding to see his movies.

"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.

Director Mr. Faraz Haider work is below average. He always makes the movie crumbling behind script. I appreciate the intention of makers behind making this movie. There is not a single scene, where you think that Director had taken the film ahead of script. Director himself has written the script. Screenplay is boring. Strictly only a few dialogues are good. Love track is very abrupt and unnecessary. Night scenes are fairly lit, where you can easily recognize the actors, notice their expressions but most of time they carry the torch, alas, even they want to do it discreetly. So many things have gone wrong. Why did Dilip Tahil has given triple role? Spoof on news channel was a relief. Director wants to make a movie , where he can justify the need of peace between two nation but he has used some sarcastic dialogues and situation regarding the neighbor country, which can't be taken so lightly. If , you are condemning war then you must have balance approach towards both. Second half of movie has some light moments but I don't thing they can save the movie falling under below average. Performance wise all are just OK. Even good actors are wasted due to the script. Music is also not appealing.
