Kurbaan

Cast: Saif Ali Khan (Ehsan Khan/ Khalid) , Kareena Kapoor (Avantika), Vivek Oberoi (Riyaz Masood) and Om Puri (bhai jaan); Kiron Kher (Aapa)

The movie is a 7 on ten for me..! thoroughly entertaining!! u'll not regret buying a ticket for this one!

Avantika (kareena) comes to India from USA to take care of her Dad, bumps into Ehsan (Saif) at the college...no time wasted ,,,, they fall in love. Avantika gets an opportunity to go back to the USA; and the too good saif agrees to leave everything behind and go with her. (she never bothers to ask him about his family... the father also.. just about object the marriage, but gives in too soon.). truly they could have done some thing about this.

Avantika and Ehsan come over to the USA..Ehsan find a job at Avantika's college. They move into Indian neighborhood. are invited for dinner over by the neighbors.

Avantika mentions to Ehsan about the husband hitting lady from the neighborhood house. ehsan asks her to keep away from their family life and just relax. Avantika stops by to meet Salma's friend Rehana a reported and talks to her about the beating up and stuff; Riyaz (Vivek) who is also working at the news agency offers to help but once rehana is back from her Iraq trip. Avantika on the evening finds out that the family next door is involved in some terrorist activity and her husband is a part of it too. Activity and Rehana's flight is bombed and she dies. there is no mention of any kind of investigation, even when an entire news crew and a delegation from UN is dead. Avantika tries to stop rehana but is too late, manages to leave a voice message on the office phone; don't ask me why she does not dial 911.. and wastes time finding a visiting card and dialing too many numbers.. (psst it's a Hindi movie)

It's now about how she deals with the entire fact of being used. Director Rensil tried to show, Ehsan is a good person but because of his personal loss became a terrorist and sadly i could not empathize with any of the stories and facts. the circumstances get people into terrorist stuff that are doing now.

realization dawns upon Ehsan, but it's too late.

The movie is extremely gripping, has good twists. Worth a watch

The movie is a no brainier... very predictable yet funny. Prem and friends run a " Happy club" The club has just one objective and they work towards uniting people in love. They work for evry one to be "Happy" in life the Mantra is simple very very simple - be happy...make others happy...keep the town happy.!! but as you would guess.. their effort to make someone happy results in some disastrous hilarious.. ok ok.. funny consequences

In one such incident while trying to help his friend.. A case of mistaken identity.. the club kidnap's Jenny and Prem falls in love with her. Now, Jenny has a sad story, she is adopted and gets the STEP treatment all the time :'(.. all she wants is some love and care.

Prem the happy-go-lucky guy....realizes and wants to become the boy Jenny describes as the guy she would fall for. and from the careless boy he becomes the "responsible" .. but all his hopes are run down when jenny revels that she is in love with Rahul.

Now as the precedent of "Happy club" he cannot break the one and only rule.."make others happy" ; "make the town happy". he suppresses all his feelings for jenny and strives to unite her with Rahul.

If you are a hard core "Andaz Apna Apna fan" you'll see some resemblance .. though AAA is a master piece.. my personal fav and APKGK is no where near it..

Music is catchy. As mentioned though the movie is predictable. you will not mind watching and having a laugh. Go on and watch it!!
