This is the first Paki Movie I have seen, and choose it in view of the controversy for being Anti-Indian and one of the most high budget movies of pak.But in a nutshell, truly disappointed. Have expected a far better movie. Only thing that impressed me was the the fluent and quality accent of English the actors have spoken (80% conversation was in English).Other than that, this movie is full of meaningless bloodshed, Random AK-47 & 56, M-5, Heckler & Koch ... a full showcase of small arms. And oh, you could also see the Apache copters ... But except of that there is no tight story or theme ... not even a big (true) bomb that the terrorists usually use (an usual expectation of a viewer from an Action+Thriller movie based on Terrorism)!! There are so many loose ends that even before the half of the movie, I lost track and the rest half, i just used Ctrl+(>) on VLC. In fact there is no thrill at all even could be expected from a class C thriller movie.A small piece of advise to the director, please spend a few bucks on research about the theme along with your 200 Crore at the main budget, at least get into the fact that modern explosives are not made by "mixing" two types of "liquid" which can be stored in cheap plastic drums. TNT and Nitro Glycerine (which are liquid, but I don't know of any variant of "mixing" them) are very old comparing to modern plastic explosives and most importantly, terrorists do not use those. And of course, the "chemical bomb" was really funny, bubbling violet liquid (water)in a glass jar + a laptop (not even a tab or smart phone !!!) which is "sealed" with duct tapes !!! C'on ......

Waar has been one of the most anticipated movies of Pakistani cinema. The right cast a fresh director and above all a very high class technical staff to support it. i like its music...songs are placed well..which are matches the situation ..A Strong Plot,Some Top-Notch Acting and the Best Music Score ever in a Pakistani movie,It totally delivers what was promised in the trailer.For a Pakistani movie,this is extremely good and everyone will surely enjoy it.Great job by the whole team,especially Shaan,you have proved that Pakistan can come out of watching dumb downed action movies.I'm looking forward to your next project.Extremely well job for someone so young and talented.It was worth the watch....................................waiting for the next movie...my rating for this movie is 8.5/10

Well as i ve seen the movie twice in cinema & multiple times in mobile & PCs, i finally decided to give my reviews regarding WAAR. After a long long time, we see a movie in Pakistan that has attracted a multitude of viewers all around the country. The cinematography and special effects are something rare in Pakistan. Shan is no doubt currently the best actor in Pakistan film industry and he has proved his skills in the film with utmost maturity. Hamza Ali Abbassi,the face in the cinema has shown astonishing dialouge delivery & an ATS skills. Shamoon played a real bad ass without a sense of pity. Director Bilal Lashari, who studied film-making in California, says: "There was just no question, even if people were telling me: 'How can you do without them?'.From cinematography to style of acting, it is different from what has gone before.. Everyone here has been following Bollywood but the best we can ever come up with is going to be a B grade knock off. We need to create our own identity" & hell yeah he did!!For audiences here, it is going to be a complete 180 degree shift. From cinematography to style of acting, it is different from what has gone before." There is story, special effects, action scenes, performance, direction and so on that decide the fate of a film. Judging on these pure cinema related merits, the movie is a wonderful of especially keeping in mind the plight of film making in Pakistan. This was breath of fresh air for Pakistani audience who were rightly disappointed and had ceased to go to the theatres.As A Whole Waar Is A Brilliantly Made Action Packed Big Budget Patriotic Pakistani Feature Film Which Leaves You With Just A Single Word "WOW". A Worthy Must Watch.

I must say I was disappointed watching this film. It was long and tedious, and I was wishing for it to end. Let me start of saying that the character development is flawed. New characters appeared scene after scene without any description and the focus fluctuated from one actor to the other leaving the audience without any main focal point. Secondly the plot has many loop holes. The idea was great but wasn't executed. The editing is very choppy as the scenes do not seem to go in a flow. Seemed like a roller coaster jumping from one scene to the next, a result of poor editing. The only good aspect of the movie was Shaan. He is a terrific actor and he played his role well. Overall this movie isn't worth your time.
