Like he cares... abt terror and Muslims and ppl losing lives, all he wants is movie to do well and be a hit. gross 🤢 🤢 🤢

i will be watching kurbaan for saif and only saif because i love him as an actor!

What kind of a f***ing statement is that?

*raises hand* ME!!!

or rather..I will wait for ur reaction to decide if the comedy caper was worth my time

yeaa im probably just not going to watch it. period 😊

ha ha comical purpose😆

I agree - there have actually been good movies on the subject of terrorism so far. Mumbai Meri Jaan, Black Friday, Dil Se and to a certain extent A Wednesday deal with that theme. They tackle the subject in different ways but are all well made films.

I have also seen Khuda Kay Liya which is a Pakistani film and I think it is one of the most interesting and well made films on this subject (not just from Pakistan or the sub-continent but a good film period). I would say the same for Black Friday which tells the story of the 1993 blasts so dispassionately yet it is a gripping narrative and presents all facets to the story. Of course Black Friday was focused on one particular event and real people being brought to screen so it could avoid certain problems that came with characterisation in New York.

I don't want Bollywood to stick to candyfloss romances and I think there are directors who can handle different subjects and make films that are just as good as anywhere else in the world. But these films need patrons and people need to go out and see them for these directors to be successful and continue making interesting films.

Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Dev D, Luck By Chance, Mumbai Meri Jaan, Mithya, Dasvidanya, Manorama Six Feet Under, Kaminey, A Wednesday, Welcome To Sajjanpur, Ek Chaalis ki Last Local have all come out in the last couple or years or so and I think they are all well made films that tackle different genres, themes, narrative structures and certainly are not candy floss films.

I too have apprehensions about Kurbaan because it comes from the Dharma stable. But its unfair to say that no one in Hindi films has attempted and succeeded in doing something different. There are plenty of other examples that I can't recall right now.
