Khuda Kay Liye - Please Watch, for God's sake!

4 stars for concept...2 for execution...

The situations are real in some cases, but absurd in most. The Brit accents are unintentionally hilarious..the climax courtroom drama makes you wonder if its a court or a TV debate...thankfully the heart is in the right place, and message the director tries to send out comes across clearly, no thanks to the screenplay.

Production value fluctuates from big budget to classroom project. Music is superb. Acting - only the elder brother, the radical maulana and naseer leave any mark.

Watch the movie cuz its one of the most important messages coming out of Pakistan today.

(oh and make sure you brush up on your Urdu before sitting down, or get a subtitled copy)
