When you watch only the first half and rush out of the theatre, you can only rate the film on a 2.5 scale. Hero joins the army and goes to Kashmir because he will get free booze. He meets the heroine there. A “Roja”ish “Bombay” starts in Kashmir. That’s when you realise that the Kashmiri heroine is a Pakistani. The heroine goes in a bus, the bus crosses the line of control Veli (fence) and the director declares Idai”Veli”. This is the moment we decided to jump the fence…well out of the theatre. If any brave soul watches the second half, let me know the balance score.
