Plot

The Pakistan military forces attack the Indian Force led by Major Sunil Bhatia and captivate them. He was taken to Captain Nawaz for an interrogation. During their conversation, they come to know about their likings. Sunil and Nawaz love poetry and started discussing it. Soon, they develop a bonding forgetting their position in the respected armies. Will they continue their friendship? What happened to Sunil? Was he freed? The rest of the film deals with it.

Star Performance

It is Rohit Roy who steals the show. His expressions and body language are neat. Vivek Oberoi is okayish with his role.

Analysis

The basic concept seems to be okay. But, the writing is not impressive. The makers could have opted for more intense and gripping scenes with a good set of stars. Many scenes didn't appeal well as they lack in some emotional content grip. However, the actors did their best to make up those minus points. The cinematography is not up to the mark, and many locations haven't given the feel as they are depicted. The characters should have been designed better so that it would have added some strength to the story.

What's There?

• The performances of the stars are good

What's Not There?

• Lack of depth in some scenes and characters
• The visuals are not impressive

Verdict

Although the film comes with good editing, the cinematography and writing are a big let out. The makers had not released it as a feature film, but as a short film, and hence we can forgive those flaws. If the writing had been gripping, the film would have gone to the next level.
