What do you think? Which title would have been a better choice for Rensil D'Silva's untitled movie under Dharma Productions?
From waht we know, its a thriller based on global terrorism.
We have differnet tidbits.
The terrorists in the movie play nonsteretypical terrorist, meaning engineers, professors, doctors.
One source said that its about a man (saif) who marries a U.S citizen (Kareena) for her visa status to move to the U.S. And there seh finds out her husband's involved in terrorist activities.
Saif claims that he plays a "jehaadi" while vivek plays a moderate muslim.
Not much is known about the movie. Rensil outright denied that it has anything to do with Arlington Road like the media claimed. He said that the reason the media is drawing these similarities is because they want to incite some response from the makers.
So which title would have been better? Jehaad, which was very controvertial and Rensil felt it was sending out the wrong message, or Qurbaan, which perhaps lacks the impact the previous title had?

jehaad does NOT mean that, feazah..!
Jihad is simply the process of "exerting the best efforts," involving some form of "struggle" and "resistance," to achieve a particular goal. In other words, jihad is the struggle against, or resistance to, something for the sake of a goal. The meaning of the word is independent of the nature of the invested efforts or the sought goal.
Contrary to common belief, the word "jihad" does not necessarily imply any violent effort, let alone "war" and such instances of extreme violence. It is a general term that can mean violent as well as peaceful actions, depending on the context in which it is used, as we shall indeed see later. Similarly, "jihad" as a generic word can be used even when the sought goals are not Islamic, i.e. in non-religious contexts.

for more, see below..!

Contrary to the common belief that is embodied in the misinterpretation of "jihad" as "holy war," Islamic jihad does not refer solely to fighting in the way of Allah. This, in fact, is a special case of jihad. The Qur'anic concept of jihad refers to exerting efforts, in the form of struggle against or resistance to something, for the sake of Allah. This effort can be fighting back armed aggression, but can also be resisting evil drives and desires in one's self. Even donating money to the needy is a form of jihad, as it involves struggling against one's selfishness and inner desire to keep one's money for one's own pleasures. Jihad can, therefore, be subdivided into armed jihad and peaceful jihad. Armed jihad, which is the subject of Chapter 4, is only temporary and is a response to armed aggression. Once the aggression has ceased, armed jihad comes to an end. Armed jihad, thus, can take place only when there is an aggressive, external enemy.

it is so unfortunate to see so many people not even knowing the real meaning of jihad... including these sad bunch of loonies who call themselves servants of God and kill people in the name of Islam for their own reasons..!!! 😡

in Islam if u take the meaning from the Quran, it says ["Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors." Qur'an, Chapter 2, verse 190.
