better than the khawaja number from JODHAA AKBAR, anyway the romance prospers with the professor adopting the bomber as an adopted brother, while the afghan wants to use the Hindu as a launch pad for getting into redfort.
     There is no logic by now at all in the script, as the afghan psychopath goes around indiscriminately massacring his Muslim accomplices, accusing them of not respecting Islam, and as he is overheard conspiring by the old man Ghafoor who is the man who has harboured him in his house and a dreamer who seeks secular harmony, Mr Ghafoor dies the next day of a heart attack, by now half the Muslims in Delhi seem to know about the conspiracy, which is a top secret, except the Hindu professor and his wife who get a pass from the police for the bomber to get into the VIP enclosure in red fort.
