Its 1997 movie, story about Indian Army at Pakistan border defending the country. A great story with number of beautiful songs.

this movie is SURELY a parody or spoof. there's just no way anyone can take this silly film seriously. it is so full of cheesy dialogue, unbelievable jingoism and awful, over-the-top performances that there's no way you can watch it without laughing.first, there is some good photography and cinematography in this film. the actions shots are done quite well. but that's where it ends. EVERYTHING ELSE about this movie is absolutely HORRIBLE.this movie was most likely written by the Indian army, as there are just too many references to how much greater India is than Pakistan and how it must be protected at all costs. the rhetoric is soooo thick and performances so wooden that there's really no explanation other than that the Indian military knew they would need some public relations help, especially since they were to go on to detonate five nuclear bombs the year after this film was released.the acting is absolutely horrible, with every character being completely one-dimensional caricatures. the embarrassingly bad character played by sunny deol is taken straight out of an American war b-movie. his unending screaming of silly nationalistic clichés was most likely written by politicians, and serves only as a source of comic relief. every other character is similarly based on cartoon characters....every five minutes, the viewer is reminded about how great India and hindus are, how brave and intelligent they are, how strong and proud they are, how loving and noble they are... this idea, beaten into your head over and over, is followed by explosions and heroic indians beating down those evil pakistanis. this gets so tired and stupid that it's quite clear this movie has nothing else to say - it is completely self-righteous propaganda or ingenious parody.the incredibly bad dialogue, surely written by army children, sees the entire world in black and white, and India is always right, no matter what. it even goes so far as to suggest that god wants India to win and Pakistan to lose, but never shows the pakistani army believing the exact same thing...? of course not, because everyone knows that Pakistan are the bad guys and India is doing god's work, right?? in the middle of all this carnage, no opportunity is missed for these tough guys to drop their guns and take part in silly choreographed dance routines, which are so out of place, that they serve as yet another piece of proof that this film is a spoof and should not be taken seriously.this film exists primarily to support the ideas of conservative warmonger tough guys who like guns and violence and like killing people who don't pray to the same god they do. it fuels the minds of small-minded, nationalistic idiots who believe that India is the greatest country in the world - yet have never traveled outside of India.however, it also serves to satirize these kinds of people, with such an extreme, arnold schwarzenegger-type plot, that it seems to completely undermine and subvert what i assume is the real message of the film. it's quite ironic that this is the case because the makers of this film most likely thought they were creating something amazing but ended up creating something so laughably bad that it can only be enjoyed as making fun of those who support war.

The Movie is an attempt to bring into limelight the Historic Battle of Longewala located in Rajasthan. The Pakistan Army opens Western Front against India to force away Indian effort to liberate Bangladesh from tyrant Pakistani rule.The Pakistani Army assuming that Indian Forces have only limited presence on Western Border attacks through Rajasthan in Longewala. The movie depicts true event and is not a piece of fiction as far as Battle is concerned.Its true that there was a company of only 120 men against almost 2500 Pakistani Troops along with over 60 Tanks engaged in the Battle of Longewala. The Indian Post at Longewala had strategic advantage of being at higher level and also was one of the prime reasons for shameful defeat of Pakistani Tank Column and Infantry at the hands of a handful Indians !!The characters have been carefully chosen and developed beautifully in the movie. The Battle appears almost real with men at their respective positions as in actual battle. The intensity is high and so is the depiction of morale. The Indian Air Force striking the Pakistanis in the morning was clearly seen although there was a little more role that IAF played in actual battle. The dramatic scenes are good enough to make you shed a tear for the unsung heros.Overall the movie is great considering the complexities involved in shooting a real war scene. Its a must watch for all the people who do not know about the battle that is considered a strategic one in defeat the Pakistani Army by Indian Forces in 1971 war.The movie is complete with patriotic moments,is well shot and well delivered. A must watch for every Indian....Also for those who like Real War Flicks!!

Border is no Saving Private Ryan or behind enemy lines. It's an unpretentious patriotic film, which is great to watch on 15 Aug or 26 Jan. It's heavily dramatised with punching dialogue and touching songs. The characters are varied and likable, and acting doesn't come much better, though Sunny Deol is over the top as usual.It's sad to see this movie trashed by some Pakistani viewers, who are clearly not happy to see a movie made about their war failures. Maybe they should make movies depicting their own point of view, rather than watching pirated copies of Indian movies, and then complaining about them.
