Well, this was a roller coaster ride between drama and action, spiced up with a lofentanil-induced patriotism that i havent seen on film since the cold war between east and west in the 70's a 80's. also the presentation of the pakistanis as the stupid neighbour both in the dialouges and action, really hits the bullseye of ultra-indian patriotism.

but the action sequences of the film are blockbuster worthy, though the pyrotechnicians and bomb makers seems more interested in fireworks than what happens when a bullitt hits different material. we are also overloaded with info about where and when that flashes on the screen more than nescesarry.

the score makes suspence to the action, but damages the drama, there are also some strange intermissions made by the editor that raised my eyebrows more than once.

but in the end it delivers what the indian people wants, and thereby puts another kettle on the stove to boil up even more negativism about pakistan and the feud over khasmir. why they fight over this area, are not for making more lebensraum, i guess its because of the water resources stored in the khasmir mountains that has made this mess, including a bit religous differences and so on.

well worth a look, but dont expect too much, the grumpy old man thinks
