Waar (2013)
Not up to the mark
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.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)
An interesting Movie
Inspite of warnings from my conservative friends that it is all about extra-marital relationship and un-ethical and immoral stuff, I still watched the movie and enjoyed it a lot. Many people may ideolize SRK and Rani but that doesn't mean that they follow what they did in this movie. It should be considered as an isolated tale of two individuals following their heart while trying to follow the traditions. It describes all the pain of going into an extra-marital affair while trying to keep ones marriage intact and also trying to be fair with your spouse. There may be couple of odd sequences but overall it was a good effort.
