Movie Review: Kurbaan (2009)

Shame on the makers of the film and those starring in it, I will boycott Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s film from now on, such racist anti-muslim propaganda in Kurban makes it disgusting, especially in times where such propaganda is used to kill thousands.

wow when i saw this movie it was discusting and it didnt make any since to me everything was bullshite and anti islam.now adays bollywood is copying everything from hollywood.

I am a sikh person and i have a lot of muslim friends and i honestly did not like this movie. Yes it does have an interesting plot, but i feel the movie really portrays muslims in a negative light. It does not do much to mitigate the hatred that hindus have towards muslims, but intensifies the stereotypes that people use to identify muslims. The movie’s trying to illustrate that nobody who’s a muslim should be spared from scrutiny of being a terrorist b/c even a professor, an engineer, a guard is involved in the terrorist plan, all sharing one common thing- a muslim name. It requires the audience to scrutinize everything from an anti muslim view point and leaves no one b/c apparently if you are muslim then you must be a fundamentalist regardless of your profession.
The fact that when Vivek is only considered an ally when he speaks about the injustices done by the western powers, b/c he’s considered a fundamentalist, shows the fundamental flaw in reasoning. Vivek spoke the truth of the western abuse of powers, which anyone with a little knowledge of history can understand, but if you state this ugly truth then obviously you are a terrorist? or a fundamentalist?

The movie makes me ashamed of bollywood, the actors did play their part well, but i have a strong feeling its jsut a method that will ultimately have a negative backlash against the muslim population creating us. vs them dichotomy and that is the last thing that we need.

As seen by discussion topics above, me its obvious that there is enough animosity among the different populations.

Soo Sad Johars,Karina & Saif just put themselves to zero after the roles they provided in it.Its just a false agenda against muslims and surely 0/5.

I agree.

After watching movies like “New York” and “Fanaa” I was highly impressed with the stories and the non-bias in the films, both sides were portrayed fairly and their story lines were realistic. However, Kurbaan was first off highly unrealistic and very anti-Muslim. Especially since there was no basis for a lot of the stuff, such as the daughter being killed and stored in her garage-that doesn’t happen, neither has there been a bomb brought onto a plane. It was a movie full of hatred and I’m surprised it is getting so much appraise from the audience. I’m disappointed in Karan Johar and in the Indian cinema. He should stick to his triangle love stories because if he want to make movies like this you can’t pull them out of your ass.

It is annoying to see Indian cinema trying to get into a subject that they have a very little understanding of. They are trying to kiss ass to Americans by trying to tell them that Pakistanis are terrorists in their subliminal messages delivered through movies. They need to get the facts straight and leave this terror and terror-related subjects focused on their Hindutva related terrorists acts and Indian Army’s terror in Kashmir. All they have to do is visit a Kashmiri home and they will find a real true story of Muslims suffering at the hands of Indian Army or Policies of Hindu ruling parties.

It is time that they stop producing 3rd rated propaganda movies and produce the movies on subjects that are really plagueing India such as abject poverty among Muslim due to Hindu discrimination against them, treatment of Kashmiris in their homeland by an occupying Army i.e., Indian Army. There are plenty of stories that are close to Indian ground reality.

Anyway, I watched an Indian movie after 2 year and what a disapointment it was. I guess I will put another self-imposed moratorium on watching Indian movies. What a waste of my time? Idiot writer, producers etc.

kafi ghatiya movie ban gayi hai
kuch

highly anti-muslim movie wont recommend it to anyone, dont know why such good star cast did sucha a horrible movie..

I found the movie Kurbaan to be quite Anti-Muslim. I am usually very open-minded about movies I watch, but in this case felt the producer, Karan Johar, should have been more responsible as I feel he has encouraged muslim hatred.

In the cinema I went to watch Kurbaan in, members of the audience were heckling and encouraged by the anti-muslim comments made by the university students regarding 9/11.
They didn’t have much to say when the 3000 dead in US were compared to the 15,000 killed in Afghanistan!

There were a couple of sentences portraying the muslim view, but the rest of it was quite anti-muslim.

1 thing that annoys me is why did Kareena Kapoor have to be Hindu? Did they not think a Muslim wife would feel horrified at being used by a man to get citizenship and be against terrorism? I am a muslim woman and am completely anti-terrorism from ANY religion.

Very disappointed with Karan Johar!
