A perfect Eid release coming from Bollywood. This movie is built keeping various sentiments in mind, cant go wrong :)



You may look forward to:

• Undoubtedly Salman Khan. He plays a grounded personality with his marketed role as someone who being a staunch Hindu has an unbiased outlook towards humanity in general. He justifies the title of the movie
• Harshaali Malhotra is the female lead in my eyes. She dons innocense throughout on her absolute pretty face with extra cute smile. She speaks nothing but expresses very well, most of the humor in the movie owes to her
• Nawazuddin Siddiqui has a benchmark of his own. His mere appearance is enough to get him many applauds :) He takes over quite a bit of the plot on his shoulders in the 2nd half of the movie
• Om Puri is a pleasant cameo to the flick
• Good support worth a mention from Sharat Saxena and Meher Vij
• Music of the movie is decent, may not be chart busters, but are soothing numbers
• Certain aspects of the movie throws some light to the inner depth of the sentiments of local citizens of both the neighboring countries, Viz., India and Pakistan. It also attempts to highlight that its the politics which is the major culprit and not the people in general. People tend to follow as they are directed. A good attempt to heal some old wounds, i must say. Commendable!

What you can sleep over:

Kareena Kapoor. She is a place holder only for an adult female lead against Salman Khan. As usual, her content of the movie has nothing to talk about. Besides, she looks every inch a Muslim girl in that get up than a staunch Hindu! How stupid!




The dampeners you should be aware of:

Over sentimentalization. You can see glimpses of 'Rajarshi Productions' in this film. :D Everyone is just way too decent, including patrolling officers of India as well Pakistan on the borders. Pretty unrealistic, but i let it go, for one reason that they didn't goof up the rest of the story





My Rating: 3.5/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
