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.

I didn't expected much of a story from this film, but watched it for SHAAN, our BEST hero who never got the role at par with his level. Watch it for Shamoon, the best Villain ever in a Pakistani movie, he stands out as Heath Ledger stood out in Batman Begins. Watch it, for those sick minded cheap TV anchors, who didn't reported this Mega Event in our Film Industrie's History. Don't just moved by the story, stories are stories, at the end of day, its about Patriotism. Support it for being Pro Pakistani. As far as film is concerned, it lacked focus, his movie had its individual moments of foolishness, and individual scenes that SHINED, movie lacked character building, it lacked realistic world setup, and worst thing was very fake English accent. But it was better then any Indian Action movie, which normally cross all levels of stupidity.

Waar comes to us after much anticipation that spreads over the course of almost 1.5 years and it certainly lived up to the anticipation...The movie's execution is immaculate and needless to say it is very well linked with the current situation of Pakistan. Also that it brings forth the contributions of armed forces of Pakistan, what most of common Pakistanis and foreign media is unaware of. The closing message which is remarkable as it says "As long as the history is being written by hunters...lions would never be known as heroes" speaks for the overall concept of the movie which certainly is a major leap in attempting to build the history right...Kudos
