Releasing Waar in India (II)

Letter November 07, 2013
We see Indian flicks that portray a similar image (if not of the devil incarnate itself) of Pakistan.

KARACHI: Waar is an action flick (just like a lot of its Bollywood counterparts) aimed at entertaining people. We see Indian flicks that portray a similar image (if not of the devil incarnate itself) of Pakistan. My humble request to both sides is that before watching this movie or commenting on it, just repeat to yourselves, ‘it’s only a movie!’. Then perhaps, we will all act in a more mature manner.

Both countries are realities, are here to stay and both sides have and will continue to produce all kinds of movies (mostly for entertainment), thus we do not really need to lose sleep over such matters.
