That was an excellent one.

Simply Perfect

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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

Karina is beautiful else the movie is horrible. First of all pseudo secularism instilled by our education, media and politics has sipped so deep in the psyche of our society including film industry that we always bend backwards to be politically correct and kurbaan is one such movie. For all wanton acts of terrorism ,some alibi is found and some justification is found out. Some glaring mistakes 1. Kiron kher claims to get married with Om puri in 2001, they seem pretty old. 2. Most laughable is how vivek oberoi cracks the case on his own making FBI look Pygmy in a typical Hindi movie style. Kareena is wooed so easily by Saif , making one feel Indian girls are easy to get.

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.

There was a bit of good acting scattered throughout and the music was decent, but the plot holes were large enough to drive a bus through, and I found the handling of Muslim characters extremely one-sided. Yes, there were a few moderate voices, but they got very little attention, making this seem pretty much 95% anti-Islamic.The story following the FBI investigators was extremely choppy and that investigation was not believable. Leads such as fingerprints that should have been on the murder weapon in the club, or such as the license plates on the burned car were completely ignored as these supposedly-trained detectives stumbled around in the dark and waited for a reporter to solve all their problems.The idea that a terrorist cell would not do even a cursory investigation of a new member right before an attack is also ridiculous.I was however very impressed by the Hindi spoken by random New York Caucasians in the night classes. Shabash! Maybe mine would have improved faster if I'd attended more lectures on religion.
