Kya Dilli Kya Lahore (2014)

Story, screenplay, direction, acting, cinematography all excellent. Have not seen such a beautiful movie in quite a long time.I was not aware of the directing capabilities of vijay raj. He is known for his superb acting. But through this movie we got to see another side of him. I could not believe that this is the only movie directed by him. So brilliantly done.Manu rishi has also played his character excellently. The story of the movie is very sensitive, it portrays very beautifully the fate of the common people at the time of war.I believe this is a must see movie for everyone.

There is satirical humor between two soldiers. The movie beautifully touches upon your emotions in a typical Gulzar style with a lot of humor great dialogues. This movie has no big sets but yes a good direction flawless execution with only 4 people in the movie who have a done a fantastic job .Specially for those who want to utilize their time and end up appreciating the movie . Not for people who love movies like Rowdy Rathore or Gunday etc. Its for people who loved Peepli live or Paan Singh Tomar .I would highly recommend to you to watch this movie and end up being happy about the Indian cinema and the debut direction by Vijay Raaz

Sometimes in the decade someone attempt to make a sensible film and this film is exactly that. i have watched in the afternoon show and it is brilliant and superb..The movie is an eye opener for those who sees 1947 Indo-Pak separation story as a guilt & unlawfulness. The movie talks about injustice happened with both the countries due to power hungry politicians and diplomats. The story begins with a hilarious conversations and altercations between Manu Rishi & Vijay Raaz. After the interval the story loses its grip due to prolonged scenes that were deliberately included to execute the end. Though a direction & punjabi music hold attention of viewer till the end. in 2014 Kya Dilli Kya Lahore is one of the finest movie that comprises of a unique combination of humour and seriousness. Vijay Raaz performed an exquisite role of Pakistani soldier who came across the border to steal a secretive files. He shows his well synchronized timing in sarcastic dialogues. The dialogues are well-written by Manu Rishi who also played a role of Indian military cook. There are so many funny punjabi words in the conversations between Manu Rishi and Vijay Raaz that create hilarious atmosphere. But, the movie goes at slow pace in second half. Somehow, the movie is not able to create an impact on audience due to lousy & abrupt end. Songs by Sukhwinder singh adds more value to generate authentic lahori-punjabi reverberations in the ears of audience. Kya Dilli Kya Lahore is a movie that assures a dose of entertainment. Vijay Raaz has directed the movie in his own way. But, it is commendable to see it on the screen. Dialogues by Manu Rishi is averagely good. The dialogues are well suited on both the characters of the movie. The movie is revolving around Manu Rishi & Vijay Raaz. Raj Zutshi tried hard to justify the character of Murphy, who is one of the cadet soldier. But, fell on his jaws. The film begins with well written lines from Gulzar Saab

I am quite unable to understand that why did director and makers choose this stuff to convert into a feature film? This film is full of audio conversation without any interesting visual support. Actually the dialogues do not require any other things to be told in this movie. Perfect for the ambiance and requirement of a play. Only four artists were needed and two of them are main. Yes, few dialogues by Manu Rishi are really good. Subject is so old and told many times. This film also does not explore any new expect. Mainly only one isolated location is very difficult to digest in a film. First half of the film is anyhow OK type but second half is unbearable. This film posters and promo were sounding better than today's being released film and above all Gulzar Saab name is associated with this film. So, I preferred to watch otherwise I would not have taken the risk. Performance wise Vijay RaaZ is very good. Manu Rishi is good. Raaj zutsi and Vishwajeet Pradhan (Captain) are OK.
