Movie Review: Kurbaan

Its a decent movie, but nothing great either.

Positives of the film would be : story is not bad, its quite a thriller at many points, good soft soulful music and of course the Delhi visuals in the first half of the movie (Thats always a treat:). As an aside, ever noticed how increasingly movies are being shot in Delhi, which did not happen as often earlier. Every fourth movie now seems to have been set in Delhi!).

Negatives would be too long a script (which sometimes just drags on and on), too many loopholes in the script and there is nothing new AT ALL in the story!! Its something like a New York and Fanaa mix, and I think I found the other two better than this movie. An of course Dia Mirza's lask of acting skills and the completely out-of-place faces that Vivek Oberoi makes at all the wrong scenes in the movie, it actually makes you laugh! Where has the Vivek of Saathiya and Company gone?

Anyways is a watchable movie and would give it 2.5 stars.

I wonder why all the critics are falling over themselves to give it a high rating? Is it because of the big star cast? Come to think of it, rarely have seen big starrers ever getting 1 or 2 stars...
