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.

good bollywood movie
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.

It had the potential to be great!!!
The film had a lot to live upto being the second offering of Farhan after the hugh success that was Dil Chata Hai. It started of well, kept you interested, I thought ok this looks different. The main story being about Hrithik looking for his objective in life (his lakshya). It continues to hold your attention when it stays to this theme. However where this film lets itself down is when it goes off the path of Hrithik's lakshya and starts focusing more on the war aspect. The war setting was well incorporated into the film when it was part of Hirthik's story and had it kept this role the film would have done far greater.
