Firstly, i ADORE the poster work for this film. Like seriously love it.
Anyway, i was a bit apprehensive about the plot of Kurbaan since having seen
New York (John/Neil/Katrina) and hated it.
However, i was wrong. I do have some problems.
First, the 'class debate scene' i think it was shown as too black and white. i am
sure that not every american is as ignorant and stubbornly biased as was portrayed.
Vivek's argument rang true, but the fact that there were non agreeing with him was
irritating.
second, okay the FBI is not that stupid. Seriously.
However, I did LOVE Kareena's performance. She just gets better and better and
i wish she would stick to serious roles like this and Omkara/Asoka as i find
they are where she excels. I really felt for her character.
I have to say that Saif was probably very good as well since i really hated his
character, which must have been intended, and then understood him near the end.
I was annoyed however by his now non-moving forehead. Note to Mr Ali Khan, just because you are now dating a twenty-something doesn't mean you need to start abusing
the botox. Even if your hairline is receding a mile a minute.
Vivek Oberoi was great. I wish he had more film roles. Seriously.
The film itself was intriguingly dark. I wish, when Kirron Kher (play totally against type) revealed saif's past that we could have had a flashback or something.
The scene where saif & co make vivek shoot that fast food guy was nail-biting and
very well acted.
The music was awesome, same for cinematography etc.
All in all, i fully recommend :)
