Starring: John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan
Director: Kabir Khan
Rating: ****** (Excellent)
You rarely come across really good Hindi films. Or may be, only commercial films are available in the South and you don’t normally get much choice. It gives you immense pleasure when out of these majority soap operas, you accidentally come across such excellent attempts.
The story is completely set up in the US. Omar, played by Neil, is picked up by the FBI and detained for arms found in his taxi. With the pressure from the FBI Officer ( Irrfan Khan) , he agrees to work as their agent and explore more about the family of Samir (John Abraham) and Maya ( Katrina Kaif). Omar was their college friend and knew both of them very closely. He loved Maya then and when he found that Maya actually loved Sameer, he left the college, leaving their contacts. The rest of the story is about how Neil finds them, stays with the family and tries to explore what his bosses are looking for. The story moves at an excellent pace and keeps you on toes. It takes a different turn with the interval .
This was shot entirely in the US and could be easily mistaken for a Hollywood film. The film shows you how circumstances creates a terrorist. The torture scenes are horrific and takes a dig at the ways American FBI follows hypocrisy, advocating human rights to the external world and at the same time, resorting to inhuman treatment to the Muslims in the name of suspected terrorism.
