WarSynopsis:
'Kurukshetra' is intended as a hard hitting movie, with a very few stories of heroism to balance the anti - war message hammered relentlessly through out. Planned as a fitting tribute to the lost souls who died in the combat recapturing the lost Indian land around LOC in Kargil, the movies emphasizes more on the irrelevance of war and the hypocrisy's behind these unwarranted ones.
The bulk of the movie is concerned with Colonal Mahadevan's (Mohanlal) Battalion's strategic operandi that led to the recapture of the hilly Kargil terrain. Though a portion of the movie is used to explore the feelings, fears and hopes of the soldiers involved, thereby recreating the manoeuvres and comment on the futility of war. Granted, I would liked to have had an explanation about how the war got started and the gruesome details on what really got everyone to the point of arms, and how the Indians strategically retorted, but it wasn't necessarily told in the film.
All movies about war tend to emphasize both the horror of war and the honor exhibited by certain participants. Also is 'Kurukshetra' which ends up as another "hero centric" movie woven around the deeds and activities of the protagonist colonel Mahadevan, who is valiantly piloting his troops at Kargil, The movie in its opening reels tries to introduce various characters and their hopes of joining their family and how they love their homeland. And in another half an hour arrive the colonel who is in charge to carry on the entire recapturing act.And thereafter the movie moves forward in an engaging pace, but through the eyes of protogonist.
