Lakshya

It is not about Indo-Pak or Kargil.

No it doesn’t have Sunny Deol swearing in Punjabi to his counterpart across the border...phew!!

He starts his day late with his servant coming with orange juice saying " Dadabhai, juice”...then the gyser is turned on for him by obedient servant. Then all friends and no work. Thats life for Karan Shergill.Contrast, Best pal - Romy is focused on making it to Barkha Dutt i.e. brave journalist and newsreader...well aware of her 'Lakshya'.
Our 'dadabhai' goes through a quarter-life crisis- Feeling alone, insecure and scared. Next, he joins the army and the laid-back life goes for a six (you also have a new haircut).

To get back the 'peak' captured by Pakis becomes his 'Lakshya'.

-Om Puri, Amrish Puri, Amitabh and Boman Irani have a cameo role. Farhan Akhtar has used them well, unlike some directors who would put them above the script of the film. (Another director would have made Amitabh sing a number on Tiger hills with the hospital nurse about India while his army colleagues were deancing and then would have wondered why the movie didn’t do well inspite of BigB’s presence)
-Songs come at appropriate places.Javed Akhtar for lyrics.
-Thankfully, No romance on Tiger hills.
-Pakis are given some status ; They have been given brains.
-A bit of a drag during wartime.

7/10.

P.S.- 'Cliffhanger' rock-climbing scenes is new. So is the Prabhu Deva choreographed number.
