Just want to say one thing about this movie: watch Hindi movie "1971" first, and then watch this one. you'll know the defects and cheapness of this movie.
I agree that it's a movie, and therefore will be dramatized. But this much!!! Totally unrealistic. You might want to laugh at some very serious scenes here.
Don't want to waste my time reviewing about this movie. If you want to watch a movie on war between India and Pakistan, then watch Border, Tango Charlie, 1971 or Hero. But never this one. The standard of the movie is that of 80s.
Watch this one if you want to get frustrated with the director, screenplay, actors and yourself.

Directors in Bollywood are requested to try something new. Create your own script. Many films have been made on the Indo-Pakistani war, but there is nothing exaggerated about any of them.
Two movies back to back which dealt with Indian POWs; Veer Zaara and Deewaar. Although Veer Zara was a love story of a guy who gives everything up for someone, Deewaar focuses on the main subject itself. It is not hidden that many Indian POWs are rotting in Pakistani Jails for years - for whom neither Indian Govt. has time or sympathy nor the other side. I'm sure some of Pakistani POWs are in India as well, but let's focus on the movie. Full of actors. Some were stage actors like Raghubir Yadav, Rajendra Gupta, etc. Amitabh Bachchan who plays the role of a Major, acted well. Akshaye Khanna did his part well. There was nothing for Amrita Rao to do than a few giggles and couple songs. I think Sanjay Dutt's role was most solid even though it wasn't too long. He acted really well here and his dialog delivery was also impressive. If you compare it to LOC, which was nothing but a day long movie with story going in all directions (if it HAD a story) - Deewaar is a well directed movie that keeps a good pace and does justice to all actors. 7.5/10
Come on! Get over with the Pakistan bashing guys. Bollywood can not only make brilliant movies- but can seriously affect a generation of viewers.
I am a HUGE Bollywood fan- but anti-Pakistan movies just make me wince too much to enjoy screenplay, cinematography, action sequences- everything.
I'm really happy to see that viewers on both sides of the border are rejecting propaganda, and there are movies like Main Hoon Na out there that have done brilliantly not only because they deserved to because of the quality of its Bollywood masala- but also because it tries to say: give peace a chance and shows that there are crazies out there on both sides who do not represent the masses.

The attempt to make a good movie should be lauded, in this instance an off-beat Movie that exemplies the bravery of the Indian Army over the Coward dogs that are the captors. The Script is good but I donot see a patriotic son in an attempt to save his father dallying with twins, this is obviously for the demented,degenerate front benchers who are used to equally demented lowlife actors like Sharukh khan in mindless popsicle movies by pubescent directors. Bachchan is good and Dutt is getting better. The movie keeps you glued, has some authentic scenes. The movie is good and we need more of them instead of the trash that is being dished out with same Cast,same choreography,same locations, same jokes. These movies bring back some long needed dignity to the Indian Cinema.

- TriviaThe launch of this movie was different in the sense that there was no coconut-breaking ritual or sounding-the-clapperboard ceremony. Instead the lead men Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna unveiled their giant-sized pictures and clicked the remote for the screening of the one-minute promo.
- GoofsAmitabh Bachchan is shown to be in Pakistani jail since 1971 which makes it 33 years in 2004.Akshay Khanna who plays his son in the film is shown as 30 year old man.
