The Wall) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film written and directed by Milan Luthria, produced by Gaurang Doshi and co-written by S. Gopala Reddy.

Indian Army Major Ranvir Kaul and some 30 of his colleagues were captured in Pakistan and held under brutal conditions for 33 years (since the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971).

He raises the subject, and Pakistan will deny it, and immediately the men will be shot; he cannot authorize Army action absent hard evidence (not just a letter); there are no other options.

Gaurav meets Jabbar and discovers that his father has been transferred to a different prison camp, Saran Jail, under the cunning and sadistic warden Sohail Miyaan.

Gaurav attacks a military courier and, in the very act of using his uniforms, infiltrates a Pakistan Army office block.

Gaurav and Khan had planned the escape for the night of the tenth, and Jatin, the spy, had dutifully reported this back to Sohail.

The following day Khan notices the number 9 scrawled on an army supply truck entering the prison; it is Gaurav's reply.

Ranvir Kaul and Gaurav and the handful of remaining prisoners finally get across the border in a Pakistani army truck.

Kaul, now an Indian Army soldier, attacks and kills Sohail in hand-to-hand combat and throws his body across the border.

[3] Track list Taran Adarsh rated the film 3/5 and stated: "DEEWAAR has an impressive cast, but it is Amitabh Bachchan who towers above all with a splendid and power-packed performance.

Although his role isn't as well defined as that of Big B or Akshaye Khanna, Dutt comes up with an extremely likeable performance that is sure to win him plaudits from the viewers.

[4] Derek Elley of Variety stated, "Though its Indo-Pak politics are more Rambo than Romeo, as a barnstorming, jingoistic action movie, Deewaar delivers".
