Heroes

I am not talking about Bollywood or Hollywood heroes here. I just want to inform you that the most recent movie i watched was "Heroes", a hindi film. A patriotic one. It a totally different war movie. You do not see the pains of war, but mostly, the movie shows the glory of it. It doesn't mean to wage a war. It shows the pride of a soldier while fighting for his country.

Samir Karnik’s film does manage to say what it set out to: that pride (the Hindi ‘garv’ is a better word) keeps the families of the deceased soldiers going, that we civilians sleep peacefully only because someone has given up his life for us, and that we have a country only because we have a brave ‘fauji’ guarding our borders.



This will not be the best film you will see, but, it is definitely worth watching.


Just give it a try!
