Kabul Express ***
I am tempted to give 4 stars.
If ur one of those for whom beauty and cinematic brillance is confined to chiffon clad sarees at the snow capped mountain ranges and dance/romnance sequences along serene lakes which is usual to A Yash Chopra Production chances are u might not like this one.
On the other hand if u love rocky deserts and find barren landscapes with war torn buildings, dilapidated structures and eerie locations something to relish, then this movie offers plenty of it.
Probably the best Yash Raj film after Dhoom. And thanks to a discerning audience and the multiplexes brillant directors like Kabir Khan get some space to tell a story and spectaculary shot. Oh!! just brillant!! in the way the movie is shot. Photography,cinematography,sound, amazing background score et al are amazing.
Why not 4 stars? Cause at points I thought the story was forced on you and it needed more of the political element in it, instead, the movie at most points is trying to tell the story thru the people's expriences. Things such as Opium trade and the Soviets I thought should have been highlighted.....
Neverthless a brillant film! Kudos to Yash raj and yeah if ur among those u dont enjoy international politics and war torn stories and need the masala element then let this one pass. It's not ur usual blockbuster but a brillantly shot and narrated film.
