Lack of good storyline.

disgusting, overrated, pointless

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This movie with an absurd name is about a situation where a war is declared between two countries and the incidents that happen around it. Since its an Indian movie , the war needs to be against its obvious 'enemy' Pakistan. The movie is coined as the first war comedy. And is most definitely hilarious, but in parts.War Chod na yaar is the perfect example of an exceptional concept decently executed. And most importantly it not a biased movie where the Pakistani army gets bashed and the Indian army emerges victorious(Well to an extent the Indian army is shown much organized, but come on its an Indian movie). Another portrayal which truly impressed me is that the director / writer has ensured that none of the army soldiers are shown killed on/by either side. Supremely talented Javed Jaffery once again excels once again.and So does Sharmaan Joshi, Sanjay Mishra. But a special mention goes to Dilip Tahil who portrays the character of all the ministers, which I felt was the inside message of the movie(Politicians of every country are the same and exploit/manipulate the army/citizens) .And Soha Ali khan was just above par. The antakshari sequence between the Indian and the Pakistani army is extremely hilarious. And so is the sequence where the Pakistani minister has discussions to the Chinese general and requests to speak in Punjabi, And the Chinese general puts on the 'China made' translator and starts talking like Sidhu.The only but a major disappointment in the movie according to me was the climax. It was a complete letdown especially after having such a good plot. And I felt the movie should have ended sensibly. It gave a 'times up lets finish it' kinda finish. and also didn't find the need of any songs in the movie and the romance between the Hero and heroine was put in just because there needed to be song. But overall a pretty decent attempt to portray a serious concern in a light hearted way. A better crisply edited version of it would have been much entertaining.

Good movie good dialogues.. not good songs and perfect comedy scenes with a message excellent comedy actors. Javed Jeffery was mind blowing...mukul Dev at his best. The movie has sent a msg. if u are looking to get entertained this is the movie for you. Keep your brains at home and enjoy the movie. The goat and the grass guy was fantastic. The flow of the movie is good. You will enjoy every moment. This is a new concept altogether. This movie has to be one of the best comedy movies made in India. The director has done well. Its all about what happens if the army Len start thinking like humans. Its a breakthrough for Bollywood.

It is not easy to think about making a 'War Comedy', particularly in our part of the world and that too between India and Pakistan, who are still fighting with the haunting memories of their painful partition. So from that angle, director Faraz Haider rightly deserves the praises regarding the novel choice of this risky theme, which has never been tried before in such a focused way in Hindi Cinema. But sadly on the other hand, we don't find the same matured outlook in his execution which more or less remains an interesting yet unconvincing comic take on an important subject of War.It seems the writer and his director, have taken their basic idea from one of the most famous War Comedies of the West directed by Stanley Kubrick titled DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB(1964). And one gets this idea, the moment he sees Dalip Tahil playing various characters of an Indian, Pakistani, American and Chinese official in the film, just like Peter Sellers played 3 different persons in the Oscar nominated classic released in 1964.Beginning on an interesting and engaging note, WCNY offers some good entertaining sequences at regular intervals, which actually lose their individual grip or charm due to the other amateurish and unconvincing sequences coming one after another. The basic purpose or motive of the fresh concept remains unclear to the viewer even after 40 minutes into the film and the songs further put some relevant questions on the vision of its makers quite strongly. Moreover absurd insertions like 'Antakshri' at the border and very irresponsible kind of reporting by the lead character of Soha Ali Khan strictly ruin the initial excitement of watching the First War Comedy of Hindi Cinema and the film truly disappoints towards the end. Though post intermission, the entertainment factor returns with some fine comic sequences happening in the war front itself enacted by few talented actors. But the tacky handling of the subject soon makes a comeback, turning the film into an amateurish mediocre product failing to make any kind of favorable impression on the viewers despite the novel subject.Adding songs in a 'War Comedy' itself is a clear indication of the confused vision of its makers and the tracks further prove the same making no contribution at all in the overall proceedings. Cinematography tries its best to keep the viewer engaged but the weak writing and too many night sequences in its second hour don't let it happen convincingly. The same can be said about both Sharman Joshi and Javed Jaafri who act well but don't get the much required support of the writers. Soha Ali Khan is just OK as the journalist but Sanjay Mishra and Manoj Pahwa are superb in their comic portrayal. Dalip Tahil in his different get ups is not able to put up any exceptional show whereas Mukul Dev acts fine in his funny side track of a silly intruder.To give you a precise idea, no doubt WAR CHHOD NA YAAR says all the right things about the futility of war in the present times, revealing the secret mean games played by those powerful countries working behind the curtains. But it's the way of depicting the idea which doesn't work here in totality and the film just remains a weak attempt made with some noble intentions.However, coming to the major point which doesn't allow me to give any better ratings to the film bringing forward a crucial issue, WAR CHHOD NA YAAR in reality is a flawed War Comedy because it wrongly tackles the subject in a partial manner. Putting it differently, if you are making a War Comedy then you have to make fun of both the countries equally irrespective of your own origin or country. Whereas here, the makes are more interested in making fun of the opponent country Pakistan only in all their major comedy sequences and India is shown in a much respected manner comparatively, following a purely imbalanced pattern, which is not how it should be done.Hence due to this biased and unacceptable partial vision of conceiving a War Comedy(making fun of only the opponent), the film loses another star from its ratings and you can easily skip it this weekend to catch up later on a TV channel in the coming months.

Director Mr. Faraz Haider work is below average. He always makes the movie crumbling behind script. I appreciate the intention of makers behind making this movie. There is not a single scene, where you think that Director had taken the film ahead of script. Director himself has written the script. Screenplay is boring. Strictly only a few dialogues are good. Love track is very abrupt and unnecessary. Night scenes are fairly lit, where you can easily recognize the actors, notice their expressions but most of time they carry the torch, alas, even they want to do it discreetly. So many things have gone wrong. Why did Dilip Tahil has given triple role? Spoof on news channel was a relief. Director wants to make a movie , where he can justify the need of peace between two nation but he has used some sarcastic dialogues and situation regarding the neighbor country, which can't be taken so lightly. If , you are condemning war then you must have balance approach towards both. Second half of movie has some light moments but I don't thing they can save the movie falling under below average. Performance wise all are just OK. Even good actors are wasted due to the script. Music is also not appealing.
