Watch In the Name of God For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

I saw Bol from the same director and gave it a nine. Found that this earlier work was even more highly rated here so had a look. Script content was definitely eye opening giving an insight for me to another religion and culture. However at 3 hours long, it was slow and could have had 30 mins trimmed. The acting was also rather stiff. As a movie enjoyment, it is worth a 5 but i gave it a lower score to balance the bias likely from other voters.As far as religion goes I can not believe how it is acceptable to force a marriage onto someone without consent. I have 2 daughters who I love dearly, who also love me in return. I can never fathom doing anything to them that causes them pain and misery.The best religion is one which teaches you to live life and treat others how you would like to be treated.Cheers.

I Saw this today and was impressed by Shoaib Mansoor, again..............There were a few bits that were a bit overacted, and the editing could have been better in a few places but overall this is an excellent movie and a must watch for people who want to understand the dilemma that the average pakistani finds himself in, specially after 9/11.The music in the movie will move a lot of people. Even if you do not understand the words, you will still be moved. Personally i feel that shoaib should do more movies. He has a rare gift of bridging the cultural divide.

Khuda ke Liye means "in the name of god" deals with the problems Muslim youth facing today and the most important of them is culture clash between generations.beside being a very important movie,to see to understand many situations under which peoples life get affected wrongly,it is a very daring and courageous effort from makers of the movie.the main problem with cinema of India and Pakistan, they don't deal with problem of their own country but this movie does.the story of the movie revolves around a Pakistani Muslim family,two brothers,one living in Pakistan have two sons who want to become famous singers and another one have daughter living in America, i will not tell rest of story as i want you peoples from different countries to see this movie so that you can understand and this movie can give you lots of answers about terrorism and the situations and conflicts that affect the life of innocent peoples,how they are forced to do what they don't want to do,how a innocent man can accused of crimes he did not commit in a country like America.beside being based on such a nice story,the movie is filmed very beautifully and perfectly.i am still wondering how they achieved such level production quality.great acting and direction.a must watch,very important movie to understand what is going on "in the name of god"

This movie has a lot of what you would expect from Shoaib Mansoor and also lacks in ways which are not typical of him. It is true that this movie employs the techniques of cinematography which are, in fact, in accordance with the day and age of its production and acutely divert from abhorrent and despicable status quo of Pakistani cinema.Unlike usual Pakistani movies it does not use cameras from 1960's – a common practice to which many other directors and producers have admitted. It does not have an over-exposed or (as it happens mostly) under-exposed picture of home video camera used by an utter amateur. It has a decent picture with fairly good use of colours and shades to reflect the mood of the scenes and also the movie in general. In short, it is everything that you would expect of any modern movie along with all the flaws and discrepancies that you'd see in any film of international standard.First of all, the overall story lacks the general subtlety and at times may seem overbearing much like a partially ripe mango with occasional streaks of sourness. Many scenes and scenarios lack the depth and detail that you'd expect of a movie of this scale. Hiring foreign actors to do foreign roles was done very professionally, for all these actors were proficient with their performances and their lines were very well written with all the necessary linguistic details.Scenes of FBI interrogation room, arts college and hospital/medical facility cried out for more multi-faceted viewing angles for the audiences. This apparent lack of detail seems to be caused by the budgetary constraints. The location of Mansoor's (Shaan) residence also needed a little bit more light shed on.Iman Ali has done a great effort with some success in acquiring British accent but a trained ear can easily discern the deficiencies. I'd try and use a British born Pakistani actress instead. Rasheed Naz in the role of Moulana Tahiri was a great choice. He has a knack for doing powerful roles.The worst actor, by far, was the one who played Mary's (Iman Ali) father. It will take another paragraph or two to describe even in a nutshell how bad he was. All I'd way is that his acting was hilariously deplorable. By the way, the movie could definitely use more of Ayub Khoso.Using television actors instead of usual suspects of movie acting was a commendable decision. We all very well know that the standard of acting in Pakistani TV industry is extremely high compared to that in so-called Lollywood movies. Shaan, despite being primarily a movie actor, has great performance skills and has given his best herein.I still do not fathom the reasons behind using Naseeruddin Shah. It could be a marketing ploy as he is highly respected and enjoys great admiration in both Pakistan and India.I think some religious points raised here are highly debatable, despite my extreme contempt for Taliban and their interpretation of Islam. A Muslim female marrying a non-Muslim is prohibited in almost all sects of Islam. If Shoaib Mansoor wanted to argue otherwise, he should have given proper references. Just saying, "not prohibited but disliked" is not enough if you want to incite a healthy, scholarly debate. What else this movie was for, if it wasn't to start a debate on Talibanization and the real teachings of Islamic tenets? All in all it is a highly recommended movie and must be watched with open mind. Interestingly, a healthy knowledge of Islam will make it more enjoyable.This kind of cinematic efforts should be encouraged so that we can change the standards of motion pictures and their viewership in Pakistan.
