Wiki.
Waar (Urdu: وار Wār; IPA: [ʋɑːr], transl. The Strike) is a 2013 Pakistani action-thriller film directed by Bilal Lashari (in his feature directorial debut), written by Hassan Rana, and produced by Syed Mujtaba Tirmizi, it stars Shaan Shahid as Major Mujtaba Rizvi, a retired Pakistan Army Officer, Meesha Shafi, Ali Azmat, Shamoon Abbasi, Ayesha Khan, and Kamran Lashari. The film follows Major Mujtaba Rizvi (Shahid), an officer, who returns from his retirement to save Pakistan from a major terrorist attack.
It is a stylized depiction of events surrounding Pakistan's efforts to conduct a war on terror on state-sponsored terror groups, which resulted in warfare among tribal units in North-West Pakistan. One incident included a terrorist attack on a Police Academy at Lahore in 2009.The film opened to positive reviews, and was Pakistan's highest anticipated film at that time. It is considered to be Pakistan's eleventh-highest-grossing movie of all time. A sequel titled, Waar 2 is in development.
