i liked this movie. it was good, and good in a way that does not often come out of bollywood. THANK GOD for the "no song or dance" rule...
however i think it is too good to be true. does anyone know if this movie is a copy or ripoff of any hollywood movie?
if it is not i will be truly happy.
its not a rip off,its inspired by director Kabir Khan's experiences and encounters in Afghanistan with Taliban prisoners
shareat last!!!
now lets wait and see how long before hollywood copies this... ;)
this is most definitely inspired by "no man's land"- a movie from bosnia-herzegovina. the director knows that his audience is aware of hollywood, so he used elements from a non-american film. do watch no man's land if you can, you'll love it.
this is the movie that won the oscar for best foreign film the year lagaan got nominated.
haha look, imdb even has relevant quotes from no man's land:
Sgt. Marchand: Vous parlez francais?
Serb private: No.
Sgt. Marchand: Do you speak English?
Serb private: Yes.
Sgt. Marchand: We came for people.
Serb private: Yes.
Sgt. Marchand: People between lines.
Serb private: Yes, yes.
Sgt. Marchand: Where are they?
Serb private: Yes, yes, yes.
Sgt. Marchand: Ok, you don't understand a word of what I'm saying, right?
Serb private: Yes.
and this bit:
Nino points a gun at Chiki]
Nino: Now... tell me. Who started the war?
Chiki: [long pause] We did.
