Review of Kurbaan (2009) by Kartik K — 17 Dec 2009
I thought this movie was awesome. I never saw "New York", so to the comments that it's a poor ripoff of that movie I say whatever. I loved how this movie dealt with a very real and controversial topic.
The movie itself was just very real and I liked that. The acting by both Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan was amazing. Saif Ali Khan brought so much depth to a complex character. There were times when you didn't know what to think or feel about Ehsaan and those emotions were very well conveyed through Kareen Kapoor's acting as Avantika.
I liked seeing her in this role because it was very different than the roles she usually takes on. Vivek Oberoi was great as well. I'm not really a fan of his but I have to admit that his acting was remarkable.
He does a great job of bringing to life the character of the one who wants to set everything right. He does the 'knight and shining armor' role justice. Finally, Om Puri and Kirron Kher did superb jobs as the leaders of the pack.
Kirron Kher especially for her amazing acting that leaves you with your jaw on the floor. That is also due to the incredible story and the many twists it has. I love how the story manages to sneak in a love story amidst the turmoil that exists in these characters' lives.
Bottom line, this is a amazing suspenseful thriller with heart.
