Khuda Ke Liye
quick review:
Fanaticsm, racial profiling, feminism, generation gap, lost identities of people moving from the East to the West - Khuda Ke Liye covers it all with a good forceful impact in the end.
NOT A REVIEW - just some thoughts from a quick look-up on the internet...
For movie-lovers, just the fact that Khuda Kay Liye - a Pakistani movie - has found its way into theaters in India is a good enough reason to rejoice. This is certainly a move in the right direction with other internationally acclaimed movies (Lives of Others, 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days) being screened in mainstream cinema halls. I am sure they wont find an audience in the interiors, but well-begun is half-done, right?
Hope to catch it soon...

This is an absolutely brilliant movie!!!
In this genre 'American History X' was my favorite. But I must say "Khuda ke liye, American History X ka baap hai!"
First of all hats off to this great director Shoaib Mansoor for his courage to tackle this subject. This director has touched many sensitive issues very boldly.
This is a A strongly recommended must watch movie for everyone who dreams for a better world!

Not sure if I could say if this movie is better than any other but this one definitely managed to successfully deliver this message. Kudos to the director to have done it so well.
Meetu - I can't agree more on the actors being stiff.. They definitely need more classes. But I am surprised you didn't mention Naseeruddin Shah who was so convincing in his role. An actor par brilliance.. He had probably the most crucial role in the movie.
Apart from that I think the director could have done better in the 'casting' section - especially the entire crew in Chicago. Surely there are more African Americans who might actually look like real music teachers. And the whole American investigative crew was a disaster.
Don't know if you allow this in wogma but I thought you might like this music video that Shoib Mansoor has made as well. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-M4hG3731s

The message was good but what was up with the supposedly "British" accent of the Pakistani girl (can't remember her name). I'm sorry but that was way off! It's little things like these that dampen the overall experience in what was otherwise a good movie with a strong message!
I am an indian muslim, born and brought up in saudi arabia, and is currently studying in UK. In my point of view this is one of the most important movie of our times. Just attempting a subect like this has to be applauded. It was true to its subject and the performance of Naseeruddin shah was terrific along with others. The music was fabulous and ya it was way better then the crap that bollywood vomits at us in dozens every yr. The only shortcoming i c has to be the editing. Overall i ll give this movie a 9/10.
Good message, but the screenplay is overburdened with too many complexities, social and religious. Was it necessary to tackle all the problems in one single movie? The editing and the delivery were not seamless. I feel the best part of the movie was Naseeruddin Shah's dialogues and the message he provides. Its a 6.5 on 10 for me.
it is absolutly a fabulos movie. the msg is very good to prevail. fantastic acting and songs
This movie is absolutely wonderful.Thnak you!
u have great site
