If they just wanted to copy Top Gun, they should have just done so. But no, cheap bollywoodias had to use their pea sized brain and made it completely unwatchable. Man! What a disaster of a movie! If they had done even 10% research, this would have been atleast 40-50% better.
These people are posted in the top most squad of the Indian Air Force for some very critical mission. And yet the entire time all one can see is them partying, having fun and flirting. Really? They are the best but that does not mean a thing if they do not train for this super critical mission they are posted in that squad for. Where is the training? Where is the insurmountable looking challenge? Where are the technicalities? Where is the grit, the effort which has to be put in to even the odds? The answer - who needs it when you can show Indian flag being waved out of a bus, or lots of time consuming slow motion entries and shots. Ugh! All of it was done in an extemely tasteless way. And Hritik's entire character was based on Tom Cruise's from Top Gun. And for god's sake they couldn't even atleast get the ranks right on the uniforms!
"Hum yahan desh ke liye marne aaye hain", "pakistan tera baap hai lekin bharat meri maa hai", "Mai udna chahti thi", etc., the entire movie is filled with these kinds of corny, irritating dialogues. BELIEVE ME, NOBODY IN THE IAF TALKS LIKE THAT! There was no game plan that was shown, the RAW agent was included in the briefing of the top squad of IAF, every character was like they wear their hearts on their sleeves, nobody looked like they had an ounce of discipline, stern, stoic training. This movie made me cringe a lot. Horrible, horrible stuff - and to use pulwama attack in such a fashion..... Well, this seemed more like a parody on the IAF.
Dumbest movie of the year. Deepika was especially unwatchable.
The only redeeming character in the movie was Ashutosh Rana who only appeared for 2 scenes. But he just rocked in them. Or it could have been that the standard was set so low since the start of the movie, Ashutosh's character appeared very good.
