So what happened during Operation Battle House? Who shot first? . . No one will answer us. . . I want to admit right away that my review is purely subjective, and I do not pretend to be historical, especially since I am writing about another country. The film is based on real events, and there is not even an annotation on the KP, so I consider it my duty to at least describe the situation touched upon in the film.
There was an operation in which several Islamic terrorists were killed. The operation was carried out, respectively, in the area where Muslims lived, the terrorists turned out to be part-time students (and what, one thing does not interfere with the other), and everything turned into such a scandal that my mother does not grieve. Not everyone was killed, someone was arrested, someone managed to escape. But all this led to mass protests and trials, with police having to prove that she was not a camel and that it was not a staged shootout. This is a terrible thing.
The whole movie was made by John Abraham. Maybe if there was someone else in his place, it would be impossible to watch. But, he has long reached such a level that pulls everything on himself. Of course, there are still a lot of people involved, but I still don’t know anyone except the unfortunate Ravi Kishan, who played an officer who was shot by terrorists during the showdown. The film is well done, but very long. There seems to be a lot of movement, and they shoot often, but everything is kind of stupid. You have to make excuses for everything. I confess to being stuporous. So many times they showed the police how they come, detain anyone they want, beat them, knock out the testimony they need, and sometimes they kill during interrogation - and they don't care. And like the detention of terrorists, and in court then prove that the boys were terrorists, that is, an official investigation was conducted - and the police made a monster. And Officer Sanjiv (or Sanjay), I never understood his proper name, was forced to puff out for the entire detachment that was making the arrest. That's what the movie is about. And to make it even clearer, the operation itself took ten minutes of screen time, and everything else is a public reaction to this event. Honestly and subjectively, the police were sorry (if it all happened as presented). That is, if a terrorist shoots at you, you need to let yourself be killed, and then they will say that you exceeded your authority and even shot innocent children (and it’s okay that children were so good for 20?).
The love line is present in the form of actress Mrunal Thakur, but the heroes divorced before the events, and after the shootout, the wife thought to leave and let her husband morally support (this is us, women, passion as we love!). In short, the wife is represented exclusively as a support group. No sushi-pushi, no schmuck dance. Although it is a lie, there were (there was one) danced Nora Fatehi (fashionable she Stoli, now, Atemegherl?). In every second film, she dances. She was even given a small role there, she played Huma, the mistress of the escaped terrorist.
And in the end, I draw a line: we can not judge the reliability of events, because we do not know anything about it. Who is the hero and who is not is unknown. I warn you, the story seems interesting, but by the end you may get tired of waiting for what all this will end. Maybe the creators had that in mind. If you love John Abraham, don’t even think. The rest, I think, should not, well, or fans of militants only.
