KURBAAN - Movie Review

Kurbaan is based on the same plot of 9/11 which has already shown in the movies like New York and Fanaa.
Kurbaan starts as a love story which swiftly changes its identity to a social film but it appreciably manage the viewers engaged throughout with its thriller treatment. Sensibly the romance is kept short to represent the main motive of the movies and that is Global Terrorism. Once the terrorist activity comes to forefront, the love story is fittingly given a backseat as the story intends to highlight and discuss serious issues related to terrorism. And while dealing with dignified social concerns, Kurbaan doesn't compromise on entertainment by adapting a thrilling story telling technique.
Avantika(Kareena Kapoor) teaches at the university in India and falls in love with Ehsaan Khan( Saif Ali Khan). Finally they marries and shifts to New York City. There Avantika witness some terrorist operations in her neighbourhood headed by a Muslim fundamentalist(Om Puri). She realizes that Ehsaan has used her for huge conspiracy. She secretly seeks help from a television reporter Riyaaz(Vivek Oberoi) who wants to take the revenge of his wife's death, who died in an Aeroplane Bomb Blast by infiltrating the terrorist outfit to foil theri big plan.

 Saif Ali Khan has done a wonderful job and oozes confidence in his act.He once again proves that he is indeed a versatile actor in bollywood. 

 

After long time Kareena Kapoor gets a role which has given her a chance to prove her potential. The chemistry between Kareena and Saif is sizzling.

Vivek Oberoi is fabulous in his part and commands immense screen presence. He adopted the requisite English ascent though he could have gone easy on his expressions at times.He has acted brilliantly in the film and this movie could prove to be the turning point in his career.

Om Puri is as good at his job as always. He is authoritative though his character is just an extension of what he played in Shoot on sight. 

Kirron Kher plays the role of an Afghani woman with a Pathani accent, she is competent though it is difficult to relate her in such characters which is much different from her typecast image. 

Kurbaan is a must watch movie.
