I don't understand why this movie deserves an above 8 score. The story is all right. The acting, dialogue, direction is ridiculous. The background music feels just like noise. A few songs are all right. The movie claims to be based on actual events. Well the director should have done more research before suggesting Indian intelligence agency's playing any role in terrorism in Pakistan.Well i guess Pakistan just knows to accuse but there is a certain thing as proof which is needed to prove accusation as fact. The monster of terrorism is Pakistan's own creation and now they are blaming India for their own mistake. This is stupid. I also urge Indians to down-vote this movie as best as they can.

With a budget of 1.7 Mn $ this movie is Pakistan's most expensive movie(Yes! Believe me!), while they have shown totally opposite of what they are. Time Waste!Coinciding with the release of War Chhod Na Yar on the Indian side, comes a Pakistani movie called Waar which has an entirely different story-line. Opening to cinemas on Eid this week, Waar is a movie about Pakistan's war on terrorism and how India is behind all the terrorist activities that take place in Pakistan.Relying heavily on stereotypes that exist in Pakistani media already, Waar is a story about one Major Mujhtaba, a retired army officer who had taken an early retirement from the forces due to personal reasons. This lead role is played by the country's top actor, Shaan.A special task force of the police is trying to tackle terrorism in the tribal areas but there comes a time when they realize that Pakistan is about to be hit by a terrorist attack and none but the retired Major Ehtesham can lead such a complicated operation.The two villains in the movie that emerge are the local politicians (there are look alikes of Zardari and Nawaz Sharif) and RAW agents, who come in different shapes and sizes.The two RAW agents Ramal and Laxmi are the primary cause of most trouble in Pakistan. The movie shows them behind political murders, suicide bombings and even kidnapping. There is another RAW agent who works as a social worker by day and honey-traps willing politicians by nights.

I went to watch this movie with high hopes but it was far less than my expectations. The action sequences were brilliant and new to Pakistani Cinema but that was it. There was not much depth in the story. Local sentiments expressed in a foreign language felt like we were watching a dubbed movie. The subject of terrorism was explored in a lopsided manner. Instead of exploring the hardliner Islamists mindset, the story writer went for the easy and safe target i.e. India. I don't understand why this movie was made in English as there is nothing in it for foreign audience. The dialogs would have been more impressive if written in Urdu which was another drawback of the movie.

I must say I was disappointed watching this film. It was long and tedious, and I was wishing for it to end. Let me start of saying that the character development is flawed. New characters appeared scene after scene without any description and the focus fluctuated from one actor to the other leaving the audience without any main focal point. Secondly the plot has many loop holes. The idea was great but wasn't executed. The editing is very choppy as the scenes do not seem to go in a flow. Seemed like a roller coaster jumping from one scene to the next, a result of poor editing. The only good aspect of the movie was Shaan. He is a terrific actor and he played his role well. Overall this movie isn't worth your time.
