If a film has jarring loopholes like this one then its hard for me to like it. You don't need to look for loopholes - pretty much everyone who walked out of the theatre I was at (which was mostly empty) was saying "Haven't they ever heard of calling the police?" If I don't like a movie - I criticise it. Simple as that. I watched the movie and I didn't enjoy it.

Why compare it with New York? Because maybe the premise is nearly identical. Its bound to come up.

Performances wise, Kareena was only good in the second half in some of her scenes. First half was too over the top and she overacted for most part. she alwayz does ...wats new 😆

Saif was below average to average. Not once you see his pain. Even John (who is considered wooden) was better. i wont agree to tht ,,,,,no one can beat john in his non acting 😆 ..saif was better according to me

Vivek is good in some scenes and in the others, he overacted especially the ones where he talks in English. Honestly, it would have been better if he had no accent. It was overdone, and overdone usually translates to overkill. tht was sumthing i wanted to mention but i think it slipped out of my mind!! his wanna be accent was disastrous 😆...specially when in the first meet he says "domestic violence" in sum ajeebo garib accent!! it completly cracked me up

🤣

Comparisons are obvious and will be made always. Critics, well, I have to say are easily pleased with anything that is remotely 'different'. I have never trusted the critics and I don't think I ever will in future.

detto ......critics toh even liked tht crap love aajkal ......which was a blunder according to me 😆😆 i had to take a dispirin after cuming back

This reminds me, wasn't the tagline that it is supposed to be a love story in a terrorism background. Where was the love story? thii naaa ....havent u seen their unecessary chipka chipki.......wat an intimate love story .........😆😆😆

All in all, it's a blah movie. i agreee

hmmm.....i kinda of liked the movie....it was ok...... but yes the second part was boring and very predictable......another loophole was the intimate scene of saif and kareena......i mean that scene had no importance in movie....it looked as if it was forced in to the movie.....if they had this scene immediately after their marriage it would have still be understood but just to get info of saif 's plan kareena has sex with him...please what's the logic behind it and they over publicized the scene so much that the it created an impression in audience mind that the movie is not for family viewing......and last but not the least Kurbaan was the most abruptly ended movie i have ever seen...atleast they should have given a proper ending to the movie.........

Well you think the movie didn't cover the topic of Terrorism? I actually meant to say why the comparison with New York? These two are completely different movies.

"KURBAAN - "RIP"

"Nov 20/2008 to Nov 26/2008"

What kind of ppl do u think liked Kurbaan? Bcoz quite a number of critics and mango ppl put up good reviews. Wonder what they saw in the movie.! Bcoz to me I said it before, if you have seen NY then you have seen Kurbaan.

After watching this movie I now believe that the production houses pay critics to write good reviews.
This had almost 99% great reviews - not even good from the critics. If they just liked the acting they could have just said that. They praised the movie so high and built up such high expectations it is ridiculous. Even that much touted "scene" between Saif and Kareena which was deemed so important to the story line was pathetic - they could have easily done away with it.
What is so path breaking about this movie ? I failed to see it.
IMO if they had promoted it as just another Bollywood movie it would have worked much better.

kurbaan was like a good time pass movie but dats it. the performances were all good...i think kirron kher was the best. but yeah i was nothing gr8.

^There are only 2 reviewers I trust now - Baradwaj Rangan and Anupama Chopra - the only ones who criticised this film. But I never believe Taran Adarsh, Omar Qureshi and TOI and most other critics. Taran Adarsh especially seems like someone who gives out reviews based on how much cash he got in return. He gave Blue 4 stars. There really is no logic in his reviews.

@qwww:-- Exactly. I wrote all those points in my review as well. Specially that if its get 3, maybe for the performances but if 4/4.5 then def. Karan paid these critics. I love my review on Kurbaan LOL! Has to be my best on a film and I wrote it that long maybe cause I had some expectations from the movie but it went down the drains as the movie progressed.
