For those who pooh pooh at Pakistani
Cinema,Waar comes as a shock.Why shock,because Pakistan can produce such
a high quality movie which leaves them stunned.I have personally
watched this movie and would recommend it to everyone and I am one who
has rarely sauntered into a cinema hall.So take my recommendation and do
watch this movie in a cinema hall nearest you. Here’s why
1- The theme of the
movie is terrorism which hits a chord with all of us,we are a witness to
many of the visuals shown in the movie including 2009 attack on Lahore
Police Academy.It would be akin to reliving experiences of everyday
life.It’s neither a fantasy nor a tale you could dismiss as ‘where does
it happen’.
2- It is a very
stylish movie,crane shots,aerial shots,close ups you name and they have
it all there.From grand mansions to ultra luxurious apartments to the
fort in Northern Pakistan everything and every moment is covered in
style.Even though the film is in 2D and not 3D,you would definitely
enjoy the shots taking.I can guarantee you that it’s something which you
haven’t seen in a Pakistani Movie before.
3- The movie showcases
Islamabad in a never before avatar.From Monal to basement of Margalla
Towers to Gun Club to Convention Center you have it all right here.Get
ready to fall in love in Islamabad all over again and for those of you
who have never been to the city,watch it in a glamourous avatar.
4- Shan is synonymous
with lacha-kurtas and gujar brand movies.This is your chance to watch
him in stylish denims puffing cigarettes and speaking English which
would put many to shame.Although his backstory is cliched,yet Shan plays
his character with such aplomb that you remain mesmerized even when the
end credits have rolled down.Watch Waar for this powerhouse of talent
if not anything else.
5- The villians duo
Meesha Shafi-Shamoon Abbasi put in equally powerful and convincing
performances.They appear sinister and evil to the core yet smart in
their own right.
6- The much talked
about ‘fake accents’ of actors in the movie.You need to watch it to
check out whose accent was fake.I personally found no fake accents.The
actors got schooling in institutions where such accents are common plus
Ayesha Khan grew up abroad,so you cannot blame actors for ‘fake accents’
still you can confirm on your own.
7- The loads and loads of
criticism heaped on the movie including from local sources (Geo,Express
Tribune,Jang,The News etc) and foreign sources (hindustan times,other
Indian newspapers,channels etc).If a movie generates so much hype,there
would be something about it that is upsetting so many people.What made
so-called liberals led by Hamid Mir,Nadeem Farooq Paracha,Rafay
Mahmood,Zarar Khoro etc (who munch on all anti-Pakistan movies willingly
and joyously) declare this a propaganda movie funded by ISPR.As if it
is the only propaganda movie ever made and as if they have proofs that
ISPR sponsored it.Give them anything anti-Pakistan they would love
it,anything Pro-Pakistan they would rise up.Plus why is a single movie
from Pakistan giving sleepless nights to Indian media and public so much
so that they are spitting venom against it.
8- The film has been
rated 8.3 on popular movies website IMDB.So it needs to be a good movie
if it has gotten such a rating at IMDB.This is also a slap on the faces
of those who are criticizing it for no reason.
9- It arises in you a
patriotic spirit like never before specially in the scene when Hamza
Abbasi goes to give a sacrifice and chants the national anthem or when
he says ‘un ka khayal hai ke yeh mulk la-waris hai’ besides many other
scenes.It also makes you realize the sacrifices your security forces
have given in this long war on terror.
10- Get to see
MI-17s,Cobras,other real ammunition used by security forces and
terrorists.The authenticity would stun you plus the action scenes have
been supervised by real police and military highups so it’s authenticity
galore.
