Kurbaan Hindi Movie Qurbaan | Review

kurbaanKurbaan the new fick starring Bollywood babe Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan is finally here. Here’s the Kurbaan movie review for Bollywood movie buffs. The movie is directed by Rensil D’Silva and shot overseas. Kurbaan proves to be a powerful movie of most Hindi movies released during 2009. The movie gives an insight on the psyche of a terrorist and a person who has spent the life of a helpless spectator.

Rensil has chosen the burning issue of terrorism for his debut film. Although the movie is being compared to Fanna (Amir Khan, Kajol) and NewYork (Neil Nitin Mukesh,John Abraham) but there is no similarity. Kurbaan is one of those movies that are not just meant to entertain but in fact they leave an enlightening impact on the spectators. Having said this movie deserves a double thumb up.

Avantika (Kareena Kapoor) teaches at the university and falls in love with colleague Ehsaan Khan (Saif Ali Khan). The duo marries and shifts to New York City. There Avantika becomes witness to some terrorist operations in her neighbourhood headed by a Muslim fundamentalist (Om Puri). Soon she realizes that she is a pawn to a huge conspiracy. She secretly seeks help from a television reporter Riyaaz (Vivek Oberoi) who attempts to infiltrate the terrorist outfit to foil their big plan.

Kurbaan starts as a love story, swiftly changes identity to a social film and keeps the viewer engaged throughout with its thriller treatment. Sensibly the romance is kept short and succinct without losing out on the chemistry of the characters. Once the terrorist activity comes to forefront, the love story is fittingly given a backseat as the story intends to highlight and discuss serious issues related to global terrorism. And while dealing with dignified social concerns, the film doesn’t compromise on entertainment by adapting a thrilling story-telling technique.

The pacing is brisk with sufficient twist and turns never letting the viewer lose interest. With the theme that the writers have chosen, it’s important that the narrative be clear-cut, coherent and credible. On that note, Rensil D’Silva’s story (co-written with Karan Johar) is well-defined, unambiguous and not convoluted. His approach to screenplay is effective as he enters late in every scene and makes an early exit, penning short and crisp sequences.

Dialogues by Niranjan Iyengar and Anurag Kashyap are not theatrical yet extremely effective in the context that they are used. Notice how they capture the common man’s mindset like when a Muslim father questions “Apne mazhab se wafadari karna fundamentalism kab se ho gaya?” (Since when did being loyal to your religion account to fundamentalism?). At another instance the doubting terrorist head remarks “Yaheen ko hamesha waqt ke peeche chalna chahiye” (Faith should always walk behind time).

Producer of Kurbaan movie is Hiroo Yash Johar and Karan Johar. Apoorva Mehta is Associate Producer of the movie. Cinematographer is Hemant Chaturvedi ISC of Kurbaan 2009. Story has been provided by Karan Johar for the movie. Salim-Sulaiman has given the music for Kurban Hindi film. Vaibhavi Merchant is choreographer of the movie.

Director of the movie, Rensil D’Silva is the professional writer for last 18 years. He has written many documentaries, critiques of films advertising campaigns, short stories for magazines and screenplays for feature films. As per the director, Rensil D’Silva, Kurbaan was the rare thing in his life. In the eyes of director, Kurbaan movie is a part of intense love story and a part of thriller. The movie has suspense, action and political comment.

Kurbaan movie got many criticisms as “Jihad” movie but director denies it. Kurbaan is not a new name in film industry but Kurbaan 1991 movie has been already introduced with Salman Khan and Ayesha Julka for audiences. Now, Kurbaan 2009 has taken a new form and story.
