Review of Qurbani

Qurbani (1980)
5/10

this film offers almost nothing for the viewer. it's one long bollywood joke, attempting to be every movie and settling on nothing. i just can't understand what people like about this, it makes no sense - at one point showing one of the heroes willing to give up his girlfriend to his best friend in order to prove his friendship. it's annoying that indians accept this kind of blatant cheating of the audience, as though we are supposed to believe that someone will just give their girlfriend to someone else, or that she is his possession to give away in the first place....

however, three or four of the songs are quite excellent, and they basically show that this film was just an attempt to put out some good songs. it seems like once that was realized, they just pulled bollywood clichés out of a hat and linked each of these scenes with a song... sadly, that's how most of these masala films are made, yet so many fools praise this kind of audience-hating....
