Trivia:
This film portrays a fictionalized account of the actions of 3 Punjab. As the film does show, 3 Punjab was based in Kargil and was among the first of the units to detect the Pakistani intrusion across the Line of Control. However, they did not actually capture "Peak 5179" or any other peak. In actuality, much of the on-screen unit's actions are inspired by various other battalions' actions during the conflict. As the film credits the story as fiction based on fact and is largely truthful to the overall situation, the Army officially endorsed and approved the film. more
Quotes:
Col. Sunil Damle: [referencing to dead Pakistani soldiers] Sahab Dharamvir Singh, gather some of your men. These men should be buried with total respect.
Subedar Dharamvir Singh: Yes sir.
Col. Sunil Damle: [everyone remains silent] What's the matter? Pradeep?
Pradeep: No sir, I guess the thing is everyone just remembered the way these people returned the bodies of our soldiers.
Col. Sunil Damle: I see, I see. There is a difference between us and them and this difference should remain. Think what kind of army is that which refuses to accept the bodies of their officers, their soldiers. Shall we become the same? This is Indian Army. We maintain decency even in enmity. Sahab Dharamvir Singh, bury these men with due respect.

Lakshya!!What a movie, 12 January 2005
10/10
Author: vicramb from Hell

I'm the kind of guy who enjoys mindless action movies as well as movies that are intelligent,sensitive&thought-provoking.Lakshya falls in the latter category. The promos were slick and the music sounded good.But when i read the box-office report on this movie i was surprised at the lukewarm response this movie got because i thought this movie would be a runaway hit.However what can people like us do when such gifted film-makers like Farhan Akhtar are discouraged because their movies don't spoon-feed facts to the audience.But all said and done,This is among my personal favourites and i'm giving it a 10/10.2004 has produced some mature and intelligent movies like Lakshya,Yuva,Hum Tum,Swades etc and i'm happy that film-makers are growing up.This movie inspired me a lot and has played a role in me realising the truth that we should always have an aim in life because a life without an aim is like a body minus the soul.

+ points-Acting,Music(Background),Sound,Story,Tight Screenplay,Inspiring,Photography,Cinematography(nicely shot) -points-Length,Slow Pace,2nd half songs.
