Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

silvan-desouza Kabir Khan debuted with this film, which was based on his real life experiences of his journey in war torn Afghanistan. The film released in 2006 when Yrf's other film DHOOM 2 had released few weeks back and was a blockbuster. This film stays out of commercialism, more on war reporting. The film was received well in many film festivals but didn't really work in India The film is well handled by Kabir Khan, the scenes between Salman Shahid and John,Arshad are well handled, also the scene wherein Salman Shahid goes to meet his daughter, the light banter also is well handled. The climax too moves you Minus of the film perhaps is it won't appeal to all Direction is awesome Music is okay Camera-work is superb, This was a film after ages that was shot in Afghanistan.Arshad Warsi takes a break from his Golmaal and other types of films except LRMB and proves he is capable of much more, he handles his role well John Abraham is good in his role too, Salman Shahid is terrific in his role, Hanif Hum Ghum is good too rest are all good Thankfully Kabir Khan has signed actors as per their nationality and that adds authentic flavour.

manjodude This is a thought-provoking and very well made movie. A very interesting take on how war affects the psyche of the civilians, terrorists and even journalists hunting for an exclusive story. The highlights of the movie are the excellent cinematography, masterful direction, funny moments amidst terrifying situations and impressive, natural performances from literally everybody in the movie. That's the best thing about director Kabir Khan. He makes everyone acts so well, including the foreign cast. Clearly, the stars of Kabul Express are not John Abraham or Arshad Warsi but the Pakistani actor Salman Shahid(terrorist) and Afghan actor Hanif Hum Ghum(Afghan driver) who come up with very intense, realistic acting. Even John, Arshad and the pretty American actress Linda Arsenio were good in their roles. Arshad provides the apt comic relief throughout.As good as the movie was, it didn't do well commercially. Perhaps a song or two involving the characters might have helped earn more money. I also felt an exposing scene involving Linda could have been toned down.Whatever the case may be, we should salute the entire crew of Kabul Express for braving the risk of gun shots or bomb explosions daily to successfully make a delightful movie completely in Afghanistan. Hats off!Verdict - A thumbs up. Feel the positive bond between the good and the 'bad' here as both face a common enemy.

bollywoodplusplus I won't say, this is a must see movie - however, its a great watch, if you are in a mood for sinking into the beautiful mountainous sorrounding of Kabul and Afghanistan - this is the movie for you. Slow paced it may be, but it has no boring moment. Very well cast, esp the Pakistani.I totally enjoyed the conversations, and got little bit into the psyche of each character. All the characters are very real.Movie has actually no songs, but few songs were released , i guess for the publicity of the movie. The title track, Kabul fiza, and Shubha Mudgals 'Banjar' were great tracks. The background score is excellent, kinda captures the beauty and intensity of the sorrounding at the same time.One note for the cinematography - its awesome to show the widescreen panoramic awesome shots of Kabul, the hills, and blue sky - it looks tremendous.

indu9 & really awesome one !!! Bollywood doesn't really make lots of movies on theme other than family drama or love or comedy. The maximum deviation that you can find is a very few movies based on domestic terrorism movies. This one definitely stood out than the rest in that regard. A very simple story, yet strong enough to capture the audience till the end. light comedy yet depicting the horror of Afganistan during the Taliban regime, mostly through dialogs. Most of the shootings as per one John Abraham's comment as done in Afganistan, that could justify why there is no Bollywood Actress and hence no typical Hindi songs. Everyone's role is competitive and justifiable. The director could do a better job in showing (through video not narration) of the horrifying past. Most of the shooting appeared to involve very few people in/around a very small mountain range. But hey, this is the first Indian movie as such in this category, so no complain there either :)
