He is accompanied by a tailor, Char Chinar, who sells uniforms to both militants and the military soldiers.

==Critical reception==
''Lamhaa'' received mixed reviews from critics.

Sukanya Verma of [[Rediff]] rated it 3/5 and said, "Utimately, Lamhaa's relevance lies in its ability to give you an overview, even if it's a crammed one, about the ugliness of greed and intolerance through the example of Kashmir."<ref>{{cite web|last=Verma|first=Sukanya|title=Lamhaa: One of the Best Kashmir films so far|url=http://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jul/16/lamhaa-review.htm|publisher=Rediff|accessdate=16 July 2010}}</ref> Noyon Jyoti Parasara of AOL rated it 3.5/5 and stated, "Very truly it does delve right into the primary problem. But this time, unlike most other movies made on the same subject, it does not stay on a superficial level."<ref>{{cite web|last=Parasara|first=Noyon Jyoti|title=Lamhaa – Movie Review|url=http://www.aol.in/bollywood-story/lamhaa-movie-review/989946|publisher=AOL India|accessdate=16 July 2010}}</ref> [[Nikhat Kazmi]] of ''[[Times of India]]'' rated it 3.5/5 saying, "Lamhaa is a no-holds-barred look at the multi-layered turmoil in Kashmir, with so many real-life references that you end up with just one conclusion: now here's a real film about a real problem."<ref>{{cite news|last=Kazmi|first=Nikhat|title=Lamhaa: Movie Review|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Lamhaa/moviereview/6172410.cms|newspaper=Times of India|accessdate=16 July 2010|date=15 July 2010}}</ref>

Mayank Shekhar of the [[Hindustan Times]] rated it 2/5 and said, "It's not easy to make sense of Kashmir. It's harder still then to make sense of this film."<ref>{{cite news|last=Shekhar|first=Mayank|title=Review: ''Lamhaa''|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/cinema-news/reviews/All-atmospherics-and-scattered-moments/Article1-572802.aspx|newspaper=Hindustan Times|accessdate=16 July 2010}}</ref>

==Controversy==
''Lamhaa'' was banned in [[Pakistan]] and all GCC countries like [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Bahrain]], [[Kuwait]], [[Qatar]], [[UAE]] and [[Oman]]. UAE National Media Council Censorship Board felt that the content of the movie is highly objectionable and controversial.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lamhaa banned in UAE for objectionable content|url=http://www.filmyfair.com/bollywood-news/lamhaa-banned-in-uae-for-objectionable-content/|publisher=FilmyFair|accessdate=15 July 2010}}</ref>

Earlier, the film's screening was cancelled in Kashmir<ref>{{cite news|title=Lamhaa's Srinagar premiere cancelled|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/mirchmasala/Lamhaa-s-Srinagar-premiere-cancelled/Article1-568729.aspx|newspaper=Hindustan Times|accessdate=7 July 2010}}</ref> amid the tense atmosphere.<ref>{{cite news|title=Protests in Kashmir as Lamhaa gears up for release|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/dresscircle/Protests-in-Kashmir-as-Lamhaa-gears-up-for-release/Article1-565829.aspx|newspaper=Hindustan Times|accessdate=1 July 2010}}</ref> The producer didn't want to be insensitive to the sentiments of the Kashmiri people. The producer, Walia commented, "There are no scenes that they want me to remove from the film. They have outrightly refused to screen Lamhaa. [...] This news has really dampened my spirits. The Middle East is a huge market for Bollywood movies these days and we could suffer a huge setback because of this ban. There is definitely a lot of money at stake that could have been recovered from that region, but more than that I am sad that the audience there can't see a film like 'Lamhaa'."<ref>{{cite web|title='Lamhaa' banned in Middle East: Bunty Walia|url=http://entertainment.in.msn.com/bollywood/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4159402|publisher=MSN|accessdate=18 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100716213045/http://entertainment.in.msn.com/bollywood/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4159402|archive-date=16 July 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Indian censor board passed the movie with an A certificate after two edits were made.<ref>{{cite news|title=Bipasha Basu's film banned in Middle East|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/cinema/Bipasha-Basu-s-film-banned-in-Middle-East/Article1-572536.aspx|newspaper=Hindustan Times|accessdate=15 July 2010|author=Roshmila Bhattacharya}}</ref>
