Kurbaan

Bollywood writer Renzil D'Silva makes his directing debut with thriller about a terrorist's journey to the US where he plans to commit another attack in New York. A potent story with some riveting moments that looses its impact with the Bollywood treatment. After a weak and typical first act where an Indian-American woman falls in love a Muslim man, they relocate to New York as husband and wife in the second act where she finds out that he has been using her to get legally in the US to join a sleeper cell in order to commit a major attack on New York. Poor writing is a major problem in the majority of Bollywood films where the same formula has become a standard which also plagues this film despite a strong cast. As usual the music is the strongest feature and used properly without the usual dance routine. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
