Critics Review

1.50

A misfire on many levels

one line isn�t bad. It comes when the villain mocks India�s diversity of languages and religions and calls us �Delhi lendhu thookki podara elumbu thundukku vaalaattara koottam.� I can�t pinpoint the reason, but the line stung a little. But how frustrating that even in this kind of action adventure, we cannot lay off the messages. Vasu talks about India and Pakistan, North and South Korea, Israel and Palestine. I kept waiting for a pigeon to light on his shoulder.(more)

Wagah Review

What we get are mainly corny lines like how fences between nations cannot stop the wind from blowing from one side to the other, and how one country's destruction will not result in the development of another. But with no proper set-ups, they end up as being unintentionally funny. The Kumaravelan who gave us Haridas would have latched on to such moments and underscored the bitter irony of how a person, who is from a place 3000km away is accepted in Kashmir, while another, who lives a mere 20km from her grandfather's home, is told that she doesn't belong there.(more)

A tottering script blanketed in hyperbole

Kumaravelan�s script seems as messy as Vasu does in the opening scenes of Wagah. The director is completely at a loss -- unable to decide whether his work should be an epic romance or a lesson in patriotism. There is one sequence when Vasu is fisting (every time he gets hold of a gun, he throws it away!) the Pakistani soldiers to the background score of Vande Mataram. Clearly a case of trying to force patriotic fervour out of the audiences. In this muddle, Wagah begins to look like an awfully amateurish effort.(more)

An Army-man story with a humanitarian touch

Wagah impresses as a cross-border conflict flick with more emphasis on human emotions and humanitarian values. Over dependence on cinematic liberties spoils the impact it ought to have created.(more)
