LAKSHYA ... My goal

Well at least I managed to achieve my goal of watching Lakshya the movie... LOL. Went to a movie with the family after a long time (been a year or so.) Lakshya turned out to be a nice movie full of Farhan Akthars freshness.
The story isn't your regular war movie. It's about a boy looking for a goal in his life. He stumbles upon the Army by chance and then how he turns into a hero during the Kargil conflict. The movie is a bit of both fact and fiction. This is because the reporter in the movie(Preity Zinta) bears an uncanny resemblance to Barkha Dutt of Star news. Also the fact that Totoling ridge a stratergic post overlooking the Leh highway was freed by a young bond and PVC recipient Capt. Vikram Batra. But in the movie Barkha Dutt becomes Romilla Dutta and Vikram Batra becomes Capt. Karan Shergill. Also there was no love between the real characters but more of a mutual admiration.

You have to catch this movie, atleast once give it a shot.
