Hi all, I agree that few of the viewers are disappointed with the movie..yeah i was also disappointed cause i thought it would instill some patriotism in the young indian minds by depicting our brave jawans like in Border.even today when I watch border my blood boils...the songs in border were truly inspiring.. but let us not show our disaapointment cause atleast J.P Dutta has attempted to immortalise these jawans before the india youth forget what they have done for us..i guess by trying to portray the female firebrands he devaited from his objective as it got too commercial here..i wish he could have told the audience the temperature at which they fought and most importantly since they weren,t prepared for this sudden war..they weren,t even prepared with comfortable shoes or gloves and many lost their fingers and toes to frostbite...i guess these minor but highly deserving points were missing inspite of him having taken notes in 20 notebooks...
I occasionally watch films...but when this film(LOC)was being made, I thought that i will watch this film. So when the film released i watched the First day First show. The reasons behind my seeing of the film was pretty simple I wanted to see that how our brave soilders defeated the intruders.
As we celebrate our Republic Day in January we have to remember our hundreds of soldiers who had laid down thier lifes to protect our freedom.We proud of our brave Indian soldiers.
I havent seen the movie but have read a lot of reviews and that makes me want to see the movie. Dutta and his cast is being congratulated and is being talked about so much, isnt it amazing that not many people posted so many messages when Kargil war actually happened? Not many congratulated the REAL HEROES... Don't get me wrong, but i just dont understand the mentality of people, they have the time to talk about movies but not about the real situations? I am glad such movies bring the reality to people !!
What is wrong with every reviewer? Why does not even one of them have the guts to stand up and say the actual truth? LOC is a below average movie and with all the hype surrounding it, a complete disappointment. The brave soldiers who laid their lives for the country and for whom this movie was supposed to be a tribute are reduced to absolute caricatures by J. P. Dutta with sufficient help from his overbloated, incompetent cast. Including inept actors like Karan Nath, Himanshu Malik, Puru Raj Kumar (letting him depict a soldier after what he did in 1993 is a sin on Mr. Dutta's part), Amar Upadhyay, Bikram Saluja etc. is certainly not my idea of trying to make a great movie. There is not a single moment in this movie which makes you feel really proud of our soldiers. All Mr. Dutta really achieves is giving every member of his humongous cast some footage and in the process completely destroys the excellent subject matter he had at his disposal.
LOC is four hours of excessive boredom, a shoddy piece of cinema, an insipid, sluggish and very very mediocre movie that instead of being a tribute to our soldiers, ends up as a grave injustice to them.

I think you are a bad viewer. who told you to watch LOC. Go and watch Mushy mushy love stories of KaranJohar and useless Hrithik Roshan's ciruss. for your kind info LOC is a super duper hit and as long as the guy like you are out it's blessing for us.

I feel that depicting a real war in a movies is differant from making a stearotype love story. I congratulate JP Dutta for his efforts in bringing the heros of war to lime lite. I remenber the day of sacrifice of Vikrm Batra and his intervies conducted by Barkha Dutt in actual war conditions in 1999. The Scenes in the movies are near to actual war condition. No body can actully picturise a movie when the war is on. What dutta has done we should look at the brighter part of that.

If you have such problems in viewing the film,then it would have been better that u would have directed the film instead and if not directed then worked.u don't think of the effort made by J.P. Dutta.Its just like making one feel that his efforts are useless and a waste of time.

I think you need to learn some lessons reagrding good movies. I think you must be fond of Karan Johar type of movies.
This is a movie which every Indian must watch particularly those of Gen X&Y because we should also have patriotic values like that of soldiers who died durin kargil war My salute 2 those officers who sacrificed their live 4 motherland I am giving my full points to JP Dutta &his team for this patriotic production Jai Hind Jai Bharat Maa Vande Mataram Pranav Prasad

I think "Something is better than nothing". I appologize to vipul first) on part of the brave soldiers who fought this war and second) Mr. J.P. Dutta and his team who tried to make a movie on this theme. In addition I am also sorry for the fact why you were not given a chance to make a movie. You should not watch the movie with only actors/acting perspective. May be then you will be able to appreciate the movie. My brother is also in the armed forces..and the details that the movie shows is worth appreciating.
Hi all, After reading all your views,I sincerely appreciate thata few of you have spoken my language..though young in experience,I have always held our indian army in high esteem cause its because of them we are able to live in peace.As much as I hate the pakistanis cause of heir evil intenions,I do think by extending our hand in peace,we might avert another war and save our precious army lives..inspite of this if the pakis back stab us once again,then we need to take them once and for all..I would like to work or some NGO,s dealing with families who lost their loved ones in war.any advise...and pls anyone wanna exchange views,kindly mail me.Mt email id is given below...anjali_patriotic@rediffmail.com or anjali_patriotic@yahoo.com
