Film review:

The utmost word is Pakistani Army, Pakistan Red Crescent, Pakistan Govt., Indian govt. all knew about the prisoners at last but no one could do any action about the prisoners. So, the prisoners of the war of Indo-Pakistan had a bad luck to stay in Pakistani jails. Media could not publish any news about the secret matter. They are not allowed to publish the news that any prisoner is confined in any Pakistani jail. It will be the best war movie about the life of the prisoners of war in the Indo-Pakistan. Most realistic movie experience had been ever, I swear. You cannot pull in any second in the movie. The emotional scenes must bring tear in eyes. Commendable dialogue, screenplay, direction are noticed in oneline review and on some social media sites. The film signs most realistic scene specially the background scene and the conflict. But we should take it as an entertaining classic film. As it is not a political or historical film but gives realistic dramatic statement. ‘A great escape of POWs’ it can be named as another title of the film as the film provides the scene of the POW’s escape. Patriotism of Indian Soldiers is described in this film on the contrary Pakistani soldier’s role is controversial in the sphere of repatriation according to the Geneva Convention rules and UN repatriation rules. Pakistani Colonel said, ‘Consider it as kindness to you (Indian soldiers {prisoners of War}) that you are still alive’. In the reply Major Suraj Singh said, ‘we only showed kindness to the 93 thousands Pakistani soldiers who were sent to Pakistan alive and fearlessly. And we have been feeling your torture here in Barak no.6 for 3 months.’ There is a cinematic flaw in the film that is the death of the wounded soldiers was a continuous process. In every scene, a soldier is being dead but another is being wounded then he is also being dead. So, it is a continuous process and very predictable but still effective. Indian Army enter into the liberation war of Bangladesh on 3rd December, 1971 and winning came o 16th December, 1971. But during this a lot of Indian soldiers are confined in Pakistan jails for example Multan jail in Pakistan. At the end of the film Gurtu in Multan jail remembers his 5 martyred mates who tried to escape from Pakistan to India. He had also been martyred if Pakistani Army shot him.
