Okay, not what I was expecting. It looks the war is only going to be in the background. Almost 2-3 scenes. Its impact, the destruction and the turmoil it caused also not being there is my worry.
There are thing that I absolute loved, but a few scenes give me pause as well. The cinematography looks great (is it the same DOP as Haider)? Those wide shots look amazing.
It feels too, I don't know, vibrant for a world war. The scenes with Shahid are where the problem is. It is like they are on a vacation not on the front lines. Maybe its just the scenes they used and they are saving the real stuff. But why would you do that?
There isn't that rawness, that dread, the misery that you would expect in such a setting. The hints are there and I do hope that the movie is a different thing than what the trailer shows.
I have faith in Bhardwaj to pull it through. He is too good a director to let this opportunity to offer some commentary on WW2 an war in general to go by. Look at what he did with the Kashmir situation in Haider.
If that is not the case though, I don't think it is going to be that good.
Saif is brilliant here, seeing him really act after ages. 👏 Kangana is solid too, that scene where here character say, ke wo tum jaiseoon se muhabbat kar sakay, you can tell she has seen bad times. Its pretty well acted. Need to see more of Shahid to say anything but he does fine what he has in these scenes.
The trailer shows too much, you can pretty much piece the 3rd act from the footage. The editing is not that good either. There better be some stuff left.
