Waar (2013)

Charming and brutal

Absolutely Fantastic

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I was struggling to understand the story. They tried too hard to make it look like a Hollywood movie but they failed miserably.The funniest part was they were speaking in English with American accent. In spite of this being a Pakistan movie i mean c'momI have seen many amazing Pakistani movies like bol and khuda ke liye etc.. But this movie was garbage. Don't waste your time watching this movie

I have watched a lot of Bollywood flicks - silly ones and serious ones. I have also watched one Pakistani movie called Khuda Ke Liye, and Reluctant Fundamentalist by an Indian director and thought both movies were fantastic. So when I saw this on similar subject matter, and the fantastic ratings, I watched it right away. I couldn't believe how bad this movie is. Forget Hollywood, it's C grade compared to Bollywood also (from whatever I've seen). Thought for a while I had the wrong movie. Unbelievable plot, bad acting, terrible continuity. Only convenient thing was that the movie was mostly in English, so I didn't lose a lot of the language nuances in subtitles as I do with other Bollywood/Pakistani flicks.But seriously, this movie was so bad, that I'm appalled anyone rated it so highly. And then I thought I'd read the good reviews here to see what I'm missing, and the reviews appall me even more. It seems everyone in Pakistan is obsessed with their neighbor India, and because this movie has a mob-rousing plot against India, they're rating it high. Also because it's the "biggest budget" Pakistani film. When you spend so much money and make something so bad, isn't it more embarrassing? Please don't waste your time if you're actually looking for a good movie or entertainment. Don't believe the high rating at all. They're not for the movie, but for mindless jingoistic nationalism. Avoid!

Let me start by saying this why do people keep bringing this up 'best Pakistani film' etc? Waar puts many Hollywood films to shame specially the junk that has been produced over there in recent times. How on earth can someone in the right state of mind can even begin to compare this masterpiece to other mega-productions that massively fail to impress & lack the essence of film making.Don't get me wrong there are obviously some really good Hollywood productions that I can watch over & over again & waar goes right up there in my top 10 best movies of all time list, which is quite a statement. I have seen them all from sin city to sexy beast, from 300 to shawshank redemption as well as the original old boy. This stunner & absolutely quality production deserves a place right up there with the well deserving titles.Well done to all that were involved in the making of this masterpiece, incredible & breath-taking film making at its best! Learn from it this is how movies are made. A well deserving 10/10!! If you haven't seen this masterpiece yet do yourself a favour stop what you are doing & watch it, even if you have to watch it on a DVD, Enjoy!

I must say I was disappointed watching this film. It was long and tedious, and I was wishing for it to end. Let me start of saying that the character development is flawed. New characters appeared scene after scene without any description and the focus fluctuated from one actor to the other leaving the audience without any main focal point. Secondly the plot has many loop holes. The idea was great but wasn't executed. The editing is very choppy as the scenes do not seem to go in a flow. Seemed like a roller coaster jumping from one scene to the next, a result of poor editing. The only good aspect of the movie was Shaan. He is a terrific actor and he played his role well. Overall this movie isn't worth your time.
