Kurbaan movie review: what critics say (10)
What critics say Critics are divided: 3 of 10 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 3 gave it 2 or less.
Kurbaan, produced by Karan Johar and directed by Rensil DSilva, constructs this unimaginably tortured situation and then squanders it.
Read the full reviewStripped to its bone, Rensil D’silva’s Kurbaan is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that seldom loses its grip on your attention.
Read the full reviewFor once here’s a film that does not feel long despite the two hours and 40 minutes.And if that’s not enough to get you interested, here’s the clincher. Kurbaan is bloody smart.
Read the full reviewThere is a consistent feeling of intrigue while you watch Kurbaan. Almost like a time bomb waiting to go off.
Read the full reviewNeither preachy nor wanting to make a statement, Kurbaan keeps it simple. It's a thriller that tackles terrorism and the Islamic viewpoint with maturity and depth.
Read the full reviewUnlike Khuda Ke Liye where you could sense the filmmaker's urge to put forward a point, Kurbaan is a `terrorist flick', where the Kareena-Saif chemistry will be better liked and talked about than the film's content.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
