parade, thus massacring thousands, we never get to know what purpose this will achieve other than the bomber recurrently repeating a silly dialogue, I will not respect anyone who does not respect Islam as if Islam was his sister or mother and this was a matter of family honour, but let’s talk about the execution.
It kicks off with a scene lifted strai out of George Clooney’s SYRIANA where the suicide bombers are recording their last video message, here the protagonist talking in Urdu /Persian is Anurag Sinha, a tall, dark not-so-handsome actor with no acting talent whatsoever, he doesn’t look afghan and that is fine as he is smuggled to Delhi as an Indian Muslim, with a false ID, borrowed from Mr. Naqvi who was burnt alive with the rest of his family in Gujarat riots by the Hindu mobs, this gives Mr.Sinha the excuse to look glum and miserable for the rest of of the movie, as the suicide date draws nearer and he is explained to everyone as the Muslim victim in search of a job in Delhi, while he sketches red fort in black and white in his pocket diary.
The loopholes appear quickly as Indian security gets wind of the conspiracy and start harassing Muslims around CHANDNI CHOWK,

I wish Subhash Ghai had left us with some good memories of his colourful past after the awful YAADEIN and KISNA, but then if all my desires were granted, I would not
be writing this review but rather watching an entertainer like TAAL or KARZ, but I am afraid instead I have to warn you against watching a very implausible movie, which is a shame as it is rather a sincere effort.
The central premise is noble, the reformation of a terrorist is the solution rather than killing the terrorist as that only creates another terrorist, and that is indeed an idea to cherish, as the script goes onto preach that all terrorism is born out of injustice and can only be eliminated by correcting the social milieu that is responsible for that calamity, but cinema is more than a great idea or noble thought, it is about execution and scripting the thought in words and images and Mr.Ghai seems to have forgotten that aspect when conceiving this rather dull but inspiring theme of correcting and reforming an afghan Muslim suicide bomber terrorist, sent by some men from somewhere in Afghanistan to blow up the red fort in Delhi on 15th august during the independence day
