Beautiful, moving film.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

SPOILER REVIEWThis movie is just awesome with a great message. The movie is very funny from the beginning till the end. It's a feel good movie and the best movie of the year for me. The story is about friendly Indian and Pakistani soldiers but the situations force them to fight for their country. Through a reporter both the countries become friendly at last. The dialogues are very funny. Songs are not too special. But the movie is very funny and nice with a great message. Acting is also very nice. This is a very unique movie. I highly recommend this movie. My ratings- 10 out of 10.

Bollywood tries its hand at a war comedy, of course borrowing heavily from other film industries, but fails abruptly because the intended humor, slapstick or whatever foolishness they carve out of the plot bangs on the audience's faces and disappears.The dialogs, a strong point used to induce humor here, not only does causes boredom but also makes no sense at all. I like the idea of the witty remarks at the media & politics, but I didn't find any reason to laugh at their off-blown jokes. Nation leaders playing games on their smart-phones is funny but the same leader taking a sh*t while in a conference with other leaders is not jocular. I see where the writers are inspired from, but Hollywood war-comedies are far better.There is no logic in the story, but yeah, the characters are tad funny. Their performances are below average and I still cannot fathom what Soha Ali Khan was doing there. Songs looked like additive and over the 2- hours I might have chuckled 2 or 3 times.BOTTOM LINE: A failed attempt at something that requires the makers to have a huge sense of humor, which evidently they haven't.Skip!

"War Chod Na Yaar" is a movie that will not appeal to the mass. It is a movie for the class. Amazing cinematography, sarcastic plot, sheer use of humor, good makeup and Dilip Taahil's excellent acting takes it to the top. The music is very average and fails to make an impression. The transparency of media and the role of politicians have been portrayed appropriately in the movie. It is not simply a movie, it is a message to mankind. Though extremely Utopian, the movie shows how love and friendship can topple war. The use of puns has been very accurate. Actors are at their best. However, the army of the neighboring country has been portrayed in a manner that is often insulting. It is indeed a huge discredit. But overall, the movie successfully impresses the viewers and makes a mark. Still it is not a movie for the mass, but for the class only.

The movie starts with both leaders of the respective army playing cards at the border in late night and this is unknown to rest all the soldiers of both the sides.The movie then unfolds to the stories happened 18 hours back and comes to the present till interval and then heads for the second half.Here, we are shown how the media and political groups are hungry for attention and also getting awakened at the time when it was needed the most.War chodd na yaar shows something that is actually known but always been held as a covert stuff just because of the agenda of the people at the top.WCNY mostly focuses on the sentiments of the people from both the sides, the soldiers as well as the common people. Watch out for the scenes where an Indian girl chats with a Pakistani guy on FB about the things happening at the border.The movie will be remembered for the comic timing and a common subject dealt with a different view. Direction by Faraz Haider is promising.Performances are top notch from all the actors. Sharman,Javed Jaffrey , Soha Ali Khan and Mukul Dev are brilliant. Special mention for Mr.Dalip Tahil who plays four roles at the same time and does it with zeal. Sanjay Mishra and Manoj Pahwa also don't look underused.Songs are good but the song at the start showing soha falling for sharman and only capturing him in her camera could have been avoided.In all its a refreshing change from the path that is always taken by Bollywood comedy movies. There is no room for boredom here.For the team of WCNY, i would dedicate this quote of Ralph Waldo Emerson ,"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. "Tis movie has achieved it.
