There are movies with entirely imaginative stories, where directors aim to elevate the narrative through the grandeur of the big screen.
Then there are real-life stories that directors attempt to adapt for the screen, striving to do justice to the original events.
And then there's Siddharth Anand, who first twists a real event into his own fantasy and then proceeds to ruin it with subpar plotting, a weak storyline, and dreadful visual effects.
In attempting to emulate Top Gun, Hindi cinema not only misses the mark but completely loses the essence of the film. While Top Gun begins with a tower flyover, Hindi cinema takes it to absurd heights, with planes flying upside down over runways, thankfully without scraping the asphalt or featuring the hero lighting a cigar or busting a dance move mid-flight.
The beginning of the movie is not just a poor imitation but perhaps a D-grade copy of top gun.
Hrithik Roshan seems to have misjudged his role, as if starring in War wasn't enough to make him realize it's not his forte, especially when the same director and team have already produced a similar action movie. It's not just about acting in a copied Hollywood movie but also in your own.
Deepika Padukone barely gets any meaningful role in the movie, apart from forced scenes, unnecessary songs, and trying to grab some screen time with Hrithik Roshan, who not only acts selfishly in the movie but seemingly in real life too.
The rest of the movie is filled with the same tired tropes of portraying Pakistan forces in a negative light, along with the usual Bollywood imaginings of Pakistan, its people, and language.
It's a bad movie from the very start until the end, where the Hindi cinema maverick decides to transform into Rambo.
P. S.
Anil Kapoor, someone forgot to tell him that it was Hritikh copying Tom Cruise and it was not his role to play.
