Cult film.
[contains spoilers]

Farhan Akhtar has become widely known name in Bollywood because of the coming of age themes of his films. The story of Lakshya might be a stereotypical story from failure to success for some,but the unversal nature of the story ,the quotient of relatablility has made the film a cult one. A young boy,Karan Shergill(Hritik) unsure about his life applies for Military Training in IMA,just because his friend applies for it. While his backs out even after being selected, Karan,unaware about life in the academy continues with the process and finds it extremely challenging. Life has never been easy for Karan with a demanding father, a successful brother and an ambitious girlfriend,Romi(Preity). His world comes crashing down when he flees from IMA. How he takes a decision to return to IMA and proves his capability to his family and Romi, is what the story is about.

The period of struggle in youth,the choice of carreer,the daunting spirit of sticking to a decision,the task of proving oneself to the world-all the tough circumstances that the twenties put us through,'Lakshya' presents those through the story of Karan. The heart-rending performance of Hrithik is what makes the movie shine. The strong supporting cast with a bevy of famous faces from bollywood is also a laudable aspect of the film.Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music,ranging from slow romantic hums to loud inspiring beats does a lot to build up the mood of the film.
