Qurbani

That Firoz Khan was a suave filmmaker was proved by Dharmatma which he made in the seventies. Qurbani confirmed the debonair director's skills.

Qurbani is essentially a story of friendship and sacrifice. Firoz himself and Vinod Khanna play the friends while Zeenat Aman is their common romantic interest. The story revolves around friendship, love, and there is a sub plot of underworld excesses affecting the lives of the three protagonists.

The film ends with the sacrifice of one friend. Vinod Khanna dies thus uniting Firoz Khan and Zeenat Aman forever. One of the film's songs {Aaap jaisa koi} sung by Nazia Haasan almost became a national anthem and made Nazia a legend.

Review By Kamal K

The movie serves its purpose well i.e. Entertainment...

The star cast is power packed ..be it the good guys or the bad guys... It has action , eye catching sequences and comedy And Beautiful Songs.

this movie is a very good action thriller with very good performances by Vinod Khanna and Feroz Khan and good comedy by Jagdeep, dinesh Hingoo (probably the first movie where he plays a parsi) and Amjad Khan (as the sharp cop who pretends to be a buffoon). The real show stealer is Zeenat Aman with her sensuous dancing and hit songs "aap jaisaa koi mere" and "lailaa oh lailaa".

Qurbani means 'sacrifice' and here it's about one man's sacrifice of his love for his friend (never mind if the girl, he loves ,

was in any case already in love with the friend!)

Anyways, the movie was a big hit of the year, primarily because of the music and a pleasantly surprize performance from Amjad Khan who plays a gum-chewing inspector constantly on the heels of both the heroes in the movie. Feroze khan carries on his Clint-Eastwood hangover in this movie as well, but does not disappoint. Vinod Khanna , highly under-rated in his times, comes up with a good performance. Zeenat is supposed to look sexy and she does that with aplomb.

Music of this movie, was a huge factor in it's success. It introduced a new singer Nazia-Hassan (a brit-pakistani) to hindi filmdom and she was an overnight star. The music director 'Kalyanji Anandji' got a new lease of life and it was also a stepping stone for 'Viju Shah' (I think he's the son of Kalyanji) to jump into the big league albeit temporarily.

Overall, a good entertainer, that was a big hit. I'd give it a 7.0/10.0.

Qurbani is undoubtedly one of the best film made in India.After Sholay(1975)this is the second best film which was viewed by more people and it created a history in Indian Cinema.Qurbani has action and also thrills.The song "Aap Jaisa Koi" has been the Favourite ring tone of Indians till date..Vinod Khanna has surprised the Audiences through his different acting style.Aruna Irani has attracted Audiences as a wicked woman.Her face reactions and Dialogues in the opening scene of movie is fantastic.Zeenat Aman is extremely sexy in this movie.I would salute Feroz Khan for producing and directing second best film in India.Nothing to say more about the film.I request my all brothers and sisters of India to watch this movie before the death takes place.
