Our Two Cents: I initially had my reservations about the project when I first heard of its existence but from the look of the trailers it seems to have turned out quite well. I hope they don’t get carried away by the love story while also ensuring they don’t caricaturise the military. Anyone remembers ‘Beyond Rangoon’?   

How eager am I to watch it? Actually looking forward to this one.
