Produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF), "War" released in 4000 screens. It received mixed reviews.
Our movie critic called War a ''flawed spectacle''. Beautiful locations, droolworthy actors, screenplay and dialogues are the likeable factors of the film.
On receiving such an overwhelming response from the audience, director Siddharth Anand said: "For all of us what matters most is that our film is receiving universal love and appreciation. It is one of the rarest of moments where kids, youth, families, older age segments are all loving a film and endorsing it incredibly positively.
"We are deeply thankful and humbled. We have made 'War' with a lot of passion, belief and love and it's fantastic to see audiences enjoying themselves to the fullest in the theatres. Our film is a big screen experience and we hope we entertain people across the length and breadth of our country in the days to come!"
