Kabir Khan, take a bow!

Well, he must.

Kabul Express. It's one of the boldest pieces of film making from India. The boldest list would include very few movies like Black Friday, Paanch, Satya, Bombay and the like. Bombay, if you ask why, then simply because of the time during which it was released. Nicely done.

But this post is not about them. This is about Kabul Express. A film about two people in post-war Afghanistan. It's not got stunts, songs or even great sets. But it's got guts. The writing, the moments. It's gripping.

We've finally pulled of a film where subtle humour, under-handed taunts have actually been executed successfully. There is no compromise and even if there is, it's not visible. It's a film made from the heart.

Thank you Mr. Yash and Aditya Chopra for producing this one. A big banner always helps. Maybe we see a break away YRF (Yash Raj Films, for the uninitiated) that will help support bold, independent gutsy scripts.

But once again, take a bow, Mr. Khan.

PS: Please watch the film in a theatre. We need to give this one revenue, so that producers don't nip scripts like these in the bud.
