Not A Gud LAKSHYA ..........
Yup ! Every one expected a lot from Farhan Akhtar ..... i think therez not much in the movie which will click as DCH did, now therez no Aamir and Saif here to save this movie, Again Hrithik has proved that he is a Gud Actor but only in his Production House ...

lakshya is amazing
Lakshya is a good movie. Its a must-watch for every Indian, and its definitely going to be india's entry to the Foreign Film category of the Oscars! 
its a masterpiece by farhan & javed akhtar (dialogues), and has superlative acting by hritik, preity, sushant and om puri. (for once, amitabhs a lil off colour)

Lakshya review
LAKSHYA
The hero does not have a grand entry in this movie, and neither does he fly through the air! Not too long ago, we had Major Ram Sharma skating past bullets in the introductory scene of Main Hoon Na, and we also saw him flying through the air holding a gun in one hand and a rickshaw in the other! Perhaps the only scene in Lakshya where Hritik Roshan does not play his character Karan Shergill, is while dancing in the song "Main Aisa Kyon Hoon"!
From start to finish, Lakshya is the story of Karan Shergill. And it sticks to it. It doesn't have any parallel stories to muddle up the screenplay. The journey of a carefree college-going lad who, as you would expect, chooses the army as his goal just because it sounds fancy. Any other movie would show a superhero in action at the training camp right from day one. But in this masterpiece, the transformation of Karan from an aimless boy to a determined young man has been depicted beautifully. Everyone in the protagonist’s life plays a role in his eventual discovery of himself. His best friend and girlfriend, Romila Dutta (played by the effervescent Preity Zinta), is one of the catalysts which propels him towards his goal. Notably, the lovers have work as their topmost priority – he is a committed army officer and she an enterprising news reporter. They aren’t a Devdas and Paro who have love as their occupation, and yet their feelings appear to be more deep and pure.
Karan’s friends are responsible for at least making him want to decide on a goal in life. The way one of them chooses in favour of going to the US for an MBA echoes the scenario in India. Karan’s mother is supportive of his decisions but his father is always critical. All the subtle confrontations and silent hostility between father and son are resolved in a wonderful way when his fate hangs in balance.
The difference between Karan as Mr. Aimless and as Mr. Determined is reflected not only by a change in hairstyles, but in the way Hritik acts! As Mr. Aimless his acting is light, with “I’m ultra cool, brash and confused” pouring out of him. When Mr. Determined is on screen, the eyes smoulder with passion, while the acting is restrained and serious.
In one scene, Karan Shergill conveys his disgust for the enemy without actually saying anything. Yet everyone in the audience understands what he wants to express. That is the magic of Lakshya. There are many junctures in the narrative where only the eyes express everything, and there are many more instances where a smattering dialogue enraptures the audience. Then there’s the action. Death-defying stunts for sure, but fans of Main Hoon Na will be disappointed. The action is as real as it gets. And for those who think the awesome mountain climbing scene was not necessary, read about Kargil. That’s what our soldiers had to do, it was not inspired by the flick Mission Impossible.
All the pre-release interviews heckled Farhan Akhtar with questions like "Is the movie anti-Pakistan". Farhan may have been diplomatic in his answer, but this movie is about a true event. The Kargil War actually took place and hundreds of our soldiers were martyred.. they fell prey to Pakistani bullets. The movie does not declare that Pakistan is a rogue nation, but you cannot deny the fact that what they did in Kargil was thievery. Treat Lakshya as a historical. The war took place five years back, but its not late for the sacrifice of our soldiers to sink in. Meaningful cinema is rare in India, so go watch Lakshya. It has a message… and its not just for the Youth.
The movie is spellbinding and deserves a ***** rating. If your expectations from a movie include any the following qualities -- originality, good script, powerful dialogues, smashing performances, realism, sensibility, velvet emotions and lack of sleaze -- then you'll watch Lakshya at least twice to soak in all of it.

How dare u!!!!
A movie which shows pakistan as enemy is a good movie!?
So what if 1000's of Indian soldiers are killed fighting paksitan sponsored terrorrists everyyear and 100's killed in icy heights of kargil evicting pakis?? India and pakistan are chums now and any movie which pays tribute to Indian soldier is anti-paksitan and anti-peace movie.
How dare you call Lakshya a good movie, you hate monger!

That was a good review, rainer. Though it seems like it was written by Hrithik's mother.
The official review on this site has other views. I didn't see the movie yet. I didn't like the promos. After reading your review, however, I want to watch it. Just in case I need to pay you a social visit, after watching it and hating it, where can I unleash my chainsaw?
But I'm hoping that the guy who made DCH will not dissappoint. Here's what we'll do. We'll do this vodoo that I do which even you do to woo woo good spirits. It's simple -
Say 'lakshya', 'lakshya' and 'lakshya' in various accents. Drive pins into a doll. Make the doll dance to 'ek pal ka jina.' Wear a wig and do that chicken step from 'woh ladki hain kahan.' Close your eyes. You'll be locked up in an asylum after that. Being dissapointed will be the last thing on your mind.

hritik's mother would probably love "main aisa kyon hoon". but i didnt. i'm a fan of hritiks acting but i hate it when he overdoes the dancing!!!
watch the movie.... i dont think 40 rupees is a reason good enough to miss it.

hehehe, you're right. we indians watch only "superhit" movies like Main Hoon Na, where the terrorist is supposedly a fellow indian (an over-patriotic one). i dont know where farah khan cooked that up... she should consult javed akhtar for details on the real scenario.

I think the CBFC in India is a truly messed up organization. They consider only hindi movies for the Oscars when the hindi film industry is probably the worst in the whole country. I thnk the whole system of sending indian movies to the Oscars has to be changed

India should be allowed to send 2 entries... one slot for hindi and one for the best regional film.
the problem is they waste even that sole entry by giving it to average movies like Devdas in 2002.. they should have sent The Legend of Bhagat Singh.

Pretty decent movie except that one scene where Hrithik forgets his dialogue. I think that Amitabh and Om Puri were a wasted sign-up.
Also its very easy to predict the soldiers, who'll eventually die, 5 minutes into the movie.
