REVIEW: Naseer's Khuda Kay Liye

The first film from Pakistan screened at IFFI is radical and has a lot of meat

It further fuels a debate on the tenets of Islam, which are often abused than used. Of course, while raking up this extremely sensitive issue, the film with its solid research takes the side of the modernists.

It is here that Maulana Wali (Naseeruddin Shah) enters and spells out the principles as he has interpreted them and stresses on the free will of each individual. His speech from the witness box is moving, powerful and most certainly one of the best we have seen in a very long time on celluloid. For those who haven't seen this actor on stage, here is just a sample of his sheer brilliance.

Khuda Kay Liye opens our eyes to some of the most gruesome acts committed under the name of religion but in the end subtly reminds us about the dignity in forgiving.

Verdict: Go watch this film if it manages to release in India. Else wait for the DVD. And yes, if you can, most certainly do buy the OST.

Rating: 4/5
