War Chhod Na Yaar Review

Cast: Sharman Joshi, Javed Jaffery, Soha Ali Khan, Sanjay MishraDirection: Faraz HaiderGenre: ComedyDuration: 2 hours
Story: The film is a light-hearted satire aimed at those who do not believe or hope that peace can prevail between India and Pakistan.
Review: Picture this - India and Pakistan are headed for war. TV reporter Rut Dutta ( Soha Ali Khan) promptly reaches the LOC to cover the notified attack LIVE! Raj ( Sharman Joshi), captain of the Indian army, happily shows her around, unlike a brooding Shah Rukh Khan of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. When the two are not busy ogling each other, they play antakshari with Qureshi (Javed Jafferi), captain of the Pakistan army and his soldiers! Rut soon discovers that rival soldiers are caught in banter with each other instead of crossfire. Does this camaraderie help in sustaining peace between the two countries? Will it expose the hidden agendas of the US and China?
Promoted as India's first war comedy, one must acknowledge filmmaker Faraz Haider for deviating from 'formula films' and offering something new. His concept is unique. After all, how many films have revolved around the cross-border equation between Indian and Pakistani soldiers till date?
Black comedy is a rare genre in Bollywood and hats off to Haider for bringing it to the forefront. His subject is relevant, given the many unpleasant cross-border incidents that have occurred of late.
