Unfreedom

The title would do enough but review needs to be five sentences long. One of the worst movies I ever saw. Everything about this movie is bad. And the end??? Sugar on top. You really need to have no taste at all to make something like this.

Good movie to watch for especially the director has given but it is banned in india due to explicit scenes but movie is almost best.

This movie starts with a bang, but that's the only spark it has. It immediately grabs attention with riveting writing and screenplay, only to squander every ounce of potential in the most frustrating ways. As an Indian moviegoer, the initial intrigue stemmed from its ban, but after watching, it's clear the ban was the only reason anyone cared.

Raj Amit Kumar has taken what could have been a powerful concept and turned it into an outright disaster. The film is a grotesque waste of talent and resources. The hyper-sexualization throughout is not only unnecessary but downright problematic, overshadowing the themes it pretends to explore. The misuse of skilled actors is criminal, forcing them into caricatures rather than meaningful roles. Instead of achieving a balance between reality and fiction, the movie spirals into a confused, pretentious mess.

In the end, this isn't cinema-it's a shabby, self-indulgent art project that tries too hard to shock and provoke without offering substance. It's an insult to both filmmaking and the audience's intelligence.

Here it goes... Those who don't watch it, wont miss anything.

The Idea of the movie was good even if nothing fresh, but the movie making was completely lousy. Acting and Direction both lacked polish and it had a typical B-grade movie experience to it. Nude scenes when incorporated were unnecessary / out of context and felt like they were put there just for the sake of it. The screenplay has way too many plot holes and gaffes. People who are gay or lesbian or bi, they do not run around rubbing it in the face of other people to make themselves feel better. Lack of sophistication and finesse to handle sensitive issues often makes the performing characters look stupid. If you want to highlight some of the most prominent issues of our times, at least a sincere effort is expected.

Greetings again from the darkness. Societal mores are always slow to change, but the slow acceptance of new cultural ideals pales in comparison to the evolution of religious beliefs and traditions, which can take multiple millenniums for even the smallest revisions. First time director Raj Amit Kumar co-wrote the script with Damon J Taylor, and they seem anxious to point out the out-of-step status of Muslims in regards to both pacifism and sexual orientation.

The structure of the film can be a bit tough to follow as a viewer since there are two seemingly unrelated stories, along with the corresponding flashbacks for character perspective. One story follows an angry idealist has he accepts his assignment for terrorism and travels from Pakistan to New York City. Mohammed Husain's (played by Bhanu Uday) mission is to coerce (a word much too nice for his actions) pacifist Muslim scholar Fareed Rahmani (Victor Banjeree) into admitting on video that he is a fraud and not a true Muslim. The other story has Leela Singh (Preeti Gupta) as a frustrated lesbian woman in New Delhi who has refused ten marriages arranged by her devout father (Adil Hussain), and finally runs away to meet her choice of lover … artist Sakhi (Bhavani Lee), whose current boyfriend finds Leela's passion comical – right up until he doesn't.

A running theme for both story lines, as well as the numerous sub-plots, is specifically stated as "It's the choice we make when we are most cornered in life that define us". Solution through violence and torture is consistent through both stories, and as disgusting as the actions of terrorist Husain are, it's the actions of Leela's father that are the most stomach churning and confounding. There are a few shots taken at the power of Wall Street, but the actions of greed don't compare to the more severe and unforgivable actions driven by religious beliefs. The film was originally entitled "Blemished Light", but it's difficult to find illumination in this well-acted film that exposes clouded thought processes.
