Alwyn: Mushko, Dras, Kaksar, Batalik, it's the same everywhere.
Romila "Romi" Dutta: I don't understand. Why does this war take place. Why do people get killed this way? When will these people understand that solution to a man's problem is not war but peace and prosperity?
Capt. Saket Ahluwalia, Dogra Regt.: [shouts loudly from the other table] Just shut up, just shut up.
Capt. Saket Ahluwalia, Dogra Regt.: [confronts Romi and others] If you want to give a lecture on peace and prosperity go to some other place. Get Lost.

Trivia
The vast majority of the non-speaking Army roles in the film were filled by real-life soldiers of 13th Battalion, The Punjab Regiment. (In the film, the unit portrayed is 3rd Battalion, The Punjab Regiment.) See more »Goofs
During preparation for the initial attack, teams are asked to fire randomly to provoke response fire and Col. Damle with Subedar are noting positions on map. Subedar points out presence of 2 heavy guns, but no such information is actually conveyed by the teams engaging enemy. There is only one mention of heavy guns in the entire scene, so it would not have been possible for Subedar to know of presence of more than 1 gun. See more »Quotes

I'm the kind of guy who enjoys mindless action movies as well as movies that are intelligent,sensitive&thought-provoking.Lakshya falls in the latter category. The promos were slick and the music sounded good.But when i read the box-office report on this movie i was surprised at the lukewarm response this movie got because i thought this movie would be a runaway hit.However what can people like us do when such gifted film-makers like Farhan Akhtar are discouraged because their movies don't spoon-feed facts to the audience.But all said and done,This is among my personal favourites and i'm giving it a 10/10.2004 has produced some mature and intelligent movies like Lakshya,Yuva,Hum Tum,Swades etc and i'm happy that film-makers are growing up.This movie inspired me a lot and has played a role in me realising the truth that we should always have an aim in life because a life without an aim is like a body minus the soul.
