Mike Garcia Loosely based in one of my favorite American martial arts movies "Best of the best", this Indian martial arts film has a clear message of friendship between two nations, India and Pakistan but although of that, the film was not released in Pakistan because they considered that the movie shows the country in bad light..The musical moments are much more tolerable than in other Idian films that I've watched, here are just part of the story and nobody suddenly begins to dance and sing crazily for over ten minutes Emoticono tongue but the weakest point of the movie are the fights in the ring, nothing spectacular, slow and sometimes even clumsy, it is very obvious that none of the actors has a martial arts background...

scarredpariah Considering the themes and potential, it was very disappointing. The evocative opening credits promised much more than the muted, dumbed-down mess that followed.This film should have shed an hour to hit a more effective fighting weight. It was flabby, slow, dull and predictable. The sparse action choreography was passable, but not great. I would say it was more of a drama than an action movie, but the acting wasn't really strong enough for that, either.Despite its many flaws and its heavy-handedness, it did manage to muster a little impact for the finale, but I'm not sure it was worth the slog.

Bhanu For those of you who really liked this movie, please go and watch the American movie "Best of the Best" made in 1989. Yes, this movie is yet another copy from bollywood. What really surprises me is that being a copy of an American film, how can this movie win any award and yet being internationally acclaimed??? This movie doesn't reach up to the original version, Best of the Best. The fight scenes are really not impressive at all. If you see the original movie, you'll be well entertained with great fight sequences and really see the fighters fighting without using any special effects (cables).Mukesh Rishi looks too old for his character in this movie. Aanahad has good physics and probably a professional kick-boxer in real life too, but as far as acting is concerned, well......

amit_mnnit I watched this movie today and definitely came back with a stirred heart. Well, before I get carried away let me share the USPs of this movie: [1.] commendable performances by all the actors although there was no big star cast[2.] slick kick boxing stunt scenes, very clean and sophisticatedHowever, this movie had its own share of flaws: [1.] The movie failed to show the closeness of the relationship between the brothers in the first half which was pivotal to the plot. Instead, the lead actor seemed more close to his sister-in-law than to his brother. [2.] In the second half there should have been some sequence showing the kick-boxing training given to Aanaahad since he was basically a cricket player trying to fill in his brother's shoes [3.] The ending of the movie was a bit too melodramatic. I think it could have been more practical.Overall, it was a good movie that keeps you gripped all the way through.
