A Disappointing Continuation
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Loosely based in one of my favorite American martial arts movies "Best of the best", this Indian martial arts film has a clear message of friendship between two nations, India and Pakistan but although of that, the film was not released in Pakistan because they considered that the movie shows the country in bad light..The musical moments are much more tolerable than in other Idian films that I've watched, here are just part of the story and nobody suddenly begins to dance and sing crazily for over ten minutes Emoticono tongue but the weakest point of the movie are the fights in the ring, nothing spectacular, slow and sometimes even clumsy, it is very obvious that none of the actors has a martial arts background...
A shamefully one-sided and unrealistic film, as childish as children's cartoons where one guy is portrayed as hero who always does the right thing and the other as villain who always does the wrong things, apparently made by a bunch of idiots who first of all know absolutely nothing about Pakistan, and who only promote hatred and propaganda. I was highly disappointed given that this film got some accolades at the level of national film awards. From cheap acting to lousy screenplay and direction to the fact that it is not even remotely true to the ground realities, it is a shamefully disappointing effort. The fact that this film won accolades at the national level in India itself contradicts the propaganda the film tries to promote, i.e. India's willingness to promote peace and resolve tensions between the two countries.
if you want TO MAKE REMAKE A FILM LIKE "BEST OF THE BEST" THEN YOU SHOULD PREPARE YOUR SELF FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING with movie the story is same but character detailing and action sequences are not even 50 percent of original movie.i think movie is just hit because of its made diplomatic controversy between India and Pakistan. in this i think they shouldn't involve cricket.technically is not acceptable that one cricketer change his line to get revenge of his brotherbut i still give it five star because if you don't seen the original one then i am sure you will like it and enjoy it.
I watched this movie today and definitely came back with a stirred heart. Well, before I get carried away let me share the USPs of this movie: [1.] commendable performances by all the actors although there was no big star cast[2.] slick kick boxing stunt scenes, very clean and sophisticatedHowever, this movie had its own share of flaws: [1.] The movie failed to show the closeness of the relationship between the brothers in the first half which was pivotal to the plot. Instead, the lead actor seemed more close to his sister-in-law than to his brother. [2.] In the second half there should have been some sequence showing the kick-boxing training given to Aanaahad since he was basically a cricket player trying to fill in his brother's shoes [3.] The ending of the movie was a bit too melodramatic. I think it could have been more practical.Overall, it was a good movie that keeps you gripped all the way through.
