Storyline: The story is 1962 , even after independence, India is still facing challenges from Pakistan and China , The.

Technical Review : The Director Razy has given us a spectacular war film , it is based on real events , that happened, and unknown many of us .The screenplay of the movie is good , the war sequences keep you engaging .The first half is something that we be have seen in many war movies like Border etc , The second half is good and keeps the audience hooked , the war locations in Ladakh is too good to be missed.
The music is average though it could have lifted the screenplay.

Performances:Farhan Akhtar has returned to acting after nearly 4years and he has put his soul in his character . He is too good .Rashi Khanna as Farhan’s wife Sagun is lovely .From the armymen, debutant Sparsh Walia (Radio Operator Ramchander Yadav) gets the maximum screen time and he delivers a very fine performance..Others are also good as per their role
