What happens

Deewaar: Let's Bring Our Heroes Home (transl. The Wall) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Milan Luthria, produced by Gaurang Doshi and written by Luthria, Doshi, S. Gopala Reddy. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt and Amrita Rao. It has no connection to the 1975 film Deewaar, also starring Bachchan, and is inspired by the 1963 film The Great Escape. Deewaar: Let's Bring Our Heroes Home released worldwide on 25 June 2004 and received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances of Bachchan, Khanna and Dutt, but criticism for its length and pacing. Commercially, the film was average. A similar story plot inspired by this movie was used 19 years later in the blockbuster Bollywood movie Gadar 2 (2023). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
