Summary Script revolves around a plot by 'Indian agents' to carry out the biggest ever blast in Pakistan.
LAHORE (Web Desk) - As a police compound here comes under terror attack, an Indian female agent cum social worker in Pakistan is dancing with a mercenary celebrating their success.
This is a scene from Waar , a film doing roaring business in Pakistan.
The script revolves around a plot by Indian agents to carry out the biggest ever blast in Pakistan.
Waar opened on Wednesday on 42 screens across Pakistan and set a new record of box-office collections pertaining to Eid openings.
After a first day opening of Rs 11.4 million the big budget flick earned a total of Rs 42.6 million till Friday night, breaking all previous records of Eid collections.
Waar has also broken first day record set by King Khan s Chennai Express that had earned around nine million rupees on Eid-ul-Fitr.
The film has received mixed response from film critics but has been hailed by many ultra-nationalists here who blame India for kidnapping, terror or assassinations that take place in Pakistan.
Not only that, the film bizarrely suggests that even the dreaded Pakistani Taliban is controlled by India.
"The entire patriotic narrative that RAW is backing Khawarij, political traitors and terrorists in Pakistan has been depicted well in WAAR," Zahid Hamid, said on Twitter.
However, many are also have a different view.
"Propaganda is one thing, and can be found in any wood . I just wanted better scripting and continuity," Zarrar Khuhro, an analyst tweeted.
Waar is a story about a retired army officer who had taken an early retirement from the forces due to personal reasons.
This lead role is played by one of Pakistan s top actor Shaan.
A special task force of the police is trying to tackle terrorism and none but the retired Major Ehtesham can lead such a complicated operation to get rid of the chemical bomb.
The villain is a female RAW agent, who works as a social worker by day and honey-traps willing politicians by nights, and a mercenary who crosses into Pakistan from India across the LoC.
Though the script of the movie is highly debatable, the technical and overall feel of the film is a welcome change. Off late, Pakistani film industry, referred to as Lollywood, has come out with some fine works.
The hype around the movie has ensured that theatres are packed. Though one could see occasional claps in the theatre, many also came out not impressed.
