The moral of the story seems to be Imran Khan Afridi's transition to a friendly old man from an aggressive old fart, showing how we assume even good people to be bad sometimes just based on stereotypes. Another parallel moral... Full review

That is a great film from two main aspects. The first aspect is, everyone is in. A Paki, an Afghan, Two Indians and of course an American as a non-hero late role which is literal. As an actual America in... Full review
I read about the plot on Kabuls Express' website. At first the story about two Indian journalists traveling through Afghanistan with a journalist from england seemed very interesting and very realistic. Aditionally Yash Chopra is the biggest film producer in Bollywood... Full review
Good picture and candid humor to go alone with the serious theme that shows the destruction the country of Afghanistan has gone through in the past 3 decades. The movie is a blend of fiction and a bunch of facts... Full review

I remember many, many years ago, someone said to me, "I don't think Andy's coming - do you want his place?" Before even the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, before the middle east became a constant war-ground, a number of my... Full review

Different and Worth a Watch

Different… Humorous… Poignant … that's what this ride called 'Kabul Express,' is about and a good experimental effort by the production house of Adi Chopra known more for his romantic tear-jerker's. This time he breaks away from the regular mould... Full review

The film unfolds essentially as a road movie and Kabul Express is the name of the van which transports two Indian journalists (John and Arshad) in search of a good story through war ravaged Afghanistan. If debutant director Kabir Khan wanted to give the innovative cinema buff a taste of exotica, he somehow succeeded. ... Full Review

Kabul Express deals with a complex subject and for the uninitiated who dont follow world news that often, the story will be difficult to follow. Kabir Khans Kabul Express is a film that extracts such vignettes of implausible possibilities in the war torn Afghanistan where voice-of-reason is riddled with a stream of bullets. ... Full Review

Do not mistake that for a good film. Yet another major flaw with the film comes with the main characters lacking in conviction. IN terms of sheer performances the non Indian actors show greater class and add flesh to the roles. ... Full Review
