What is the point in sharing comments when you are not ready to publish it, if the comments are criticising the reviewer. If you are only ready to publish sugar-coated comments, then please state so. Either you guys should have the courage to publish criticism from readers or remove this "genrous" share-your-comments thingy alltogether.
in my previous post yesterday, i pointed out the bias of Paresh when reviewing Mohanlal's movies. Rediff conveniently suppressed it. Why? Instead you guys should have checked his previous reviews about Mohanlal movies and you would have realised yourself what i was talking about.
Come on, "ignore" this comment too. What else you guys could do?

Are you a Pakistan spy or a mamooty fan?
The film is very much from the perspective of Kashmir and not Kargil. The gang rape which is being depicted is what occurs in the valley.It could be gruesome but by not mentioning it in the perspective of the people of Kashmir is just like covering a hole using darkness
its strange that a movie as keerthichakra is being heralded as commendable. the efforts behind it are noteworthy, at its best, but neither laudable nor significant. its too apparent that patriotism is not in the film maker's minds that is further emphasised by cliches galore and the ghastly gang rape that is nothing less than revolting.
we have had any number of war films, and umpteen ones on kargil already, and keerthichakra is no match up to several of those head-turners. at best, it cud perhaps quench a Lal-obsessed viewer's thirst. ntohing more.
films are meant for entertainment , keerthichakra lives up [only up] to that level. One should watch documentaries in BBC , CNN or Star plus if you are looking for true facts .Don't blame the film to be far from from reality

Hi Sharminda.. Why do you want anti-Nationalist to go to Nepal???...I fail to understand.. Satish
When it comes to comment about Mohanlal, undoubtedly one of the finest actors in India, you seem to find all lame excuses to describe " him.
"The casting of Mohanlal as the protagonist is near perfect though people may complain that his bulky physique doesn't suit the role of a commando."
Which people are you talking about? i have also seen the movie and met many who watched it. No one have such a view. So which people sir?
Why do you have to focus on his physical appearance when you have to review about his acting. This is not the first time you have deliberatly trying to pull down a superb actor. It would be better for you to re-read your past reviews regarding Mohanlal pictures. I haven't come accross such sort of appearance-discussion when you review the movies of other Malayalam actors. why? may i know? Please talk about the way one acts. give credit where it is due. Millions of Malayalees love this actor not because of his glamour, but because of his incredible acting capability.
Having said that, i have to thank rediff for the excellent backing for this wonderful actor from time to time, especially through Shobha Warrier's articles. Thanks
However the review could be treated, it missed the most important point... the finesse and authenticity which commando operations are filmed.. this film is matchless.. the way major ravi had captured the diabolic mix of tension and clinical precision in those action sequences is quite novel to the indian screen... critics have to stop raving about mohanlal's acting skills.. he has reached a stage that needs to be taken for granted...again due credit to be given to jeeva who gave his best shot to get closer to the thespian frame to frame.. ravi would have sought some external help in scripting as sequencing lacks smoothness... whatever... though jingoistic by parts, the film is indeed a landmark one, in terms of the look, feel and absolute presentation...
