i be not familiar with what turn indian on to war and a i have never live there to fully assess their psychology and in term of war and patriotism and of course jingoism . the film itself have a western feel to it and with the bowling alley scene and the easy wealthy living of the lead character and the nod towards arnie and the all american action hero and governor of california while affluent educate smart kid leave india to service the usa . i mean how many indian live like this survive on 20 rupee a day . ( 80 % ) perhaps that be why the movie never make a box office impact in india and because it be too busy please it jewish sponsor . because it have no real connection to reality . the pseudo western character with their anglicized wile and and mannerism . be that what really impress indian audience . be this film fund by jew in america . or the underworld gangster who run bollywood . i be not sure the movie move back and forth in time work and it be irritate . the song silly and irrelevant . how do you have song in a serious and slightly moody war movie . just doesn not work in the real world . the character be cardboard and real hard cardboard with no depth and clichés of act and and nothing unique and different . and a a propagation and sale of the indian armed force it could have do a good job . perhaps it me and but i find it embarrass when indian character flick back and forth between english and hindi . stick to hindi if you be fly the flag while this aint a call center advert . if your movie really have be fund by bollywood gangster and not some outside entity to whom you must nod to in the movie and in those tire obvious way then make the overall movie more down to earth and and not have the cadet take their national oath to the nation in english . if you want to sell yourself and prostitute yourself and then do so a little bit more discreetly and in a slightly more sophisticated manner and with a good story and than the usual angst directionless youth find meaning in life by join the armed force line . i be give it negative only because of preity zinta and with her dimple . i have see quite a few war movie in term of global production . usa and uk and germany and france and russia and australia and and others and this movie would not measure up to them globally . just wouldn not . it weak . it pop culture cliché ridden . if you be churn out 1100 movie a year and it be 2008 and and you be project yourself a a global player in movie and much else and you have get to do good than this weak stuff fill with cliché scene and and poor acting . the scene which have the feel of 2 minute tv add and of smart as cute comment which the average indian never utter . i have not see one decent war movie from india . no song . decent gritty acting by serious actor in real war situation and fight real war and against real enemy . beautifully craft and and convey . on a separate note represent it be a shame that bollywood be still produce anti pakistani movie . this doesn not help the harmony of south asia and but do assist the element of outside force to sow disharmony in this region and essentially brother attack brother . if you be reasonably educate you should know that pakistan be a failed state number 9 from the bottom and which be manage by . the usa or uk . let me put it another way . the western trained top pakistani military brass and who also speak english in their private environment and do not commit to war unless encourage by the usa or uk . the pakistani army be a carbon copy of the british army from the late raj era and which fight it best and most aggressive war mainly against it own people . in kargil and it be general musharaf who initiate the conflict because of his fear that india and pakistan might finally sign a peace deal ( bhajpayee go to pakistan a a gesture of goodwill and meeting sharif . after kargil bhajpayee say he felt he have be stab in the back ) . musharaf use the paramilitary northern light infantry and and irregular to attack india and not with the objective of win and because you do not use paramilitary force against india if you be serious about win and but rather to scupper the possible peace deal between the two nation . a it happen the peace deal be scupper and and the two nation become hostile with one another and thereafter . musharaf on the back of kargil come to power and and rule pakistan for 9 year until he be topple by the american . the american need to soften up pakistan before they can attack the country in the future possibly with india and and it be the american who have encourage india to participate in afghanistan and against pakistan . develop a coalition of the willing in this region . general musharaf meanwhile may have to leave pakistan and give his legacy to the country and and he will head off to britain no doubt and buy some property or two with his loot in london and and thereafter move on to the usa and where he will be lecture at american university . the american want india to attack pakistan for them and and such film underlay this strategy and and why the movie feel like a copy of an american b movie and from the 1980 reagan era . it be not in india interest to see pakistan occupy by the usa and especially the uk and with nato in toe . south asia should be free of foreign force . shame on you javed akhtar and and the director and ghost writer . you be muslim living in india and and i be sure you have go through some tough experience and but you do not have to show your loyalty to india in this cheap and crass way . because ultimately give the overall geostrategy of the region and with whats go on in afghanistan and you be not help india and the people of south asia with such cheap movie .
