Kurbaan Movie Review

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) is a University teacher in Delhi who has retuned from US to take care of her Dad who has recently suffered a heart attack. During this time she meets Ehsaan (Saif Ali Khan) another professor and hence their love story begins. Few months down the road Avantika gets a call from her University in Delhi calling her back to work. When she tells Ehsaan he agrees to go with her but wants to get married before they leave.

Soon after their marriage they move to NY to start a new life. They are invited for dinner by their Muslim neighbors one day and that’s when the real story begins. Kurbaan is a love story between Saif and Kareena and the story of Islamic terrorists. There are some intimate scenes between the love birds as much touted about on the media. The high point of the movie is its thirty five minute climax. To sum up the Kurbaan movie review I’ll just say its one for the watcher.

LOVE AAJ
London, San Francisco, Delhi - 2009.
Jai and Meera are a modern-day couple in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. So when life pulls them in different directions, they decide to go with the flow. "These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka saath type couples exist only in story books," Jai says. In the real life, we have to be practical.

LOVE KAL
Delhi, Calcutta - 1965.
Veer Singh is struck by a thunderbolt when he sees Harleen for the first time. Soon after, he stands under a tree and swears that "is janam mein aur har janam mein... yehi meri votti banegi - Harleen Kaur." He travels a thousand kilometers by train to stand under her balcony only to have a glimpse of her face. And yet not speak a word with her.

Love Aaj Kal
Veer does not understand how Jai can treat matters of the heart without passion, like a financial transaction. Jai does not understand how Veer Singh could have been so naïve and silly about Harleen in the days of his youth. But as both stories unfold, we realize that the process of relationship might be different in different eras, but the experience of being in love remains the same. So there is the frolic and despair of modern living, the liberation and confusion. And there is the past - the times of innocence and compulsion. And there is distance, and the fondness that increases with distance. Gaps widen between two people, but bridges keep growing too.

‘Love Aaj Kal’ marks the birth of production house Illuminati Films, owned by Saif Ali Khan and partner Dinesh Vijan. Sunil Lilla is the co-producer.

The movie also stars Rishi Kapoor , Neetu Singh and Rahul Khanna in significant roles. There’s also a cameo by a British model named Florence.

‘Love Aaj Kal’ has music by Pritam and lyrics by Irshad Kamil.

The film is set to release on July 31.
