Noyon Jyoti Parasara: Watched #Paltan. At two and half hours, it felt like I was watching it for hours at a stretch.

Abhishek Parihar: #Paltan First Half.
Slow, takes very long to set up, the flashback love stories we're actually not needed to be this long. Badly lacks on essential stars for a film like this like @iamsunnydeol
Not a very bad 1st half though but the fate lies in hands of the second half.

Hetal Satra: #BORDER is an Unforgettable movie of director #JPDutta, The scenes and the sound made the whole movie look like real. Outstanding starcast and their roles... Each and every star gave their best to make this movie EPIC.
Can't wait with the eagerness to watch #PALTAN

Hukum: I have no hopes from #Paltan with 4 heroines , customary song-dance and over the top dialogues.J.P.Dutta screwed up LoC despite unlimited access to @adgpi resources.Any sane director would have churned an oscar winner.
