Synopsis

The film is about the difficult situation in which the Pakistanis in particular and the Muslims in general are caught up since 9/11. There is a war going on between the Fundamentalists and the Liberal Muslims. This situation is creating a drift not only between the Western world and the Muslims, but also within the Muslims. The educated and modern Muslims are in a difficult situation because of their approach towards life and their western attire. They are criticized and harassed by the fundamentalists and on the other hand the Western world sees them as potential suspects of terrorism just because of their Muslim names.

ALLY HASSAN ALI I watched this movie for the sake of the fact that ShoMan directed this movie the director of Sonhere din, the best TV serial after Tanhiyaan, and i was not disappointed. Shaan is absolutely awesome with his acting skills which was given life by ShoMan i would recommend to him if he reads this,please get out of the Syed Noor world of Punjabi films because Punjabi Pakistani films are dead when we lost Sultan Rahi and enter this world of ShoMan because he has earned a lot of respect by this movie. Iman Ali and others were a great touch to this movie, they match to the theme of the plot and movie set-up. Still there is lot of work to be done in Pakistani movies but this is just the beginning. i believe we have not seen the last of ShoMan.
manish rathore Khuda ke Liye means "in the name of god" deals with the problems Muslim youth facing today and the most important of them is culture clash between generations.beside being a very important movie,to see to understand many situations under which peoples life get affected wrongly,it is a very daring and courageous effort from makers of the movie.the main problem with cinema of India and Pakistan, they don't deal with problem of their own country but this movie does.the story of the movie revolves around a Pakistani Muslim family,two brothers,one living in Pakistan have two sons who want to become famous singers and another one have daughter living in America, i will not tell rest of story as i want you peoples from different countries to see this movie so that you can understand and this movie can give you lots of answers about terrorism and the situations and conflicts that affect the life of innocent peoples,how they are forced to do what they don't want to do,how a innocent man can accused of crimes he did not commit in a country like America.beside being based on such a nice story,the movie is filmed very beautifully and perfectly.i am still wondering how they achieved such level production quality.great acting and direction.a must watch,very important movie to understand what is going on "in the name of god"
Phaneendra Kumar Khuda Ke Liye is like an eye opener of sorts for many people(across various religions and continents).I saw this movie a fortnight ago and since then the movie is revolving at the back of my mind. It has left such an impression that no movie has done till date. Cinema is an art which mirrors the society as it is. Being an Indian, after watching this movie, I understood a lot about Pakistan and the culture there. The movie depicts the story of two brothers from Lahore, whose lives are catapulted through circumstances.Mansoor is the elder brother, who is studying music in Chicago and is a victim of the haters of Muslim community, thinking that every Muslim is a terrorist. Sarmad, the younger one is influenced by an orthodox Mulla to follow Islam like the QURAN says, by growing beard, dressing in huliya and stuff..The movie features a performance by Naseerudin Shah in the role Maulana Wali, who explains Islam as a religion and what a true Muslim should do instead of killing each other in the name if Jihad.This movie is a must watch for every Muslim, as it can show the correct path to all the confused Muslim youth..Also this movie is a must watch for every Indian, as this would change our perspective towards the Pakistani society. Also every westerner should watch this film before concluding that every Muslim is a terrorist. In short, this film is so huge on humanitarian grounds, that no film ever can reach the heights that this has reached.Khuda ke liye(For God's sake)..do not miss Khuda ke liye.
ganguly-amlan this is a great movie. but unfortunately some fans have no other way to appreciate this great movie other than comparing it with movies from India and calling Indian Cinema as "crap from across the border". Whoever wrote is the dumbest and most ignorant film critic ever. But that apart let me talk about a few others who think this is a triumph of Pakistan over India. The Muslim rulers of India during the Sultanate and Mughal periods were not common men and Muslims and Hindus were there subjects alike for all those years. All common men of Pakistan did not rule India for 1000 yrs. If some dumb ass says that then it also means that Indian Hindus ruled the landmass that is Pakistan for the rest of the 5000 yrs which is the age of Indian Civiilization. I would also like to point to the song based on the Tilak Kamod Raag: "Neer Bharan" it is essentially about the love and frolic of Lord Krishna and Radhika. In the movie a Muslim guy from Pakistan sings the song. My point here is not to prove the triumph of India or Hinduism...it is simply that India and Pakistan are simply part of a larger whole...we are the same people...what is ours we are ready to share...and we in India are ready to see similar behavior from across the border...respect, love and friendship alone can heal the damage that has been done on both sides...so let us not term each other as from "across the border" at least when talking about art and creativity. It really undermines such great works. I hope all will realize this.
