    Blockbuster and Record Braker
    After watching the theatrical trailer of Waar a month or so ago, I was extremely excited about watching this big budget, action movie. Its not everyday that a slick looking film comes out of Pakistan.

    However, after sitting through the nearly 140 minute film, I felt Proud and Don't really expected that it will be a Blockbuster and record broker Movie of Era and A solid stand to our Country and Film Industry as well.

    The cinematography is Marvelous, with some Extra ordinary action sequences which was never been scened before in our Films.

    It will take Revolution to Pakistani cinema after a long time. The signs are positive, but there is still a long way to go.
