I never said that Aamir and Kajol were subtle.

You are right you didn't. My bad there. I still didn't like their acting in the film though.

I think SRK's character in MNIK has Asperger's Syndrome, not Autism.

Why would dharma copy Fanaa?

That's what I'm thinking.

Woudl they really seriously just copy teh plot so blatantly?

I mean its one thing that bollywood copies hollywood or movies from the South, but it just doenst make sense that kurbaan woudl be a copy of popular recent movie liek Fanaa.

I think the synopsis is CLOSE, but I think tehre's more to this movie than just this.

Aamir khan is the only guy doing his job in bolly.. which is "acting" everyone else..is doing everything else but acting.. opening tea shops, buying teams, being philadering bums, pretending to date co-stars.... That is why audiences always support him.. even when he does experimental stuff people support him.. cuaz people are not blind.. they know what is real and what is crap. And I love the fact that Aamir doesnt even give a shiz about these so called awards.. which are just rewards for attending these lame events.. He just cares about the audiences while others waste their time.. in claiming awards.. Its a joke how sometimes biggest flops and most underserving people end up winning these awards.. dont know what do they do with this rutic iron trophies when they have debt piling up in their houses due to all the flops.

Yayyy!

So rensil responded, and he's nto too bothered with the spoilers.

He just said that those articles dont even know half of Kurbaan, so I'm happy! He said he knows what movie he's made and has faith in it the story, screenplay, and execution. And...then he told me to relax, lol.

And come on, of all movies to copy, why in the world would Dharma and Rensil try adn rip off FANAA? That's the last movie ANYONE shoudl ever attempt to remake, lol.

From Rensil's Interview!

What's the film about?

Well, it is a cross genre ... it is a love story, it's a thriller and it has political comment on global terrorism and the identity of Muslims in the modern world. It is a comment on Islam - the liberal and the conservative elements of Islam. I think there was enough meat for it to absorb me completely and also to my mind it should cross borders, it shouldn't just only be an Indian film. I think it is a film that can make its way through the global market.

Why the title Kurbaan?

Kurbaan means sacrifice, and the context of that sacrifice will be apparent to the audience when the plot unfolds.

Ahhh, so not going to give anything way then. (laughs)

(Laughs)

Do you have a favorite scene?

The script reaches a point were there is a debate in a classroom between the moderate voices of Islam and some pretty radical voices from the West. Where issues like 9-11 and Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq are seen in a very heated debate where hopefully I have put forward the points. It sees it through the prism of the US using the first invasion of Iraq, with Bush Senior, as a means to further their arms deal and the inclusion of the CIA into what is now the Mujahideen, right from the time of the Soviet invasion. The CIA's intervention to create the Mujahideen, and now the Mujahideen striking back at the US and their interests; a lot of issues I think that might not have been dealt with in previous mainstream Hindi Cinema - I hope to at least address some of it. I don't think it would be totally good to say I have resolved it or anything, but at least I have nudged the mind of the viewer more into that direction.
