Deserves 1.5 stars for photography and music. Storyline is exactly like NewYork. Acting is average at best. The reason for the sex scene was absolutely ridiculous.

Point to ponder: Newyork story credit was taken by Aditya Chopra, and Kurbaan story credit is taken by Karan Johar. Wonder who stole the whos idea??

I also understand that the comment on the film and the author’s opinion is intended to translate to the reader via the sarcastic tone, but the approach is dated and amateurish.

As a reader, I would prefer a review of the film which clearly expresses an opinion, and is not just filling up space narrating the plot. It’s neither fair to the reader, nor the filmmaker. If detailing plot points is imperative to the commentary of the critic, then what we need is some sort of an analysis to go with each plot point, and such an endeavour really should be reserved for a later time, after people have had a chance to view the film.

It’s helpful for the reader as plot points are not revealed in advance and can be interpreted during the movie, and its helpful for the critic as well, whose writing will make more sense to the reader after having had a chance to see the film.

I feel this trend of dealing with terrorism in mainstream cinema is started by Mani Ratnam Sir with Roja / Dil Se. Even Mani Sir faltered. There is no point in having outstanding music / performances when the movie lacks soul.

Only Gulzar saab did justice to this subject with Maachis and Black Friday too was honest. Although it was one sided but it was honest one sided view.

I am no fan of Khalid Saab but I think the point he is trying to make is no point in taking some serious topic when you can’t deal with it or give due importance to it.

There is no reason to be upset to show every terrorist is muslim but while doing so if it is done with sincerity and really points at the flawed thinking of fundamentalists then it will do a great service to muslims in identifying their own flaws.

Its full of style and attitude. The jazz parts are superb, especially the jazzy piano and bass guitar interlude in Gumm Summ Gumm.

The most amazing part for me is that Ilayaraja can come up with stuff like this even at the age of 66.

btw, nice review !! To my surprise most reviewers rated “Hichki Hichki” very low, so it was nice to read your positive review :)

Arey, film mein plot nahi hai-toh kapde kyon ho? :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
Think about it> Wouldn’t the passionate filmgoer feel More cheated if there was no story + No skin display?
