Snapshot of the story

First half of the movie can be related to boy next door as Karan (Played by Hrithik Roshan) recently graduated from college and totally confused what to do in life. His mind keeps changing every day. However no dream is too big if he decides to achieve something and it is just the matter to when we realizes that dream.

Farhan Akhtar Aims Big with: Lakshya

Farhan Akhtar keeps reinvesting the ideal to fascinate the audience and especially young audience. After “Dil Chahta Hai” he comes with “Lakhya” with his signature style direction of story telling and some chart topper songs and choreographed by “Prabhu Deva”.
In the story Hrithik comes from rich family and after college he is confused what to in life as his father wants him to join family business like his elder brother. One fine day with his friend he fills the employment form of armed forces and gets the interview call. However his friend denies as he has taken in the MBA College. Hrithik has a girl friend Romi (Played by Preity Zinta) and both are dating each other from long time. Preity Zinta motivates him to go for it as this could be he is looking for but Hrithik’s entire family is against him specially his dad.
Against everyone, he goes to military academy but the tough training of army grills him a lot and decides to run out if the academy. This decision was not appreciated by his father and Preity Zinta and this becomes the point when there is crack in relationship with Preity Zinta. Hrithik went back to compete his training and get commissioned there and in the mean time extending his passion to his career Preity Zinta has become the Television Reporter.

Twist in the Tale

Priety Zinta goes to cover the war against Indian and Pakistan and come to know about Hrithik. This past of the movie has different emotions of romance, drama, action and patriotism. Second half of the movie has more of war scenes and touches lots of high moments. This is where their old love takes a new spring.

Conclusion

Story runs very slow and at time make you feel bore. Story runs on the straight note and has very few twists. Amitabha bachchan looks very nice if the small role as major of the army. Hrithik was very good and Priety look very beautiful as ever.

Rating
Story fails to make much impact on the audience and I will give it 7 out of 10 for some of the best dialog and songs by Javed Akhtar and to all the technical team which has to work in freezing condition of Kashmir and Ladakh.
