Movie Review: De Dana Dan and Kurbaan



Before the release of Kurbaan, comparisons were drawn to New York movie, the plot to the movie is more or less similar however the treatment of both stories is completely different, New York was a very casually handled movie, and the biggest stupidity i found in the story was that even Katrina's character knew that John Abraham who played Samir's character was involved in terrorist activity, she was actually waiting for him to leave the wrong path, rather than she doing anything, and New York's story was revolving around the story of 3 freinds and how their lives changed after 9/11 incident, whereas Kurbaan explores the plot on a completely different level.

There is no melodrama to the story, from both lead actors Saif and Kareena, i think Kareena had to salvage her credibility as a actress of calibre which had recently drawn flak to the roles she had done in Kambakht Ishq and Main Aur Mrs Khanna, The background score by Salim Suleiman is riveting and is a big plus for the movie, this movie tends to go a bit slow in some parts, debutant director Rensil D'silva has directed the movie well, sadly this movie has performed below average, at least in my view it is much better than New York.



The Second movie saw this weekend, this movie is a real torcher to your brains, don't even watch it for free if it airs on any channel and i know it would very soon, i spoiled my sunday and cursed myself for watching this movie, Akshay Kumar is on spree of delivering flop films after Chandni Chowk to China, he keeps arguing with the press and media that critics are going harsh on his movies, and one should not try to search for a logic in a comedy film, but his movies are crossing barries of stupidity film after film, this movie would evoke more frustration than comedy in you, towards the end of the movie you actually start scratching your head, figuring out how the story is evolving ( or you can say degrading), Priyadarshan repeats almost all actors which he has being working with in most of his comedy films, Katrina should now stop doing such movies just for the sake of being on good terms with Akshay, i could not relate her role and Sameera Reddy's role to the movie story, the only way you can sum up this movie is loud hamming with a large starcast and a common helter skelter running sequence in the end of almost all Priyadarshan comedy flicks, i wonder why they shot such movie in Singapore, where the major part of the movie was based in a Hotel, also Songs add to further pain in the story.

I had watched Blue on Colors and thought would somebody had really gone to the big screen to watch such flop flim, then i realised yes, people like me do get fooled watching  a movie like De Dana Dan on big screen.
