One of my biggest, long-running pet peeves against contemporary Indian cinema is our apparent love for bombastic, wall-to-wall background music. Our filmmakers encourage composers to accentuate every crest and trough in the story-graph with overpowering m

'The idea behind Kya Dilli Kya Lahore is to once again point out the futility of war as well as highlight why human comes before being. And Vijay Raaz accomplishes that to a reasonable extent in his first filmmaking effort,' says Sukanya Verma."Lakeerein

What clearly doesn't work in favour of the film is its background score and songs composed by Sandesh Shandilya of 'Kahie Khushi Kabhie Gham' fame. Had it been appropriate and effectively employed, the impact could have been more intense. At close to two

The territory is similar to 'No Man's land' the Bosnian drama that tripped Amir Khan's 'Lagaan' to win the Best Foreign Film Oscar. Unfortunately there's little depth in the drama, the conflict is poorly structured and the ensuing experience is just not affecting.

Have you ever sat in a boring History class and dozed off with the dreary explanation of the teacher about things of the past? If you have, then KYA DILLI KYA LAHORE is one such class where the partition of India, cross-border references and Muhammad Ali

There`s something to be said about a film that takes so many risks with mainstream tastes that it automatically becomes a part of an endangered species of cinema known as Noble Art.;They don`t make movies like these. Not any more. Not too often in the

The anti-war theme the short runtime the stagey enactment of convenient brotherhood makes for a febrile enchantment. But the lack of depth and tension poor exposition and development leave you disappointed as well!

What to do: With a better script and a better storyline the film would have been able to make a better impression.
