Know more about the captain of the Ship, the
director: Kabir Khan (born 1971) is an Indian film
director, screenwriter, and cinematographer. He started his career working in
documentary films, and then made his feature film directorial debut in 2006
with Kabul Express which was followed by New York (2009) and Ek Tha Tiger
(2012).
Khan started his career at age 24 as a
cinematographer for the Discovery Channel documentary film Beyond the Himalayas
(1996) directed by Gautam Ghosh. He then made his own directorial debut with
the documentary The Forgotten Army (1999) based on Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian
National Army. He then directed two more documentaries before shifting his
focus to mainstream cinema.
My Gut Feel and comments:
Bajrangi Bhaijaan has a simple story which
has been revealed in the promos from day one. Somehow I strongly believe
that if it was not led by Kabir Khan as a director then there were higher a
chance that film would have gone drastically wrong knowing star power of Salman
khan which although off late ensured box office success even to the
average movies.
I have high regards for Kabir Khan, as a
director with documentary directorial background, it gives him an edge as a
story teller. Charm of his work had been evident in “Kabul Express” and “New
York”. Narration has been a finer aspect of Kabir’s films. It is
simple to comprehend, and characterization is apt as per the demand of the
role. His movies holds serious backdrop however screenplay’s simplicity
gives them mass appeal which resulted in commercial gain to the movie.
In case of his latest offering, Salman Khan
compliments the character “Bajrangi Bhaijan” and is undoubtedly the apt choice
for this role. Film would not disappoint his fanatic fans and ever few over the
top moments in the film would be negotiable by the multiplex audience which even
if not accept by them whole heartedly however will not discarded outrageously
either.
There seems to be three refreshing aspects of
this movie – innocent little girl, Nawazuddin’s delightful presence and the
filming locations that will be the treat for the eye.
Going by my gut feel I am giving this
movie 3 star out of 5 stars, 2 days before the release.
