“War Chhod Na Yaar” is based on Indo-Pak border issues. It shows how countries like China and America take advantage of such situations. Film creates curios and interesting moments but seems slow at times. Long and tiring climax is also one of the weak points of the film. This drama suggests in a simplistic ay that how the border issue can be easily resolved and it’s good for both the countries not to fight because nobody wins.

Captain Rana (Sharman Joshi) is a brave and intelligent guy who instead of fighting enjoys the relationship with the Pakistani soldier Captain Qureshi (Javed Jaffery) on India –Pakistan border. On the other side TV reporter Ruth Dutta (Soha Ali Khan) goes to the border for a secret coverage as being told by Prime Minister of India. She discovers a healthy relationship between Indo-Pak soldiers and tries to tries to find out a way to stop the battle supposed to happen in a near future.

The dialogues of the film are thought provoking but the romance between Rana and Ruth seems unconvincing. They just fall in love in no time. Sharman Joshi plays his role responsible well. Javed Jaffery is also good in his part. Dalip Tahil plays four roles in the film which are P.M. of both India and Pakistan while the other two are president of US and Premier of China. This reminds me of Kamal Hassan in Dasavathaaram; although things are quite different it. Soha Ali Khan looks charming; she has improved her performance with time.

Verdict: - Interesting topic makes it a bit engaging but doesn't go beyond a certain extent. Hence, remains an average watch.

Budget - 80 crores (including print and publicity)

When a film has a startcast of Ranbir Kapoor ( whose last films were  Rockstar ,Barfi!  &  Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani ) and Rishi Kapoor who gave powerful performances in  D-Day , Aurangzeb and  Shuddh Desi Romance  you start expecting a lot from it. 
What the film actually delivers , is a story taken straight away from old films , poorly written screenplay and dialogues, too many songs and dances, weak characters and a lead pair who share zero chemistry .   

Abhinav Kashyap who made his directorial debut in 2010 through Dabangg has totally antagonized the audience with his second film .The full blame for this nonsense in the name of action/romance /comedy lies on his shoulder as not only he wrote the story he also wasted talented actors like Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh in roles where they had nothing to do.
Ranbeer Kapoor, who is the current heart throb is made to wear cheap clothes ,use lame lines and act like a buffoon in most of the film. Even Kashyap's girlfriend and leading lady of the film , Pallavi got no preferential treatment. Though she is a manager who drives a Mercedes she wears ' Globus' kind of clothes( bought during sale period) and has no dialogues or chance to show her acting skills . 

The tag line of the film is 'Na samman ka moh , na apman ka bhay'. Sorry, Mr Kashyap but this film has nothing for which you will receive a single word of praise or appreciation. 

The film was released in 3600 screens and because of Ranbeer Kapoor's popularity it made an opening day collection of 20 crores .Ranbir Kapoor must have realised  that he made a blunder in choosing to act in this film as he took no interest in promoting the film in Mumbai or any other cities.

In a line, the 3 Kapoors together have given such a 3'rd class film that in future I would rather watch a movie starring the 3 Bachchans (Sarkar Raj) or 3 Deols (Apne) .

Verdict - Avoid it , even Ranbir Kapoor's Fans should avoid it. Wait for  its TV premier.
