Hey there... most times when we watch movie and the movie suks, u type ya blog so fast that ya fucking finger aches...and sometimes we do see good movies then we give good reviews with equal ease... but wat about those movies ya know, which ya are not able to categories as good or bad... writing reviews for such movies is difficult and uninteresting and brain fucking... Kurbaan belongs to this genre... phew...
Kurbaan is just another movie on global terrorism... We have Aysaan Khan (Saif Ali Khan) who woos his collegue Avantika (Kareena kapoor) and both travel to US... Lets not get to the background story for their travel...Its not that interesting... the routine Saif Ali Khan running behind girl stuff...So where were we???... mmmmm yep they go to the US... They move into an Indian Neighbourhood in the Suburb NewYork... Now Avantika makes a shocking discovery about her hubby and his true intentions, an attack on the US... n we have Riaz Masood (Vivek Oberoi) who after loosing his girl friend on a bomb attack just minutes after proposing her (Yawn... not again... why this gotto happen always... fed up with this same damn boring old sentiment shit)...trying to get into the bottom of this case... He even infiltrates into Saif's gang n with the help of avantika and FBI foils the attack....
If you feel nostalgic about this story ya betta be, coz this is exactly the story of 'New York'... The only problem is unlike New York, Kurbaan doesn't make an impact... The movie is scripted in such a way that it just revolves around the central theme 'Terrorism, plight of muslims' and the team has taken no effort to hit the target... this is wat NewYork did bang on target... The movie doesn't get serious at any point of the fucking 2 and half hours of its run...
Saif, Kareena, Vivek, om puri have done their jobs quite well... but could n't say the same for seasoned (artificially flavoured, coloured watever) actress Kiron Kher doing the Cruela de Vil of Kurbaan... I found her accent weird... I may be wrong here... just ma opinion... n the guy who played the FBI agent... phew...he is a complete jack ass material... I dunno why English guys act so pathetically in Indian movies... How are they selected? Are they street picked?
Kurbaan has its moments... be it the scene where Vivek confronts white students during their discussion on Islam.... or the scene in which Saif and his co get stopped by the NYPD when they are on a trail to dispose a body.... the movie scores... however boo-boo's are so ubiquotous like mosquitoes, meaning the flaws are too many... The reason given for taking Vivek onboard to Saif's mission...not satisfying... poor art work in some of the vital scenes esp the bomb blast in the railway station...In the scene where they show the half burnt face of lekha washington, they show the right side of her face as pretty intact...the logic is missing coz in ma opinion right side should have been burnt completely than the left side as it was in the direct contact of fire....
Now should one watch this movie or not... first of all its not a timepass movie coz it deals with a serious issue.... Lemme point out again, that don't expect to see a NewYork coz its not even half good... Smooches and steamy scenes are there in aplenty between Saif and Kareena but that should be pretty soon available on youtube... As other reviews claim the movie is not thrilling or rivetting too.... Watchable in (not Kareena's) parts... So I don't find a reason why one should n't give this movie a miss... I would leave it to ya guys to decide.....
Wattage : 45 Watts... Just pass rascala.....
