Review of Border

Border (I) (1997)
10/10
Extremely Jingoistic, Chauvinistic.... but still very convincing
24 July 2009
How can a movie which is full of jingoism & Chauvenism categorize as a legendary bollywood movie? Well, honestly speaking, i don't know. But what i do know is that whenever this movie is shown on TV, i still make it a point that i don't miss even one second of it. Thats the real genius of the movie. It has caught the aspirations of many patriotic indians like me and hence, has succeeded in showcasing the same in the best possible way(minus the jingoism). Though, this movie would not appeal much to the International audience (Let alone Pakis), but it has always struck a chord with the millions of Indians who have seen this movie. I was 11 when this movie released. I remember that after i and my friends had watched it in the theater, we used to pretend to be the characters of the movie while playing. The performances are really convincing, including that of Jackie Shroff even though he is hardly seen on the screen. If anyone(especially any Indian) is reading this comment, i suggest that you quickly grab a DVDof this movie).
