User Reviews

Good Movie.

The attempt to make a good movie should be lauded, in this instance an off-beat Movie that exemplies the bravery of the Indian Army over the Coward dogs that are the captors. The Script is good but I donot see a patriotic son in an attempt to save his father dallying with twins, this is obviously for the demented,degenerate front benchers who are used to equally demented lowlife actors like Sharukh khan in mindless popsicle movies by pubescent directors. Bachchan is good and Dutt is getting better. The movie keeps you glued, has some authentic scenes. The movie is good and we need more of them instead of the trash that is being dished out with same Cast,same choreography,same locations, same jokes. These movies bring back some long needed dignity to the Indian Cinema.
