Plot

The movie revolves around two skilled agents, Kabir (played by Hrithik Roshan) and Khalid (played by Tiger Shroff), who find themselves on opposite sides of a dangerous mission.

Kabir, a highly experienced and revered agent, goes rogue after a series of targeted attacks on Indian agents. As a result, the Indian intelligence agency appoints Khalid, a talented yet inexperienced officer, to track down and bring Kabir to justice.

The chase spans various exotic locations, from Morocco to Kerala, as Khalid relentlessly pursues Kabir. Khalid's journey becomes more challenging as he discovers Kabir's exceptional skills and his ability to outsmart his pursuers at every turn. The plot thickens as Khalid starts to question the motives behind Kabir's actions.

As the story unfolds, it is revealed that Kabir's intentions are not as malicious as they initially seemed. He is on a personal mission to uncover a conspiracy that goes deep into the heart of the intelligence agency. Kabir believes that certain high-ranking officials are involved in illegal activities, compromising national security.

Khalid gradually learns about Kabir's motives and realises that they share a common goal. Reluctantly, the two agents decide to join forces to expose the truth behind the conspiracy. Together, they devise a plan to infiltrate the organisation responsible for the attacks and bring the corrupt officials to justice.

It created a wave of excitement among audiences before its release on 2nd October 2019, which also happened to be the auspicious occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.

With a rating of 72% on the popular review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 15 reviews, the film managed to captivate audiences with its adrenaline-pumping action sequences and engaging storyline, earning an average rating of 7/10.

Taran Adarsh, a well-known film critic, awarded the movie four stars out of five, praising it as escapist cinema at its best.

Adarsh's review reflects his appreciation for the film's ability to provide an exhilarating and immersive experience for viewers.

According to Adarsh, War excelled in delivering this experience, making it a highly enjoyable watch.

Komal Nahta, a respected film analyst from Film Information, shared a similar sentiment about the film.

Character Analysis

War Character Analysis Image.tring.jpg

Kabir is a compelling character due to his complex nature. On the one hand, he is a trained Indian Intelligence Bureau officer with a strong commitment to safeguarding the country. However, his decision to become a rogue agent throws all of his prior commitments into question. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that Kabir has a distinct sense of justice, alluding to the principle that things are not always as black and white as they seem.

Khalid is a character stricken by numerous internal conflicts—his loyalty towards Kabir, the desire to prove his innocence, and his responsibility to his country. Even though his intentions seem clear, Khalid must navigate through a maze of confusion, deceit, and personal conflict. His development across the movie—and his transition from being passionately respectful towards Kabir to seeing him as a potential threat—reveals more about his layers as a character.

Naina encapsulates the essence of a bold, independent woman determined to make her mark in a heavily male-dominated sphere..

Colonel Luthra portrays the quintessential military figure, upholding strict principles of duty, loyalty, and justice. His attitude and actions reflect his deep sense of patriotism—showing unwavering faith in the system, even when faced with personal emotional turmoil over Kabir's betrayal.
