To Strike

EPIC!!... Worth watching & was worth waiting 3 years 4 it(after the trailer)... Da age of Gujjars & Dogers sort of movies in Pakistan is at an end.... 1st "Khuda K Liyay" then "Bol" and now "Waar", truly a marked difference in Lollywood mentality... A crystal clear picture of likely events prevailing in Pakistan ... Dark clouds and nightmares of this country & the efforts by each and every soul here to clear it... Patriotism & Devotion at its highest level is shown.... Top class actors of Pakistan ShowbizZz industry take the movie to an exceptionally different level.... True enemies of Pakistan are indirectly referred to as well ... Glamour, Money and Arsenal is posed in true color...

Considering the limitations and trends in local cinema Waar is truly a masterpiece. It outclasses most of Bollywood's action movies and is even better than some Hollywood Movies (Mind you if you are a fan of Hollywood action movies like Expendables etc. than believe me Waar is way better than any such movies). Though the dialogues and script had some flaws and weak points especially in connecting scenes but overall its a must watch. One may argue that the story is not new but believe me its execution is something that is new for this part of the world. On the other hand it also had some scenes that were outstanding, exceptional, mind blowing and superb. The action, the cinematography, acting and direction were outstanding. Action, Thrill, Drama, Humor and a little romance.... name anything that a movie should have in it and you will find each n everything in this movie. For me it is 9/10 (-1 for some minor flaws in script, story and connecting scenes). I would highly recommend that it is a must watch movie but plzzz don't wait for torrents and pirated copies of this movie go and watch it in cinemas near you as I believe we all should support such projects by contributing our bit.

After watching the theatrical trailer of Waar a month or so ago, I was extremely excited about watching this big budget, action movie. Its not everyday that a slick looking film comes out of Pakistan.

However, after sitting through the nearly 140 minute film, I felt Proud and Don't really expected that it will be a Blockbuster and record broker Movie of Era and A solid stand to our Country and Film Industry as well.

The cinematography is Marvelous, with some Extra ordinary action sequences which was never been scened before in our Films.

It will take Revolution to Pakistani cinema after a long time. The signs are positive, but there is still a long way to go.

I am really a film lover.But First time I saw a Pakistani film that is incredible to see. Although it is hard to describe it in few lines. But the director did his job to his best and available sources. Some scenes are very awesome and remarkable.One could imagine that it could be a Hollywood standard film. The make of the film, made the WAAR first film in Pakistan history that will break all previous records in Pakistani cinema.DOP is really good. Aerial scenes are credit of the director.There are some weaknesses but could ignore it.I believe that Director Mr. Bilal will do his best next time. And we will see his abilities soon. It is revival of the Pakistani cinema. Houseful tags are hanging outside the cinema gates. I give the credit to all the WAAR team. who gave the Pakistani people a fresh stance after long time. And have the good wishes to all, those made it possible. Especially thanks to ARY and its efforts for Pakistani cinema.

Before i start,i want to clarify that I'm not a reviewer but merely a movie fanatic,so please excuse my poor language.

Watch this movie for Spectacular edge-of-the-seat Action Sequences,A Strong Plot,Some Top-Notch Acting and the Best Music Score ever in a Pakistani movie,It totally delivers what was promised in the trailer.For a Pakistani movie,this is extremely good and an Average Pakistani will surely enjoy it.Great job by the whole team,especially Mr.Bilal Lashari,you sir have proved that Pakistan can come out of watching dumb downed action movies.I'm looking forward to your next project.Extremely well job for someone so young and talented.It was worth the wait.

Detalied Review:

-Visually Spectacular,eye candy scenes,Top-Notch Action Sequences and Cinematography.The Action Sequences are gripping and on par with level of Hollywood movies,and the Screenplay is handled perfectly,except for a few scenes,the movie doesn't lag throughout it's length,which I think is the best trait of an action thriller.Extremely well job by the whole Editing team for bringing us this great cinematic experience.

-Direction is fresh and beautifully handled.Bilal Lashari delivered what he promised,and should be called a true perfectionist.His talent and enthusiasm reflects in each and every scene.The scene with the blend of Meesha and Shamoon's Waltz with Terrorist attack on police academy was an experiment done well.

-Plot wise,the movie is a bit biased against India,but that's pretty much the truth we face today,it's RAW vs PAK throughout the movie,a few plot holes here and there but it won't disappoint.It is very solid and true to a great extent,shows us the facts that caused our current scenario.Thumbs up to Mr.Hassan Rana,who did a fine job.What i loved about it was that it doesn't offend the intelligence of the viewer.The whole movie was handled perfectly except the ending,which i think was was poorly executed and hurried.The melodrama should have been avoided.That's the reason I rate it 8/10

-Acting wise,everyone did justice to their roles,particular mentions to Ayesha Khan and Hamza Abbasi for the brilliant chemistry,and Shaan was exceptional in his role of course,you give him a justified role,he can prove that he's so much more than an undead village superhero like his previous movies,with Khuda Ke Liye and Waar,he proves he is the best,and not in any way,less than any great actor you see in Bollywood or Hollywood.He is slowly evolving to perfection with each movie. thumbs up to Ali Azmat and Meesha Shafi who played their parts extremely well and made a great debut.Shamoon Abbasi fit perfectly in his role as a villain,he is evil and a perfect opposite match for Shaan.

-Character Roles were a bit poorly developed and should have been given more thought.Dialogues were perfect,enjoyable and a wave of clapping pursued whenever Shaan came on-screen with his witty remarks.The Decision to shoot 90% of this movie in English can be justified,majority can understand the movie but i saw a guy sitting there who was being translated each and every scene in Urdu by his friend so he can understand what's happening,although Urdu Subtitles were available.

-The Music Score of the movie is something worth particular mention,extremely great job by Amir Munawar and the whole team,the score is what that makes the scenes feel interesting and enthusiastic.The songs were emotional and energetic.

On the whole,it was an enjoyable experience and we are proud to see Pakistanis coming forward and making great cinema.Don't miss it! It's a MUST-WATCH!
