Go and watch Kurbaan
What can you find in the upcoming film Kurbaan? Is it another instance of Bollywood masala film or can there be something different? Well, if we stick to Rensil D'Silva, it is a mix of many things in a nutshell.
There is the presence of intense romance, it is basically a thriller with some really suspenseful moments, what is more you can have subjects in galore that deal with Islamic terrorism and impact of Islam on the West. Is this a political film then with covert intentions? The question is good but does generate an uncomfortableness or simply uneasiness also. Don’t you know Islamic terrorism is a taboo subject in India? You can know lots of it but can’t discuss or have any discourse. Do you get my point?
Why should I see it then? Is this your next question? You can have the real-life romantic pairing of Saif-Kareena along with the theme of terrorism – worth the value of your ticket at multiplex. Isn’t it? Oh! Yes! This is your answer, I presume. But surely you can have the charm or creations of Rensil D'Silva also, he has got 18 years experience as an ad-man. To boot, scripting films like Aks, Rang De Basanti and Mani Ratnam's upcoming film Raavan, have helped him calm the nerves a bit. He is experienced, hence! Is there any difference between the protagonists of the film? Kareena's is the more author-backed role and the director showers lots of praises as she has performed it resplendently. Saif has a harder role and a western style of performance. Thus there are more silences in his performance. Vivek has the most dramatic role of all and the director thinks after Company and Saathiya this will be his finest performance.
Do you want to know anything more? The film is waiting for you. Go and watch it.
