Pippa

An immersive war film experience without the unnecessary chauvinistic nationalistic pomp and show-I enjoyed the film thoroughly. And yes! I wasn't really aware of the details of the war of '71, precisely the Battle of Garibpur, and how India helped East Pakistan (Bangladesh) attain liberation from West Pakistan.

The story of three siblings is straightforward and neat. The rift between the brothers was interesting. I am glad the makers didn't burden our protagonist with a love interest. The war scenes-WOW-beautifully designed. The locations where the film is shot contributed immensely. I believe not much of VFX has gone into the film. The tank battles could have been dealt with better. Underproduction? Small budget ? Maybe the reason, but whenever PIPPA was in the water, I was watching without a blink. Ishan worked for me as an actor mostly. Imaamulhaq was brilliant.

The visuals are for the theatre, and cinematographer Priya Seth did an excellent job, especially during the war sequences; the camera immersed me. Director Raja Krishna Menon did commendably as well-the setup, the war sequences were well done. I had teary eyes more than once.

On the flip side, the pacing gets slow towards the end. The climax is underwhelming indeed. Edits at some places were abrupt; also, the makers could have shortened the film. The background score was changing tones, so it worked for me only in parts. AR Rahman sir didn't impress. I wish the film had seen the theaters. Pippa Pippa, "Ghee da dibba," is a victory indeed.

I think budget of the movie is limited to production of movie are very average.in writing movie lack the depth.u will feel that story is in hurry and leader role should be goven to priyanshu Painyuli rather than overacting ki dukaan Ishan khattar.whenever Priyanshu aka Ram Mehta come at screen he will let u feel that serious war movie is going on but when Ishaan khattar use to come on screen he literally destroyed the whole movie by his overacting. Mrinal thakur is okish in yhis movie bcz she don't have much to do, but whenever Ram Mehta and Soni Razdan come to screen then u will feel the movie n top notch acting.i think this movie is written in hurry without deep work,with less production cost at many places u willfeel like some kindy of fauji serial is running of the screen. They can do far far better than this.so i will give it 5 /10 ⭐

Pippa, the movie revolves around the moment of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971,an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that occurred during the Bangladesh Liberation War in East Pakistan.

Ishaan's performance is looking quite impressive in this movie. His stubborn nature makes his character Balli more crystal clear towards his aim and duty for his country. Priyanshu is growing day by day by doing this type of work. His effort is glowing through his performance. Also Mrunal has done a sweet and effective role.

Overall Pippa is a good watch for all type of audience to know the value of our Indian Army who never give up to fight till their last drop of blood.

The story based on the book " The Burning Chaffees" by Brigadier Balram Mehta has been put forth as film Script brilliantly by Raja menon and his team...With Arr onboard what could be the best thing one can get...

Pippa is one of the brilliantly made films on wars that stand out due to its spontaneous events and not build ups.

It gives a view of a part of the 1971 Indo Pak war that liberated Bangladesh. It shows patriotism and valour in a beautiful way...

The cast has done a great job - especially Ishaan khattar shoulders the entire film. He has put out huge efforts starting from dancing to action sequences.( The starting dance number is excellent)...

While our Mozart of Madras brings out the soul of every martyrs with his brilliant composition and bgm are the core asset of the movie...

Overall the film brings out the morality of Bangladesh crisis stating that " Refuge is a faceless crowd" so give it a try you won't be disappointed...

The movie is americanised. The dialogues, accent, the lingo used by military personnel is all americanised. I am actually thinking, what american shows were they watching to learn such things or is these some American Training on how to hollywood style, also with guitar and drums playing in the background.

And then we have bollywood masala or songs and dance numbers.

If you are building a war movie, then build a war movie... why put all this bollywood magic masala and old formula. I was just waiting for some item number to pop up.

Instead, they could have dove deeper into the politics of it, the history of East Pakistan, Bangladesh, Mukti Bahini.
