Review of War . . .
Initially Siddharth Anand used to make soft rom com films or emotional drama we can say like Salaam Namaste, Tara Rum Pum, Bachna Aye Haseeno etc later in 2014 he came up with a high octane Action flick which was the official remake of Hollywood film Knight and Day. His tie up with Hrithik Roshan worked. Bang Bang got mixed reviews from the critics but action masala lovers praised the film and it became successful at Box-Office.
Once again the Director brings the another BIG action film with deadly superhero of Bollywood none other than Hrithik Roshan. This time it's not a remake but originally written by producer Aditya Chopra and Siddharth Anand along with Sridhar Raghavan wrote Screenplay and Abbas Tyerwala wrote the dialogues. Released exactly after 5 years of Bang Bang on Gandhi Jayanthi Holiday of 2nd October 2019.
Now point is what to expect from the director who made earlier action film with same protagonist, what to expect from the production house which made Dhoom series, Tiger series etc action masalas.
War released along with 2 more films one is Sye Raa by MEGASTAR CHIRANJEEVI in a lead role, another is Hollywood film's very appreciated and loved character Joker. Standing out at Box-Office along with these films is tough task but in India ratio of Mass audiences is much higher than class and main target of War is mass only. War is for those who like action, thriller, stylish, Hero oriented with full masala entertainment for 3 hours. Those who find logics in this kind of film will be disappointed, those who expect some unusual piece of cinema will not be satisfied with it. It's only for mass entertainer who just want to watch and get thrilled in action sequences, hand to hand hard hitting fight scenes, car chasing, bike stunts, with some unexpected twists and turns, a film in which two superheroes grooving on the dance floor and plus as seen in the trailer this time both the heroes are against each other. Hrithik VS Tiger.
Not gonna write much about the story but there are some more important points to be discussed. Screenplay is engaging and thank God it didn't bore me like Saaho's weak screenplay. All people were so excited for Saaho but then came the trailer of War and most of the audiences including me was waiting for it. Saaho turned out so bad not only critics but public also didn't like the film. Even the protagonist couldn't save the film like many times happened in Bollywood that if film fails to impress the audiences then the Hero is the one who takes the whole film on his shoulder and makes it worth watch for fans for example Dhoom 3, Chennai Express etc.
War has all the ingredients what a commercial film requires. Mainly it is an action film so it has so many MIND BLOWING action sequences, it's War film between Hero-Villain with so many twists and turns from starting to climax each new turn will give you wow feeling if you're die hard fan of hardcore suspense thriller. Definitely predictable but still people can enjoy the twists as film is so engaging. I personally liked many parts of the film but what i was expected before going to the theatre is only Actions Actions and Actions. I'm big fan of Hrithik Roshan since years. I'm so happy to see him in role of Kabir in this film like what i saw in 2006 Dhoom 2. I loved the style and stunts of Hrithik in Dhoom 2 and Krrish. Once again he made me fall in loved with his actions. No matter what critics will say but it's a sure shot entertaining film for me. yes agree that it's not the best film or best role ever played by Hrithik but yet it's not a bad like nowadays all those people spread messages who even haven't seen the film. It's enjoyable with Friends and Family. I loved many actions scenes except the one in Military Plane it wasn't well directed according to me while rest are MIND BLOWING, FANTASTIC, OUTSTANDING what Bollywood really needed since long time. It's fact that Indian audiences won't like these kind fo action films if Bollywood is making but if Hollywood is making the same then they'll love it. Like Fast and Furious series Indian people loved even i loved but i can't deny fact that Bollywood is also making some nice action entertainers not all but some are definitely great ones.
Music is ok but no so good like Dhoom 2. BGM is ok but not up to the mark. What made my eyes satisfied was Excellent cinematography by Benjamin Jasper. It was great watch of various landscapes of different places or countries. Awesome DOP work.
Performance by Vaani Kapoor is good as she has only small role, Anupria Goenka is damn good as always loved her in many roles, Ashutosh Rana is good but not a great from him.
Here challenging role was for Tiger Shroff. Tiger is still considered as new comer. Matching and standing out with a person who is in the film industry since two decades, who's much better actor than him, who has so much higher fan following than him is really very tough for Tiger. And specially when he's his Guru in the film and also in the real life. Yes Tiger learned so much from Hrithik Roshan. In fight sequence hitting on his chest or face must be difficult for Tiger as he admired him a lot but being in the job of acting he has to do. I loved stunts, fights and dance of Tiger Shroff since Heropanti but don't like his acting. He's below average actor for me but became big fan of his actions like Vidyut Jamwal.
This time Tiger's performance is quite better than his previous films and quite innocent role too. His entry fight is extremely good and he proves that he's so fit for the fights. But performance wise people will compare them so from my point of view he is nowhere close to Hirthik. (Guru Guru Hota Hai Chela Chela Hota Hai). He's assigned to eliminate Kabir (Hrithik) who was also Indian soldier once. Chasing sequence is the best scene of the film and i was so happy to see them together. Good luck to Tiger for better future. It's his best performance till date.
Now the mainly performance of Hrithik Roshan. It's an out and out Hrithik Roshan's film. The only superhero of Bollywood is back with bang. It gives me goosbumps when he's performing a high octane actions. Loved him since beginning of his career. Loved his action films as well as those in which he gave spectacular performance such as Jodha Akbar, Kaabil or recently released Super 30. I'm big fan of his charismatic swag. He's in full form here too. He's very successful and i count in the category post Khans, Kumar and Devgn. Undoubtedly finest actor cum star. It's rare combination of so much talent and look together. He's the perfect example of Handsome Hunk. As a Kabir he shines throughout the film. From his entry scene with Helicopter to stunts to bike chase to dialogues with Tiger etc fantastic and gave me joy. No matter what other actor casted besides him but from the core of my heart voice comes out that Hrithik Is Hrithik. No one can beat him in dance or actions or acting.
On the whole it was entertaining as i am a massy film lover i enjoyed it specially for BREATHTAKINGLY AWESOME Hrithik Roshan. Congratulations to Yash Raj Films for a sure shot hit.
My Ratings
3.7/5.
