Kurbaan
2009
Kurbaan (transl. Sacrificed ) is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Rensil D'Silva and produced by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions. It is based on a story by Johar who co-wrote the screenplay with D'Silva. Starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, the story revolves around Avantika Ahuja (Kapoor), a psychology professor in New York who returns to Delhi, India to caretake her ailing father and develops a relationship with Ehsaan (Khan). Avantika and Ehsaan fall in love, get married, and leave for the United States, where she discovers that his family is linked to Islamic terrorist groups after witnessing the house arrest, domestic abuse and murder of now family member Salma (Nauheed Cyrusi). The film's backdrop on global terrorism forms the crux.
The original story was conceptualized by Johar, who wanted D'Silva to direct it. In his directorial debut, D'Silva framed the script through the lens of the female protagonist, the romance between Khan and Kapoor, the thriller element, and a social message. The film was shot across Philadelphia, Brooklyn, New York City, Delhi and Mumbai between winter 2008 to fall 2009.
The background score and soundtrack album are composed by the duo Salim–Sulaiman. The song sequences were choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant. Anurag Kashyap and lyricist Niranjan Iyengar have penned the dialogues.
The film received positive reviews from critics, especially the direction, screenplay, music, and performances by Khan, Kapoor and Kirron Kher. However, it was declared a flop by Box Office India. Despite the film's commercial failure, the music of the film was nominated for several awards, including the Filmfare Awards, where Salim Merchant and Sonu Nigam were nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for "Shukran Allah". Also, Kapoor was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.
