3.5/5 | No Score Yet | Khuda Ke Liye (2007) |
This is a valiant effort by debutante director Mansoor; a veteran writer / director from TV and lyricist; he makes a commendable first impression. This is thankfully far removed from your typical kitsch Pak-blockbuster. - Future Movies UK

Mani Ratnam is a master film-maker, in fact, he's probably the best. Definitely the most revered - and India's answer to Spielberg. - Future Movies UK

A chilling yet appropriately tempered and charismatic antidote to your archetypal seasonal fare, Kurbaan is a gripping white knuckle ride that turns at all the right places for the ultimate thrill ride. - Future Movies UK

2/5 | No Score Yet | Karam (2005) |
The film is definitely innovative, but not taut enough to be a thriller, nor engaging enough to work as a drama. The sum of all its' parts producing a disappointingly average outcome. - Future Movies UK

As [Aamir Khan] explodes with grief and then just as quickly forgets it, it's touching, emotional, and all too believable. Think amnesia on steroids, via Lee Strasberg. - Future Movies UK
