How do you follow a debut like the hit coming-of-age comedy Dil Chahta Hai? Well, the movie's director Farhan Akhtar brought his famous father, Javed Akhtar, out of semi-retirement to script this epic tale of a spoilt brat's discovery of his true self on the field of combat. Some will see comparisons with Govind Nihalani's 1983 film Vijeta, as wastrel Hrithik Roshan is persuaded by journalist girlfriend Preity Zinta to seek a purpose in life and enrol as an army cadet under Colonel Amitabh Bachchan. Nevertheless, this remains a full-throttled adventure that makes spectacular use of the mountain scenery around Ladakh.
The script and potrayal of chracters is done very well. The characters are quite imaginable.(For the first time a war movie made in bollywood shows hero's hair trimmed army style.) Hrithik shows he can act without being overdramatic. If you are sharukh fan you probably wont like this movie. No fantasy stuff here.Full marks to Farhan for giving bollywood viewers some believable war footage.
Another good film by Farhan Akhtar in the form of Lakshya. Hrithik Roshan fits his character to the T and emerges trumps. Another great performance by Hrithik Roshan to remember. The cinematography is excellent. Direction by Farhan Akhtar is good as well. Preity Zinta looks horrible and is not able to carry off her part well, downer for Preity ! Music is bad, sadly. But the film overall is too good. The war portions are quite realistic. Watch this film.
