chaotically unfunny, inadvertent comedy, yes it is better than KISNA and JODHAA AKBAR, but it is neither well made nor entertaining. If only Ghai had reviewed his script, if he ever wrote one in the first place, this had a chance of becoming a decent movie as the story was sound, but between a wooden lead actor and actress who are the worst newcomers ever given by Ghai and a badly flawed script which is rehashed from SYRIANA and DIL SE, you have a terribly haphazard mish-mash, some awful songs and a thoroughly overacted stereotyped role by Anil Kapoor as professor Arjun.
I am afraid this is not going to help Anil Kapoor resurrect his career as it has neither anything intelligent or new to say about terrorism or any entertainment value and as for Ghai, he needs to retire gracefully now as this is his third turkey in a row.
If you still want to watch it, there is some eye catching cinematography of Delhi and some good Urdu jokes between old man Ghafoor and his wife in the first half, and the background music is well scored, but apart from that I can’t find anything to recommend it, except that it doesn’t make any sense like most movies these days.
Black and White
professor and his wife, the sheer folly of misdirection where he escapes from the fort with the whole Indian army in pursuit is hilariously bad and embarrassing, but that is not all as you have
a really funny terrorist attack on a Qawali function in Kutub minar which is staged by the Muslims, so bomber can save the profs child and charms his wife, that seems to be forgotten and ignored as if it’s a daily routine in Delhi, the director and script writer just about do anything they will, the terrorists are watching terrorists are watching the blowing up ceremony in red fort on their laptops through signals coming from the pen ,this is sheer lunacy and will give a real bad name to Indian cinema, but I don’t think it will be seen by even a lot of Indians.
This is a real lame horse with no bridle or saddle, the terrorists look like clowns, the cops look like villains calling Muslim youth as filthy insects, while everyone but Ghafoor and professor are villains, this is truly black and white rather than grey, as a good idea is given the worst treatment ever by Ghai in a terror oriented movie by Bollywood.
I will suggest you watch DILSE, MAACHIS or HU TU TU, rather than go near this
