Pukar Movie Review :

Pukar aka “The Call” is a movie about how a soldier (Jaidev played by Anil Kapoor) raises to the occasion whenever his nation calls irrespective of his personal issues. What makes Pukar interesting is that, inside the story there is also a different kind of pukar, the call from a dear one (Anjali played by Madhuri Dixit) who truly loves him but he does not feel or see or responds to her love. Rajkumar Santhoshi blends these two “pukar”s very nicely with right amount of emotion, beautiful visuals, stunts and, entertains us for about 3hrs.

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.8 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 2149.

Critics Rating by Shay M Nuggu, from Times Of India give 3.5 star out of 5 Star.
