War Chhod Na Yaar (2013) Watch Online | Bollywood HD Movies

The first half of War Chhod Na Yaar has the pitch-perfect tone of a war comedy with some real gems that bind the narrative, writes Nishi Tiwari. When our mind is free of ideas of what human relationships ought to be or when we are simply pressed for options, we forge the unlikeliest of associations.

Faraz Haider makes that primal need for human contact the focus of his story in his directorial debut War Chhod Na Yaar. Hailed as India’s first war comedy, implying as if the film needs to be watched on that merit alone, War Chhod Na Yaar stars Sharman Joshi, Jaaved Jaffrey and Soha Ali Khan in lead roles. Joshi’s Raj and Jaffrey’s Qureshi serve as Captains of the Indian and Pakistani armies respectively, stationed at the border. Despite serving on opposing sides, Raj and Qureshi are friends who often spend slow days verbally sparring -- there are a lot of genuinely funny and witty exchanges between the two -- and playing antakshari.

Joshi and Jafferey in the comic scenes make a formidable pair. We are all familiar with Sharman Joshi’s killer comic timing and Javed Jaffrey’s acting prowess, who’s shined only sporadically in his long career, thanks to lack of original writing or roles. And then there’s Soha Ali Khan as Rut Dutta (presumably fashioned after Barkha Dutt?), an aggressive television journalist who comes across as meek and only slightly aloof.

She’s commissioned by the Union Defense Minister of the country (Dalip Tahil) to cover a story about an impending Indo-Pak war at the border. Speaking of Dalip Tahil, the actor plays four roles in the film -- he is also seen as the Defence Minster of Pakistan, China and the USA, as conspirators of the war.
