Qurbani

The Clint Eastwood of Bollywood, Feroz Khan went way out of the box to deliver a cult ahead of it's time. This movie offers everything that you would expect of a crime thriller - Fast but on track screenplay, great music, action (couldn't expect anything less from the deadly duo of Khan & Khanna), romance, deception, misconception and finally an epic sacrifice. Back then when most of the director's in Bollywood were struggling to deliver anything more than action and few dance numbers to the youths of the nation, Khan cleverly manages to deliver Bollywood its first iconic sex symbol (Zeenat Aman) without going overboard. The sizzling dance numbers "Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aye" & "Laila Main Laila" once witnessed will surely have a lasting impact.

A complete entertainment package with some great dialogues, intense action sequences with few comical punches to ease the tension, wonderful music and choreography.

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.

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.

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.

Looking for a cool, stylish, action-packed Bollywood flick with some memorable musical numbers? "Qurbani" fits the bill.

I rented this from an Indian video store in town, on the advice of my wife. The DVD is pretty easy to find and has English subtitles.

The music is exceptional. Several of the tracks were lifted for the cult-classic compilation "Bombay the Hard Way," and I was shocked at how much of that album came directly from this film. There are at least three musical numbers which will leave a vivid impression on you - particularly a disco number with trippy visuals.

The action also doesn't disappoint, and there's a leg-breaking scene that's surprisingly intense. This is one Bollywood classic that I actually think is worth owning.
