I had absolutely no idea what Qurbaan[2009] would be like because i had not seen any trailers or read any reviews about this movie.
Most of the movies that i go to the theater to watch are impromptu.Even if it is not, i prefer not to read too many reviews or see trailers because it simply spoils my movie experience.
If someone tells me that the movie is great i tend to set my expectations a little higher and hence would'nt enjoy the movie as i would have in case i hadnt heard about it.
The movie considering the real life chemistry between the lead actors ought to have been promising but proved to a damp squib.
Yes i must agree that there is chemistry to a certain extent but that does not breathe life to a loosely developed plot.
Vivek Oberoi gave a good performance and so did Kirron Kher who did full justice to her role.
The plot of Qurbaan deals with the protagonist[Kareena-Avantika] falling for a handsome professor[Saif-Ehsaan] who has recently joined the same college that she is working in. She has to go abroad for work and he tags along.
Later she comes to know that he is the kingpin for a terrorist network. The story revolves around her dealing with this knowledge. In the course of time she meets a man[Vivek Oberoi-Riyaaz Masood] who is dealing with a recent loss due to terrorist attack.
The movie was very predictable from the beginning, blame it on the humongous volume of movies on similar lines or the rather loose frame of the story line. The portrayal of the terrorist attacks deserve sympathy simply because it fails to convince the viewer of being realistic. Not to forget the FBI who in the movie appears handicapped.
The action sequences are mediocre and it tries in all earnestness to imitate hollywood.Somewhere towards the climax i almost thought it was a hollywood action sequence albeit loosely connected logic.
The atrocities that are prevalent in the name of religion depicted in the movie are serious and real. I agree one hundred percent to the fact that we have issues staying in a different country whether we choose acknowledge it or not.But such a serious issue could have been handled in a more mature manner.
When i came out of the theatre i was left wondering what message the movie conveyed.
Final Verdict:The movie could have been better. Nevertheless it was a good attempt.I would give it a 2.3 on 5.
