Where to begin? I was quite disappointed to see that bollywood movies like this are still being made where there is such blatant degradation of Pakistan.
Firstly my mother knew the daughters of the nuclear scientist, she grew up with them and knew where they lived. The movie changed the names and the location- they actually lived in Islamabad- not rawalpindi. How are we meant to feel sympathy for Amandeep and that other RAW agent when they got Nasreens father killed and told so many lies- basically dehumanising Pakistanis. You can't have it both ways trying to make this a cute love story when all this bakwas is going on at the same time.
Secondly, as aforementioned, why is there still a need to constantly make Pakistanis in this movie appear as buffoons? All action scenes were ridiculous! Whilst I enjoy Dhoom etc that's fiction- but when you are portraying this as based on true events you are just further creating a divide between two nations. Ha ha India stronger than Pakistan look at all the useless soldiers.
Thirdly; costumes, set designs so so lazy. Come on yar Pakistani streets and houses don't look like that. Incorrect language used in this too, most people in Rawalpindi speak punjabi!
To conclude, this is a ridiculous propaganda movie which has twisted and made up facts. I love how at the end they had the cheek to say Pakistan never got to test their nuclear bombs etc. Too many lies just putting Pakistan in a bad light akin to what Hollywood does with Russia. Bollywood decided to go the extra mile here with making their fave 'rival' seem utterly useless. Grow up.
