Its so amazing and refreshing to see a coming of age of the Indian armed forces disguised as a war movie . No fake patriotism, no unnecessary jingoism ... well done team #GunjanSaxenaTheKargilGirl . Super performances, writing but what a brilliant new director #SharanSharma

Meanwhile, users are far from pleased with Janhvi Kapoor's performance in the movie and are having a field day with the Karan Johar film.

Will surely be a watchable movie, and as usual Pankaj Tripathi becomes one of the main reasons for the same.#JhanviKapoor #GunjanSaxenaTheKargilGirl pic.twitter.com/8spBAj47xV
