War Reviews

...a movie that’s exhilarating from start to finish and one with enough pizzazz to keep its audience glued to every eye-popping frame.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 27, 2023

War settles into a series of long-drawn-out action set pieces and contrived plot sleights designed to give Hrithik and Tiger the room to go all out.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 15, 2020

Forget Hobbs & Shaw - this is the bona fide, brawny, brain-free John Woo-style machismo cinematic face-off of the year.

Full Review | Nov 6, 2019

Unlike its beefed-up heroes, there's no meat in the plot...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2019

War is a defining action movie of our time. It's Hollywood enough to rock the multiplexes, but it doesn't forget its roots.

Full Review | Oct 14, 2019

All the space is gobbled up by Hrithik and Tiger, and they are so busy strutting across the screen, in all their glory, so ripped, so brawny, that the poor baddies don't really get a chance.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 5, 2019

The male leads, separated by a couple of generations and united by their ability to land punches and execute pirouettes without breaking a sweat, set the screen on fire.

Full Review | Oct 4, 2019

A star vehicle that's too weird to be dismissed, and too plodding to completely work.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 4, 2019

Siddharth Anand's 'War' is a truly pulpy entertainer that casually reinvents Bollywood action films.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2019

That WAR also happens to be a barnstorming, knuckle-busting and an immensely enjoyable action movie under the guise of a meta bromance tale is just the icing on the gluten-free cake.

Full Review | Oct 2, 2019

War is a popcorn entertainer and you can't ask too many questions but if you're willing to suspend disbelief, the twists and turns exert a solid grip.

...an ode that is particularly cynical and offensive considering that the past five years have heralded unprecedented Islamophobia in India.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 2, 2019

You get roughly 154 minutes of mildly impressive action sequences heavily inspired from the Mission Impossible films, sandwiched between a wafer thin plot that becomes incrementally bizarre as the film inches along...

Watch the film for its world-class action and be prepared for the sequels to come down the line...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 2, 2019

Like the quintessential entertainer, War serves up a little bit of everything in its narrative - action, drama, music, romance, exotic locations and car chases.

War, a big spectacle film, is definitely worth a watch for the sheer joy of seeing this dream pair of Hrithik and Tiger on the silver screen.

The film's charm is aided by the fact that both the actors share an electric chemistry and the action set-pieces thrill with their fluid choreography, and occasional ingenuity.
