An an actor Vijay Raaz is quite well. But, as a director he is not that well. Music is average and storyline of first half of the movie is far better than ending. One time watch movie for the Bollywood fans.

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.

Kya Dilli, Kya Lahore (Hindi): This is yet another Gentle Classic of this year after 'Aankhon Dekhi' which is actually worth your buck for a good cinematic experience which gently shows the romance between two torn nations behind its pathetic politics. The film has a great script (Aseem Arora, Pratham Jolly and Manu Rishi) which, despite having no pace or action has a great structure, crackling dialogues by Manu Rishi, good production design and sound design, brilliant music score by Sandesh Shandiliya, cinematography by Raj Chakraborty which beautifully captures the tension and humaneness and last but not the least, the compact cast (Vijay Raaz, Manu Rishi, Vishwajeet and Raj Zutshi) which is simply humane and riveting. The problem with the film is that it lacks compactness which was there in the 2002 Academy Award winning Bosnian film 'No Man's Land', whose shades can be seen in the film. Overall, debut director Vijay Raaz's direction added with Gulzar's poetry make the film worth a watch. My rating would be: 4/5

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
