ATHWS[ Go to Replies ] [ Go Back to Box Office Forum ] Posted by luckyt66 on December 27, 2004 at 14:36:33: PB critized ATHWS in their current box office report, and taran adarsh said it was a bad, dissapointing, anti-pak movie, and rediff said it was a good movie, but a muddle after reading reviews of ATHWS, i was thinking about whether i should see it in theathers or not, but i went and saw it with my family, and i am glad i did, it was a great movie. the theather was almost full, and during the movie people were repeatedly clapping for dialogues of amitabh bachan and akshay kumar, i have never seen or heard people clapping during an indian movie in theathers in america (i have been living here for 10 years, and i see a lot of indian movies in theathers), people clap all the time during a movie in india, but for me this was a first in america and about the movie, a lot of people made the movie out to be anti-pak, but it wasn't, the movie starts out in year 1971, so pakistan was india's enemy then. the makers of the film cant change history, so they had to show pakistan as the enemy in the beggening of the movie, but things start changing in the end the movie is good, it moves at a good pace, and has good songs (almost all have a big, grand picturisation)- my personal favorite songs were Chali Aa, and Kurti Malmal Ki the performances were great, this is another performance of akshay kumar that his fans will love, amitabh is good, and bobby deol is great, he does everything in the movie- and i liked him best, and the love triangle in the movie was good, and different the climax is the best part of the movie, it comes out suddenly, but it's not confusing, but its great, and it makes a strong impact, and ends the movie off well go watch this movie in theathers, dont expect it to be brilliant, or the best movie of the year, but expect it to be great, and you wont be dissapointed, the film does have a few minus points, but the good points outnumber it, and this movie is definitely on of the better ones to come out this year, and it ends the year off well with being the last big movie of the year. and with no big film releasing at the box office for the next 2 weeks, this film should do good business i would give ATHWS- 8/10 and the music also an- 8/10
