Movie Review: Kya Dilli Kya Lahore - There's something about the film that reminds you of the Bosnian Oscar winner 'No Man’s Land'
Read the full reviewYou know exactly how it's going to end, you know this is technically a partition story set within the simplistic confines of a low-budget (anti) war drama.
Read the full reviewIf good intentions were enough to make a good film, then Kya Dilli Kya Lahore would be a winner. Its a compelling idea with ineffectual execution. The plot might have made good theater but as cinema, its staggeringly tedious.
The story is arresting, but one wishes actor-director Vijay Raaz's direction was as strong as his performance. The storytelling is clever but falters on the pacing.
Read the full reviewAt close to two hours, 'Kya Dilli Kya Lahore' is slow paced and might not interest those who want lots of action and love roller coaster ride through the story.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know
In 1948, a cross-fire erupts at an isolated stretch of Indo-Pak border, leaving only two soldiers alive. One is an Indian soldier of Pakistani origin while the other happens to be a Pakistani soldier of Indian origin. An ironic story of pride and survival begins when – in an attempt to evade danger, they bump into each other. And amidst continuous exchange of bullets, altercations and murkier situations, it evolves into a journey of human connection with an unforeseeable end.
