This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

"War Chod Na Yaar" is a movie that will not appeal to the mass. It is a movie for the class. Amazing cinematography, sarcastic plot, sheer use of humor, good makeup and Dilip Taahil's excellent acting takes it to the top. The music is very average and fails to make an impression. The transparency of media and the role of politicians have been portrayed appropriately in the movie. It is not simply a movie, it is a message to mankind. Though extremely Utopian, the movie shows how love and friendship can topple war. The use of puns has been very accurate. Actors are at their best. However, the army of the neighboring country has been portrayed in a manner that is often insulting. It is indeed a huge discredit. But overall, the movie successfully impresses the viewers and makes a mark. Still it is not a movie for the mass, but for the class only.

Defense Minister of India (Dalip Tahil), wants a media attention and visits the India-Pakistan Border with a channel's reporter Ruth Dutta (Soha Ali Khan). She meets Indian Army Captain Raj (Sharman Joshi) who shares a friendly gesticulation with General M. Qureshi (Javed Jaffrey) belonging Pakistani army, , convoyed by their soldiers. Then there is an involvement of dirty politics and politicians from both the country who make them fight with each other and the sole reason is political gain.Faraz Haider did a commendable work here in his directorial debut with 'War Chhod Na Yaar'. The concept & script bring a fresh breeze amongst the mindless movies these days. What work here are the intention and some perfect satirical context. The narrative gives us an awareness of the atrocities of war and we can feel the compulsion of soldiers. It clearly indicates that nobody wants war but there are some catalysts that aggravate the reaction.We witness many elements which are real amusements such as "antakshari" among the soldiers from both sides, playing cards at the border surreptitiously, commander talking about girlfriends some trespassers are being looted every time they appear on the screen by same man.Most part of the film has been shot beautifully in Rajasthan. The murky desert looks fantastic with the use of torch lights, most of the scene have been shot at night which gives an eccentric feel.Sharman Joshi does a wonderful work here and looked really authentic. Javed Jaffery delivers a perfect performance with natural comic timing as always. Sanjay Mishra is always a treat to watch with his delightful portrayal and perfectly delivered punches in his peculiar style. Dalip Tahil steals the show playing multiple roles of Indian Defense Minister, Pakistani Minister, Chinese General and as an American Senator with perfect US accent.'War Chhod Na Yaar' manages to delivers what it desires. It works as a surprise and leaves strong impact that war is always pointless.

This movie with an absurd name is about a situation where a war is declared between two countries and the incidents that happen around it. Since its an Indian movie , the war needs to be against its obvious 'enemy' Pakistan. The movie is coined as the first war comedy. And is most definitely hilarious, but in parts.War Chod na yaar is the perfect example of an exceptional concept decently executed. And most importantly it not a biased movie where the Pakistani army gets bashed and the Indian army emerges victorious(Well to an extent the Indian army is shown much organized, but come on its an Indian movie). Another portrayal which truly impressed me is that the director / writer has ensured that none of the army soldiers are shown killed on/by either side. Supremely talented Javed Jaffery once again excels once again.and So does Sharmaan Joshi, Sanjay Mishra. But a special mention goes to Dilip Tahil who portrays the character of all the ministers, which I felt was the inside message of the movie(Politicians of every country are the same and exploit/manipulate the army/citizens) .And Soha Ali khan was just above par. The antakshari sequence between the Indian and the Pakistani army is extremely hilarious. And so is the sequence where the Pakistani minister has discussions to the Chinese general and requests to speak in Punjabi, And the Chinese general puts on the 'China made' translator and starts talking like Sidhu.The only but a major disappointment in the movie according to me was the climax. It was a complete letdown especially after having such a good plot. And I felt the movie should have ended sensibly. It gave a 'times up lets finish it' kinda finish. and also didn't find the need of any songs in the movie and the romance between the Hero and heroine was put in just because there needed to be song. But overall a pretty decent attempt to portray a serious concern in a light hearted way. A better crisply edited version of it would have been much entertaining.

The flow of the movie is good. You will enjoy every moment. This is a new concept altogether. This movie has to be one of the best comedy movies made in India. The director has done well. Its all about what happens if the army Len start thinking like humans. Its a breakthrough for Bollywood.
