Kabul Express has been in news for some time & people have been waiting for it. At least it is not worth the wait. Its a nice movie actually shot extensively in Afghanistan showing 2 rookies on their journey to newly liberated Afghan country. They have an Afghan guide with them. Its a journey where they discover the truth about humanity, the truth which is common to all the humans.
They meet a Taliban commander and he travels forces them to take him to Pakistan border. Pakistan govt has already decided not to let anyone enter in Pakistan (they say that no Pakistani is in Afghanistan, in spite of the fact that lots of them are there with Taliban). The Pakistani Taliban commander is running for his life from Afghan Army, not knowing that his own people are not ready to accept him.
There are a lots of nice moment in the movie during their journey. People from 3 countries fighting for their pride (war of words between Indian, Pakistani & Afghan). There is also an American journalist who's looking for some spice & news. Then there's Taliban's daughter who doesn't wants to meet his father.
Lots of content lots of emotions however movie seems week at the point of execution. It does looks quite real in some terms (as the location and lots of people are real) but seems like a documentary at places. Arshad has done a good job & so has Salman Shahid in the role of Taliban Commander.
Only if the movie could have been made in a more appealing way it could have strike a chord with masses too...
