Its all about what South Asians in the US went through after 9/11. It showed how they were detained, tortured for months just in the name of 'War against Terrorism'. Hundreds of innocents had to face such a shameful behaviour by the FBI all in the name of this 'Patriot Act'.
It portrays how an innocent man was detained, tortured for almost 9 months and then let free stating 'lack of evidence'. He had lost his everything - his happy-go-lucky nature, his confidence, his persona, and above all his self-respect - in this period of detention. And to regain his self-respect and to take revenge from the FBI, he then turns into a terrorist. He hides this side of him from his family till the very end. Its about how the FBI uses a terror suspect's best friend (who hasn't met him since 7 years) as an undercover agent.
Although not at par with 'Khuda Kay Liye', a Pakistani film based on the same issue, it is a nice film based on a sensitive issue, directed well by Kabir Khan. His direction has always been fantastic. I liked his earlier film 'Kabul Express' too.
All in all, its a great movie with some great acting, superb direction and really good music. I'd recommend it to be watched in a cinema theatre. Good going Kabir !!! Hats off to you....
yeah it was a great movie...sumthng reali diff...

ReplyDeleteThanks man.... I was spellbound by the music.... esp, hai junoon n tu ne jo na kaha..... N btw its irrfan khan n nt imran khan.....
even i saw dis flick yesterday. liked it. evn it was based on an emotional issue n it had sum very good acting, it failed to emotionally touch my soul as khuda ke liye did. but honest attempt by kabeer khan. music was nice. overall 3 stars out of 5
ReplyDelete@ trishala -
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment..... although not at par with 'khuda kay liye', but 'new york' is a film that portrays what actually happened post-9/11... and i think comparing two things isn't a correct thing.... KKL n NY are based on similar issues, still they are way apart....
i am looking for a website where i can watch hindi movies including new releases like movieforumz did. but now it shut down. so PLZ tell me a related one where u can watch hindi movies including new releases THX
