It is a well made movie with good acting by all. The love and commitment of a senior army is portrayed very nicely.The love is much beyond the love the love for family.On the other hand the casual attitude of the younger generation and how it changes to that of responsibility and commitment
Patriotism is supposed to mean love for one's country. But in director Anil Sharma 's films it acquires a new definition and becomes hatred towards one's neighbor. Like his previous flicks, Sharma's latest film, Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo is jingoistic in flavor. The movie is not without Pak bashing and there are dialogues aplenty that insinuate towards Akshardham Temple episode, the Parliament attack and the terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir with continuous reference to Pakistani support to militants. And the funny thing is that the movie is being promoted as Indo-Pak friendship movie. And what does it show in the name of Indo-Pak friendship? the forces of the two countries joining hands in the end to fight militants who try to sabotage the Amarnath Yatra. In truth, ATHWS is a venomous, jingoistic flick disguised as a friendship movie. And it comes in very bad taste in the times when the relationship between the two countries is at an all-time high and the cultural exchange has begun between the people of two nations. The only non-irritating thing in the movie is the romantic track between the three leading characters.
There was a time when Anil Sharma made a career doing films like GADAR and many more
But today times have changed
But he is still stuck in those days when patriotic lines against PAK were given claps today they get only slaps
The film is so much primitive that it is boring
The entire PAK references.etc are done to death and comes at the wrong time
The love triangle is boring and the culmination is stupid
The scenes in the jail between Danny and Akshay are contrived and Akshay delivers his lines as if talking in a stage play or saying a poetry there
The film fails to hold your attention cos it has nothing attention grabbing
How many times has Bachchan played such roles post 2000?
Direction by Anil Sharma is nothing great Music is okay
Akshay Kumar doesn't have much to do but play the larger then life hero he played many times and say one liners every time He is decent Bobby Deol is good Amitabh looks bored and repetitive Nagma is a miscast Divya Khosla is bad Sandali is efficient Ashutosh Rana has a clichéd role, Danny is good

It is a real shame that this movie was marketed as an Indo-Pak relationship building movie. India has every right to make an anti-Pak movie but to market it has a peace movie and to blatantly show just the opposite is a disgrace. The entire movie was a display of how India can do no wrong while Pakistan is a venomous nation with no good. After living in both countries and having ties with neither I realized that both countries do good and do bad.
This movie portrayed that it is all Pakistan's fault and as soon as Pakistan realizes this the two countries could move forward. Contrary to the theme both countries need to compromise in order to progress. I cannot believe how anyone with a decent education could believe such nonsense.

As entertaining as it is ATHWS is just another run of the mile war film with strong pro India messages! What starts out with a fantastic warship scene soon turns out into a hodgepodge of romantic songs love triangles and bits of violent war scenes. the story has some brilliant elements to it. and on the whole the story is not too bad. made well in parts, with some brilliant cinematography. unfortunately Bobby deol does nothing much to impress as his acting is rather flat. the only thing that saves this film is Amitabh Bacchan who plays a brilliant role and is a delight to watch. Danny Dezongpa does a wonderful job too. Not a bad film on the whole but could be a lot better.
