This is not a usual ‘Oh-what-a-lovely flick’ post. This movie has been the worst movie seeing experience I’ve had in a long time. I am really glad that I didn’t watch it in the theatres when it came out last year. Somehow the name Karan Johar associated with any movie is a big turn-off factor for me, although Wake Up Sid was an exception.
I’ve been listening to Kurbaan songs a lot of late. ‘Dua hai’ and ‘Kurbaan hua’ are both very passionate and likeable tracks. I’ve started to appreciate the actor in Saif after seeing LoveAajKal. Vivek Oberoi, I think has always been underappreciated. So I finally decided to watch this movie, even though I am no fan of Kareena. But it turned out to be a horrible torture. I just wonder why didn’t I turn off my system, may be expecting that something would happen eventually in the movie.
Saif, dude, even though you had a substantial role, I was still reminded of the Saif of 90s, who was always a nuisance. You’ve got to stay away from such flicks. Vivek Oberoi, even though I like you, I’ve got to say …….only God, sorry Allah can save your movie career. Om Puri, you were average. And I feel like throttling Kiran Kher for that fake Afghani accent.
It was an overall failure. Script didn’t have much to offer. Dialogues were ordinary. There was not a moment where I could feel the intensity. Hell the word ‘Kurbaan’ itself should create those emotions and passions, but the execution and the final product were rather shallow. So many delicate issues were dealt with immaturity. And to top it all, it was 150 minutes.
I think the movie’s fate on the Box-Office was well deserved. It had to be a flop. It is only justified to see that even big names attached to the production can’t make the movie work all the time if the movie itself sucks.
