LIVE
review
of
1971
Beyond
Borders
from
Lakshmi
Theatre,
Bangalore...
9.50
AM:
A
pretty
good
theatre
status
for
1971
Beyond
Borders,
that
too
for
a
morning
show
in
a
centre
outside
Kerala...
Speaks
a
lot
about
the
star
power
of
Mohanlal...
9.55
AM:
The
show
is
expected
to
begin
by
10
AM
#1971BeyondBorders
10.01
AM:
And
the
show
begins...
A
loud
round
of
applause
for
the
crowd's
favourite
Lalettan...
10.04
AM:
Well,
there
is
a
reason
for
Mammootty
fans
to
cheer...
#1971BeyondBorders
10.14
AM:
A
good
thought
to
begin
with
on
humanity
and
peace...
10.23
AM:
One
of
the
most
awaited
scenes
of
the
movie...
Major
Sahadevan's
entry...
10.38
AM:
The
song
Oru
Vaakkinal
has
been
well-picturised....
But
the
placement
of
the
song
affects
the
pace
of
the
movie
a
bit...
10.51
AM:
Expecting
some
well-shot
war
scenes
in
1971
Beyond
Borders...
10.57
AM:
Certain
sequences
are
a
repetition
of
what
we
saw
in
Major
Ravi's
previous
movies...
11.01
AM:
Back
in
action...
The
film
regains
the
pace!!
11.08
AM:
Mohanlal's
Sahadevan
is
in
full
form...
Real
fiery
dialogues
that
boost
the
movie...
11.10
AM:
And
it's
half
time
for
1971
Beyond
Borders...
So
far,
it
is
an
average
fare
with
the
film
losing
pace
here
and
there...
Certain
sequences
would
remind
you
of
Major
Ravi's
earlier
movies...
But
Mohanlal
is
in
full
form
as
Major
Sahadevan
and
he
has
shouldered
many
of
the
scenes
in
the
movie...
Well,
the
end
portions
of
the
first
half
of
1971
Beyond
Borders
are
promising
and
if
the
movie
maintains
the
momentum
in
the
second
half,
we
shall
definitely
have
a
good
movie
in
hands...
11.22
AM:
Major
Ravi
has
crafted
a
really
touching
emotional
scene
here...
11.30
AM:
Mohanlal
driving
a
military
tank
on
his
own...
Impressive..!!
11.34
AM:
Oh
no...
It
is
hard
to
understand
why
songs
are
being
placed
in
the
most
appropriate
way...
Simply
hampering
the
flow
of
the
movie...
11.41
AM:
Some
riveting
moments
on
screens...
#1971BeyondBorders
11.44
AM:
The
much-talked
about
action
sequences
involving
military
tanks
have
been
shot
extremely
well
in
1971
Beyond
Borders...
11.51
AM:
Arunoday
Singh
is
mighty
impressive
and
he
is
so
far
the
best
among
the
supporting
actors
in
1971
Beyond
Borders...
12.03
PM:
For
all
those
who
have
seen
movies
like
LOC
Kargil
and
Border,
the
war
sequences
in
1971
Beyond
Borders
would
be
a
disappointing
fare...
12.17
PM:
Underlying
message
of
1971
Beyond
Borders
is
an
inspiring
one
12.22
PM:
And
that
is
an
end
to
the
movie...
Altogether
1971
Beyond
Borders
is
really
an
average
fare
with
some
glimpses
of
brilliance
here
and
there...
Despite
having
a
good
message
to
deliver,
the
film
falters
in
many
places...
But
still,
Mohanlal
and
Arunoday
Singh
are
mighty
impressive
and
they
are
the
big
positives
of
the
movie....
The
movie
is
based
on
the
1971
war
between
India
and
Pakistan.
1971
Beyond
Borders
is
reported
to
be
having
a
record
release
all
over
India.
In
Kerala
alone,
the
movie
will
be
screened
in
above
200
theatres
and
the
movie
will
be
eyeing
to
set
some
big
box
office
records.
Mohanlal-Major
Ravi
team's
previous
two
ventures
Karmayodha
and
Kandahar
failed
to
attract
the
audiences.
Will
the
team
get
back
to
hits
with
1971
Beyond
Borders?
Will
1971
Beyond
Borders
give
Mohanlal
the
fourth
blockbuster
in
a
row?
To
get
the
answers,

live
