Yalghaar (Urdu: یلغار; meaning "Assault" or "Attack") previously known as Delta Echo Foxtrot[3] is a Pakistani war-epic film directed by Hassan Rana.[4] The film is produced by MindWorks Media and is based on the true story of Pakistan Army's Swat Operation.[5]

The film "explores what happens in the lives of those involved, including the militants and how all of them are affected at a personal level because of the ongoing operation". It stars Shaan Shahid in the lead role, along with Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui, Armeena Khan, Aleeze Nasser, Ayesha Omer and Sana Bucha.[3] It is the most expensive Pakistani movie to date. Apart from budget[6] and extensive cast, the film features 150 written characters. On 19 December 2014, Hassan Waqas Rana revealed that this film is a tribute to slain children of the 2014 Peshawar school attack.[7]

Plot

Based on a true story, over 76 hours of a successful military operation conducted in the Piochar region of Swat district, Yalghaar goes up close to follow the lives of the young, passionate officers and soldiers whose patriotism is throbbing with every heartbeat for their country (Pakistan).

Cast

Production

The movie went into production after about 3 years of extensive research. Apart from using a vast number of choppers and heavy ammunition, an artificial tunnel was dug in Karachi to replicate one found in North Waziristan.[5]

In preparation of their roles, all actors spent time with their real-life alter egos. Humayun Saeed, who plays the role of a militant, spent days with captured militants in order to prepare for his role.[citation needed]

Duraid Qureshi, the CEO of Hum Network Limited announced at the 4th Hum Awards that the film will be distributed under the banner of Hum Films.

Release

Yalghaar was officially released on June 25, 2017 for the Eid al-Fitr holiday. The film has collected 1.75 crore on day 1, 2.40 crore on day 2 and 2.20 crore on day 3, taking its total collection to 6.35 crore.[9] [10][11][12] Nasar Khan, PR & Publications associate manager at HUM Network, local distributors of Yalghaar, confirmed the numbers. “These numbers are accurate. We are still calculating the third day box office numbers but Yalghaar has had the second biggest opening of 2017, after Fast 8. We are expecting the third day collection to be above 40 million to round it off to 60 million for the three-day total,”.[13]

Critical Response

Rafay Mahmood of The Express Tribune commented while rating just 4.0 out of 5 stars, "this film actually reminded me of the omelette I cook". He further said it deals with wasting "a concept done right has the potential to wake up the sleeping giant that the Eid box-office can be. [14] Momin Ali Munshi of Galaxy Lollywood commented while rating just 3.5 out of 5 stars, "A star-studded hot mess!". He summarised by saying "Director Hassan Waqas Rana definitely had his heart in the right place and wanted the average cinemagoer to know what goes on in an army man's life but a poor development of the idea resulted in a decent end product. It's a 'Waar' sequel you asked for!".[15]
