[–] XxMaverickxX 12 years ago

Hello Usman,

Director Kabir Khan has confirmed on numerous occasions that this film is not anti-Pakistan. Furthermore, the Pakistani censor board have granted this film a no objection certificate. Awating clarification from the censor board, this film will release in Pakistan.

This is banned in Pakistan as of now. Haha, Pakistan govt. doesn't want their citizens to even hear about ISI.

Question to any Pakistanis here, does the media report on ISI in Pakistan, such as what they do, their recent activities, any cover-ups, corruption, etc...? Or is it not allowed by the govt., either directly or indirectly?

Bhai this film is not at all anti-pakistani. I have seen it. It just shows the distrust that exists between two rival intel agencies, which is quite natural. The film shows everyone doing their respective duties, without offending anyone. A RAW agent will surely be shown as an Indian patriot and an ISI agent will be a Pakistani patriot. So, no problems :)

dude remeber the scene when Salman finds out the Katrina is agent she was stealing the scientist research. That to me was clear hit on ISI and then in the end Salman beating up ISI agents like they are block goons to save Katrina. I am an indian and I found all that offensive for a country's intelligence agency. And you say it is not Anti Paks? hmmmm

I am European and just saw the movie. This is no way anti-Pakistani. It shows two agencies RAW and ISI as very similar and fighting fairly against each other. Then there are two protagonist, one Indian and one Pakistani, which are equal. So either this is anti-Indian and anti-Pakistani at the same time or neither.

I actually think that these kind of movies can actually help the rapport between India and Pakistan. It shows how similar they are and how futile the constant fighting is. It also shows how two enemies can fall in love and be happy.

One of my favorite scenes is where ISI and RAW agents shoot at the couple and then look at each other and wonder how this happened; we are basically on the same side :)
