Waar (Urdu: وارWār; IPA:[ʋɑːr], transl. The Strike) is a 2013 Pakistani action-thriller film directed by Bilal Lashari (in his feature directorial debut),[7] written by Hassan Rana, and produced by Syed Mujtaba Tirmizi. [8] The film stars Shaan Shahid as Major Mujtaba Rizvi, a retired Pakistan Army Officer while Meesha Shafi, Ali Azmat, Shamoon Abbasi, Ayesha Khan, and Kamran Lashari star in supporting roles.[9]
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.[4][10] One incident included a terrorist attack on a Police Academy at Lahore in 2009.[11][12]
The film opened to highly positive reviews, and was Pakistan's highest anticipated film at that time. It is considered to be Pakistan's twelve-highest-grossing movie of all time.[13] A sequel titled, Waar 2 was announced shortly after the film's release, but ultimately stalled in development.
