Story:
Two musically gifted brothers, Mansoor and Sarmad, come from a non-conservative Muslim family. Mansoor heads off to the US and Sarmad wants to follow the Jihadi’s interpretation of Islam. Both of them suffer at the hands of people whose ears are closed to beliefs other than their own.
What worked:
- Speech on what Islam really is delivered by Naseeruddin Shah.
What didn’t:
- Dubbing!
Nitty-gritty:
- The exteriors and interiors of Mansoor’s house didn’t match.
Rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
