Decided to watch this despite many friends telling me that this film isn’t worth a silver screen ticket. Well, I liked ‘Kabul Express’. It is a short and straight movie without the usual running around trees stuff and conveys a subtle sensation of the life of an abandoned soldier in a god-forsaken, war-plundered place. In a way, it depicts the softer side of the harshly branded ‘talib’.
John, Arshad, Linda Arsenio (Jessica – a US war reporter), Hanif Hum Ghum ( Khyber – an Afghan) and Salman Shahid (Imran Khan Afridi – an abandoned Pak Talib) have done their bit to make the movie interesting. I personally liked Salman Shahid….wonder where was this chap all these years?
The background score is neat and the dialogues are good. However, the landscapes tend to repeat and the scenes seem to be amiss now and then, but still its worth taking a ride on the Kabul Express!
