Ok so here is my two cents about the movie. I also HEARD a lot of GOOD THINGS about this movie before I decided to watch it few weeks back and actually DID watch it. Good movie, descent performances by most of the actors, thought provoking message of course, for which the movie was/is hyped about the most. Nevertheless, I am still NOT convinced by the way in which the film tells the youth to contribute for their countries. In my opinion, I think the movie showed a bit too much MASALA, as any other bollywood movies are entitled to, by killing of the minister and then confession by the protagonists on air (live on radio) about the killing, then the protagonists getting killed one after the other and so on. While it is heartening to see the relevance and necessity of the message the movie is trying to convey to the youth of a nation, more so REALISTIC in our case at present, who would BELIEVE that one has to actually DIE in today's time, just like the martyrs did in the history, to contribute for the nation? I mean com'on now, there are loads of other ways by which youth can contribute for the betterment of any nation no matter how hopeless the condition of the country is. While the message from the movie is thought provoking one, the way it entails looks UNREALISTIC and INCONVINCING. All in all, a good movie worth a watch, but be ready for some unrealistic MASALAS.
