I will only watch this movie if there are no song and dance routines. I was very upset when "Kargil" was turned into a masala movie. It of course came of no surprise when I overheard two second generation Indian american girls scoff and say "like this could ever happen for real" I just hope this time around the movie makers stick to good movie making.

hi,
i think the song "do pal mujhe rokthe hai" - one all the stars sing while their hubby's are leaving, really captured the mood of the movie, i felt somewhat same feeling in my mom when my dad used to go to this dangerous places at kashmir.
Songs help capture the true emotions, and in western movies there were songs & actors used to lip-sing in the 40's & 50's, now they play it in background, & even that never happen in real do they?
have you ever heard "pretty women " at the background while your girlfriend shop with your credit card!!???

I don't mind music for emotional effect in the background. I think good music is part of good film. The lip syncing thing drives me nuts because it's downright comical (not in a good way) and makes it difficult for one to take the movie seriously. You are right, up until the 50s American movies used to have actors lip-sync. Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra and even the late president Ronald Regan were famous for these roles. But the movie industry matured, which is exactly what I am hoping for the Indian film industry. Right now the only maturing effect of the film industry I see are a new generation of actors and actresses willing to show more skin and sport fake (pathetic) accents. I'd much rather they not attempt to emulate the west and rather worked on their own originality.
PS. Ironically my girfriend makes more money than I do. Maybe I should use her credit cards to shop :-/

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Fred Astaire and Frank Sinatra sang their own songs and Sinatra was a legendary singer. As was Julie Andrews in "Sound of Music" and Olivia Newton John in "Grease." Even Marlon Brando sang his own song in "Guys and Dolls." Something he regretted.
leaving the 93000 aive was biggest blunder commited by modern India. It gave way to the SOFT STATE and SOFT TARGET theory. Shame on politicians for that decisions. They should have been brought to book on law. We wouldnt have the problems we face toady if we had been stern that time.
Even 35 years after the war, there are still bangladeshi immigrants pouring into India through West Bengal and Assam...and our beloved Congress and so-called secular marxist parties are turning a blind eye towards this imminent crisis for our country. Instead of restricting this they are planning to give citizenship to these people to increase their votebank, and let the country go to dogs. Winston Churchill once said Indians are not fit to rule themselves. How true!

And what did the saffron-clad imbeciles do about this while they were in power for FIVE YEARS?
They were too fixated on 'important tasks,' like knocking down a Mosque or two.

waiting for that one day when pakistan and all other countries waging cold war against india crumbles to dust
I duly hope, the director and film producer, has preesented it perspectively, as it leads to sentiments of Indian's, who families are stuck in Pak, as POW. I just wish that these guys evoke the Indian authorities to address this again, so that those soldiers are back to their home country and where they belong to the loved ones.
Would you do your job seriously what you are writing that "India's enemy surrendered unconditionally", in the very first sentense. it's grossly mistake. It was not India's army but Pakistan's army. Correct article ASAP.
