Paltan (2018)
33KPaltan (2018). 2h 30m | Not Rated
“Paltan is pretty slow, is simplistic in all moments apart from those at the border, where it comes to gritty and realistic life. nThe relentless jostling for position, the eerie quiet in the barren plateaus of Sikkim, the reverberating hammer, driving the stake to the ground, where inch by inch, India washed the demons of 1962.nIts as if you are there, and watching the action. So, unlike a Bollywood movie, things happen slowly. Therefore itu0026#39;s not going to be a hit. Yet, if anyone needs to understand whatu0026#39;s happening on the LAC day in and day out at Arunachal and Ladakh, this is a must see.nJP Dutta uses his motifs of letters from loved ones, calls to them, and the mandatory flashbacks, yet he doesnu0026#39;t quite create the magic of the iconic u0026#39;Borderu0026#39;.”
