1962: The War In The Hills Review: Mahesh Manjrekarâs War Show Is A Weird Balance Of Good & Bad, Latter Overpowers
With shows like The Family Man or Kaafir working for the same zone, do we really need 1962: The War In The Hills?
1962: The War In The Hills Review:
Star Rating: 2.5/5 Star (Two and a Half Star)
The war genre in the Hindi arena has seen a drastic evolution ever since I remember my first experience with Border (1997). It is not just about the men in uniform dying for the country on the battlefield anymore, but also what happens behind it too.

But at the same time, when the shows on defence troops, including The Family Man or Kaafir, have shown us the best of it, are we ready to settle down for something less than or in between that? Letâs find out.
