Awesome Movie
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
If there's a 0 star rating I would have rated this movie so.The story is very weak, boring, and superficial, specially looking at the "love story" between Avantika and Ehsaan. It is unbelievable.The most annoying part of the movie is how they portray Islam and the Islamic Religion and how they portray Jihad! Renzil D'Silva should get an education about real Islam before disgracing it with this amateur movie. I, as a Muslim, is furiously mad at this piece of junk.It's very misleading and should be banned. As simple as this.The story doesn't even convey a message, if you know nothing about Jihad and Islam you will end up totally confused, not knowing if Islam is Ehsaan's way or Ryiaz's! And in the scene Ehsaan talks about the real Islam, about mercy and compassion, it apposes everything Ehsaan and his group believes it! In his lecture he preaches the real teaching of Islam, and in real life, he does the exact contrary! I advise everyone not to watch it
Even though the start of the movie is interesting, it falls flat on its face after the 1st quarter. Very illogical movie, as if the audience is dumb.Why doesn't Kareena never dials 911 to call police after seeing Salma's dead body? How stupid it is to call Diya Mirza instead of altering authorities of the plain bomb. - Why does Vivek decides to take matters in his own hands?It could have been a much better movie, if Vivek worked with FBI and acted as a mole. That would make it a much more logical thriller. No wonder, it fell flat on the box office. I just can't understand why Indian story writer and director feel it is OK to make illogical movies like this? Here is my message to them: FU losers, We are NOT stupid. Do not make illogical movies.Glad, I watched it only on netflix streaming and thus did not waste my hard earned money on this piece of illogical crap.
Heavily influenced by Hollywood, there are a growing number of non-traditional Bollywood movies that eschew song and dance sequences and employ sync-sound rather than dubbing all dialogue. KURBAAN (aka Sacrificed, 2009) is one, particularly good example of this kind of new Bollywood film. Like so many Hindi films this does use a Hollywood film as a touchstone, but thankfully the source here (1999's ARLINGTON ROAD) is only alluded to in a couple of the plot points and beyond these the story moves in new, interesting directions that make this an interesting companion piece. Gripping for its two and a half hour running time, Renzil D'Silva's movie shares a few things in common with Kabir Khan's NEW YORK but superior thanks to it's consistent tone and credible characters and performances. Om Puri is particularly good in an extremely understated performance.
The cover of the movie made me believe this movie could be the thriller of the year. I did not expect it would be a terrorist movie. Although the subject is daring, the movie was very slow. Cast was great, except Vivek Oberoi (great actor though). The biggest twist of the movie, that Saif was a terrorist also, came in the beginning. The rest of the movie wasn't worth watching.It is very clear that in most terrorist movies the Muslim culture is involved. It would be better if that would be taken care of, instead of making movies about it. But making a movie about it, makes people think about it as a subject that leads to discussion. In that fact the movie is very successful.On the other hand the terrorists are shown as monsters. It's like an overblown Nazi-movie where Hitler is a monster. Let not forget, even though terrorists or people who take other people's lives are crazy by putting their action in the hands of religion, they still are people. In that matter Saif Ali Khan gave us a great performance and the other men of the terrorist group gave me a cheap shiver.There is one thing I did not understand in the scene where Kareena Kapoor took the bullet out of Saif's chest; Why did Saif scream a moment later when the bullet was already taken out of his chest and not when Kareena was taking the bullet out?
