Analysis
Right from the first shot we can clearly feel that we are going to experience an action packed movie. Hrithik roshan is back to his strong area after delivering a classy hit "Super 30".
Siddharth Anand wanted to deliver super cool action movie filled with thrilling moments without missing the emotional connect and he completely succeeded in balancing every element and making it a Powerful Action packed movie.
First half is filled with some excellent sequences. Director didn't drag the screenplay anywhere except for climax. He established the history of both Kabir and Khalid and their relationship with a flashback in first half itself.

After the flashback there is a plane action sequence. This scene was shot amazingly and is a delight to watch Hrithik in action. After the action episode there comes a confrontation scene between the two leads which gives us a right Interval Bang starting the chase of one for the other.
Second half starts on emotional note where director tries to establish why Kabir turned rogue and the motive behind it with a short flashback. Once the flashback ends its never before action sequences on screen.
Every action episode is filled with brilliant visual effects work and choreography. Even the Haunting Background score lifts the scene to another level. Production values are lavish and every penny spent is evident in each frame.
There are two action episodes one in first half and other in second half which is a chase sequence that give you Hollywood feels. Movie even offers you bunch of thrills and twists which you won't see coming.
After a high octane action scenes filled second half, with a dragged action episode in the climax, "WAR" between the leads comes to an end.
(MY) Final Word
WAR is an Action packed movie with ample amount of twists and turns and also the required emotions in the right place. Director Siddharth Anand has done a wonderful job in balancing every element. Action scenes will definitely stun you. If you keep aside a dragged yet interesting climax,, "WAR" is a must watch for movie lovers this weekend.
Bottom line: WAR - Wonderful Action Ride!!
Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
