First of all the prime reason to watch this is to witness the pride moment that India shot down the so called invincible US F-16 Aircraft, though this film in not specifically based on actual incidents and India used 3rd gen fighter to shot down this advanced plane. To be very frank, I did not like Siddarth Anand's Pathan and I was afraid before going to watch his next FIGHTER. I think Pathan was one of the dumbest Spy thriller with lack of detailing, character development, unrealistic plot and a dumb spy. But I am surprised the amount of efforts he now put in for detailing, plot, fight sequences, Vfx and gripping presentations and that shows on screen. I watched this in 3D and fortunately the song "Ishq jaisa kuch" was not added in this version and this did not unnecessary broke the flow of the show. And I watched Top Gun too but just because it is based on Areal combat, don't judge it by saying sasta copy of Top Gun. I must say people should support this, else directors would never put in efforts to bring a movie up to this level. One star I have deducted because in few places you would feel things are exaggerated or few scenes boring but the realistic presentation were able to cover those. Good parts are this movie did not use patriotism as the tool to sell ticket, been more fair like the dialogue "our target is terror not civilians of Pakistan" and the sleek final product. Please support this honest effort...

Well, this movie failed to live up to the expectations that came from the Trailer. I am one of the person who usually prefers to watch movies on Saturdays/ Sundays after reading public reviews but this time I was so exited that I watched it on first day morning show. I would be honest that I was disappointed. Below are the big loopholes and flaws I found in the film that spoiled my expectations, It failed to create the feeling of father-son bonding and the connection in our mind and so the unnecessary violence is not justified. I felt someway while trying to emphasize and portray violence, the plot development and story building was forgotten. Transition from one situation to another was poor and does not leave any impact, except few scenes. Had better expectations from the director. Again, I felt the violence scenes most of the time did not make sense and seemed irrelevant. I mean leaves less impacts and does not stay longer. Like if I take example of GOT, all gore and violence made sense. Over glorifying alfa male culture and giving less importance to female characters. Bobby's character was less impactful, compared to the expectation built from the trailer. No justice with his character, less screen time and huge opportunity wasted Lot of action sequences appeared undercooked, because it came all of a sudden and without any logical explanation and without building strong grounds. So, those felt unnecessary and less impactful. Another impractical thing is that a person open fires in an investor's summit in presence of foreign delegates, Bloodshed in a 5 star hotel but no police action as if there's no law and police. Now the good parts are, Power performance from Ranbir and Bobby Deol (though its small). Way action scenes were shoot. Few tracks like Arjan Vally is my favorite. BGM while Ranbir-Bobby fight scene was awesome. However overall I did not find it engaging and gripping and that emotion is missing. Also, the length is a drawback.

I fell in love again. Ohh my goodness, what a movie. What a performance. Story, moments, dialogues and acting. Rajkumar's intense acting as IAS officer, Kriti's charm and smile. Man, why people ignore such movies. It merely collected 19 cr in BO. After a decade I saw a brilliant romantic movie. Just loved it.
