| Bollywood Greatest War Classic-"Border' |
Border 1997
A great film. The Movie is an attempt to bring into limelight the Historic Battle of Longewala located in Rajasthan. The characters have been carefully chosen and developed beautifully in the movie. The Battle appears almost real with men at their respective positions as in actual battle. The intensity is high and so is the depiction of morale.
This film is another working of a fantastic experienced talent of J P Dutta. the characters in the film really do shine and bring out the best performances. Rarely has an Indian movie depicted the personal traumas that confront soldiers and their families, truthfully exhibited by actors.
Border is the best war movie with mind-blowing action. Everyone gave powerful performances, lead by the star, Sunny Deol. He was perfect as the brave Sardarji army man, and this is definitely his greatest performance of the 90's (even more intense than Ghayal, Ghatak, Ziddi).
As an actor, you have to learn a lot from this movie
