One of the best movies of both Hrithik and Farhan. Please make more such amazing and sensible movies. It should have rocked the BO though.Sadly,people prefer mindless action over such heartfelt and genuine movies. Kudos! And Hrithik your Best acting till date as the army officer! Controlled expression and those intense eyes! Not to forget Priety Zinta as the brave reporter. In fact every character in the film added to the beautiful experience. Lets not forget the songs, meaningful,beautiful and romantic. Go watch everyone.Hrithik deserved the best actor in all the award shows and Farhan the best director.The movie is so relevant even today.All in all we need more such movies.

could there have been a better film???? do not think so..A coming of age film from the stables of a director who has proved yet again his talented direction after dil Chahta hai..Meet Karan the male protagonist who time & again proves his talent & hard work. Still recollect when this movie was reviewed by times of India, it carried a full half a page of his accomplishments in the movie. Truly a rock solid performance,be it his carefree attitude personified of a typical young Delhi brat living on his father's money or his classy act in army uniform or his dance moves,he has lived the character amazingly.. Especially the scenes where he converses with his father & expresses his love for him & one where he is shown venting his emotions without saying anything but just using his facial muscles and clenching his teeth,i mean this is & will remain an act that deserved a national award but our audience & organizers could neither digest the movie nor award his reel act..Commendable is the technical superiority,choreography & the music giving us one of the most inspirational songs ever in *haan yeh rasta hai tera..* Ably complemented by preity zinta & other men in uniform,director has been truly successful in extracting from the ensemble cast.. Only glitch that will remain with me is the lackluster box office collections & no recognition of the act of Hrithik roshan.

This film begins well and is interesting enough for the first hour. Unfortunately, the pace slackens as the film focuses on overlong attack sequences in the second half. It still remains watchable but is not as entertaining as Farhan Akhtar's first film 'Dil Chahta Hai'. Hrithik does a good job specially in the first half. He has an impressive dance number "Main Aisa Kyun". Preity doesn't share great chemistry with Hrithik and looks awkward as a reporter. Amitabh Bachchan has a short role and feels wasted. Tighter editing would have made this a much better film.Overall 5/10

After seeing liking Dil Chahta Hai and Don I wanted to see other films by Farhan Akhtar. Lakshya surprised me quite a bit. The coming of age of an aimless young man (Karan played by Hritik Roshan) was shown quite well in this film. His motivation is love, he decides to stop drifting and joins the army, after a false start he does shape up and then realizes he might have lost his love (Romi - Preity Zinta) to someone else in the process. Posted near the Kargil border his bravery and dedication to his country is amply tested. He also encounters Romi as a war journalist. In the end he does reach his Lakshya - his goal, and achieves personal growth in the process.The movie is beautifully shot in locale in Delhi, Dehradun and in Kashmir. The scenery is stunning and some of the war footage is mind blowing. There is a rock climbing episode that will remind the viewer of the Guns of Navarone but is spectacular all the same. Mr. Roshan make a very believable war hero and seems well capable of the heroics he performs. Miss Zinta is good in a not so major role.. The big B is very restrained as Col. Damle and the rest of the cast does their job really well. The music is good except for the first song with Hritik dancing in front of all the mirrors - that is just bad. The story has some inconsistencies - why is she the only journalist at the front line? How did they let her in so close to the fighting? But in the end Lakshya is a serious story about the journey into adulthood, and becoming man enough to shoulder responsibilities that come your way. Watch it - but be warned, it is not a popcorn flick!
