India - Pakistan 1971 War is being seen as the basis for the film and Pakistan attacks on Srinagar IAF base, Sakargarh sector and North Arabian Sea are taken has the main plot points.  While the makers have no intention to underplay, the loudness seems to be too much with Sunny Deol shouting at the top of his lungs. Even URI style, "how is the josh" seems to be infused into the dialogues. Anurag Singh, the director seems to be following to recreate JP Datta's classic war template for the film.  The teaser doesn't really appear to be novel and fresh from already witnessed troupes but if the film can generate good buzz prior to release, it might turn out to be another blockbuster for Indian Cinema.  Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.
