DVD Review. Release Year 2006.
It has finally happened. Indian movies have moved from local issues and romantic melodrama, sometimes overloaded with songs, to handling international problems.
The movie Kabul Express is a story of three reporters, two men from India and one American lady who are in Afghanistan to report on the Taliban. The two young MALE actors from India and the LADY who plays an American reporter keep us engaged by mimicking the style of young people from their respective countries. It appears that the dialogues were done on the fly. The locale is authentic and the Afghani actors do a decent job. There is some gun violence. There are no bold statements made and the movie has the look of a documentary. That to me is its appeal. Average Indians used to the melodrama and songs may not like it but I like the divergence into a new type of film making!!
