Spanning over 1.5 tension-filled and thrilling hours, it tells the tale of Indian journalist Suhel Khan (John Abraham) accompanied by his camera-man Jai Kapoor (Arshad Warsi) on a journey to capture a story that has never been told-a story that could very well cost them their lives. Kabul Express is based upon the personal and real-life experiences of director Kabir Khan in war-torn Kabul, Afghanistan. Although it doesn’t cater to all audiences, Kabul Express will surely find its audience. The only movie to be shot after the Taliban regime, Kabul Express surely deserves all the festival invitations (Toronto, London, Pusan). With debutant director Kabir Khan at the helm, and an interesting cast comprising of John Abraham, Arshad Warsi, Afghani actor Hanif Hum Ghum, Pakistani actor Salman Shahid, and American actress Linda Arsenio, Kabul Express turns out to be daring, thought-provoking, and extremely likeable. The question is, do they score or have they made a fool of themselves? Not only do they score but they emerge trumps! With Kabul Express, Yash Raj Films known for churning out mainstream hit after hit, dares to attempt something different. When a production house that carries a prestigious repertoire composing of titles like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Bunty aur Babli, and Veer-Zaara, decides to delve into a completely different genre, heads are sure to turn.
