‘War’ film review: Action-thriller around intelligence body well done

It is rare to find an example of a Hindi action-thriller based around an intelligence body well done, which doesn’t rely on an invisible list of very specifically Indian nationalist cliches. Siddharth Anand’s War is that rarity, making War film review a great by the audiences. It is a story of a senior army officer Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) — the teacher — gone rogue as the defence now allocates another army officer Khalid (Tiger Shroff) — the student — to find and kill him. A chase begins and we — the audience — are never sure of the direction. But War’s style and swagger ask questions of its intent, one which justifies the choices of its creators.
