kudos to Mr Ghai for making this movie...wonderful concept.....end terrorism not terrorists...
very well directed...editing is crisp...acting is superb by all actors be it anil kapoor as a peace loving professor mathur...shefali shah as roma his outspoken bengali wife...or debutante anurag sinha as afghani terrorist numair kazi....
inspite of this being his first movie he has acted this difficult character very well....his character had to be strong jehadi intelligent silent terrorist...hardly had any dialogues but conveyed everything thru his expressions and body language
well the concept of movie...
it revolves around this guy who is from afghanistan...who has become a terrorist after his family died in the bomb blasts....he has come to india with a mission as suicide bomber and is supposed to blow up red fort on 15th aug.....
when he arrives in india he lives with a muslim family who r getting money from the terrorist groups.....as he stays in india he sees how other people r..how politicians for their own gain provoke people in the name of religion....how some people (like anil kapoor's character) maintain communal harmony...and see everyone equally and dont discriminate people on the basis of religion....seeing all this there is inner turmoil within him as to what is right and what is wrong...
still the junoon of being a terrorist is there and the thing that all non muslims are kafirs and have no right to survive in so well into his head that he does not abandon the mission easily....
also the fact that he sees himself as devout muslim and believes he is doing what is written in koran and will please allah is there...so wen a fellow muslim terrorist says he has had alcohol he kills him too...as his dialouge goes जो इस्लाम की इज्ज़त नही करता मैं उसकी इज्ज़त नही करता
there are a quite a few similar occasions..so he basically is a nice guy.....just circumstances and the environment have made him what he is....
and when he comes in contact with anil kapoor (which he hates initially as he is taking favour from a hindu person).....he starts seeing things differently....also what triggers him at last is the fact that roma who takes him as a brother is murdered by one of his fellow terrorists....
so at last in the end at the last moment he does not blow up the bomb.....the police try to kill him but he escapes as professor mathur stops the policeman from shooting...
so numair returns to his home alive a different individual....understands that he wud have gone against allah had he blown up the bomb and killed innocent....
different kind of movie...not typical...bit serious...but it has its light moments...wen they show roma and professor mathur teasing each other...songs which come in background are good...blend well with the movie...
watch it...you wont regret it....
