Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Console best movie i've ever seen.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Anurag Yaparla This movie is sheer brilliance scripted together to make an intriguing amalgam of dark comedy keeping the viewer gripped until the very end only to be awestruck by a series of bizarre twists as the plot slips into death like seriousness.This movie has an excellent 'read between the lines' subtlety to it, making it one of the most interesting Hindi movie made in recent times.Ram Ramesh Sharma touches sensitive topics throughout the film keeping it crisp with dramatic cinematography and the location resonates well making it a visual treat to watch for the viewers.The real reason why one must watch this movie is to understand the sensitivity of the subjects pondered upon, to make the audience realize the underlying hypocrisy which fills most of us to the brim and to materialize the content with an open mind trying enjoy the movie without any veiled prejudices.This movie touches topics very real, yet hidden behind the taboos of an ungrateful Indian society; one must stop on the thought that if the freedom of speech exercised democratically by Ram Ramesh Sharma what compels the government to flex it's muscles and stall the release to such an extent that the makers are forced to release the movie directly on the internet. The troubled history of Kashmir is always used as an excuse to justify the archaic Armed Forces Special Power Act which is one of the most controversial acts passed with great impunity, which further militarizes the valley subjecting it to growing insurgency and mistrust among the civilians.The problem with this movie may lie with the fact that the movie was given too much hype around a few topics which are not really explored entirely. The movie sheds light on a very taboo issue which fails to confront the man made inequities in a society.The movie even though winning numerous awards was swiftly banned by the Indian Government allegedly stating the movie as defamatory and vulgarly exaggerating facts about influential Indian political figures of the Independence era.One must not pay heed to the director's personal opinions being thrust upon the audience, what one must observe is that the dissent expressed in the movie is logical and rational. One cannot simply be holding onto the negatives and the positives, to understand the movie completely one must first critique the pros and then compare them with the cons to ascertain a rational personal preference. I usually review exceptionally well made movies or the most horrible ones, this movie was simply exceptional and it deserved an unbiased review. If i were to compare this movie with other critically acclaimed flicks this movie gives a tremendous amount of intellectual competition to the ones made with the help of big budgets and movie stars. The actors performed with a great sense of ease and did justice to the scripted roles as there were hardly any weak acting moments during the movie. Overall this movie is a good watch and well made with a good deal of musical appeal as well, the movie could have been made better but no serious complaints as the movie keeps one at the edge of the seat till the very end.

kprabhav Some time ago,there was a post in Quora about what were the most over- rated Hindi films.How I wish I could go back in time to that post and say "Kaafiron ki Namaaz should be right at the top". The film opens to stunning visuals with a tinge of blue across every frame.These frames with a tinge of blue helped to depict the gloomy state of Kashmir Valley in the best possible way and I was pulled into the film.In the first few minutes,the narrator is shown moving about in a taxi which too has been painted in dull blue indicated that the story which the narrator is about to unfold isn't a happy one and I felt I was about to witness a master piece.But unfortunately,all the good things about this film ended right here(or that's what I believe).Not only do the good things end,but the bad things begin from here. The film moves to a depleted hotel,where a writer interviews an army man who has been court martial-ed and our narrator(the writer's assistant) films this on his camera.The army man who apparently is a nut job has made this hotel his abode.What follows from here is pure dialogue between the army man and the writer.About 1 and half hour into the film a third character,Junaid,a musician by day and tea-seller by night joins these two in their conversation.In between,either of the characters turn on the radio,and this radio keeps bombarding us with philosophical quotes every time it is switched on.The film's structure gets reversed in the 2nd half with the writer appearing to be the lunatic while the Army man more sane. Now,the hotel in which about 90% of the film is set looks as artificial as it can get.The army man's and the writer's costumes also look totally feigned.If the intention is to make a film based on dialogue then any film maker must learn a trick or two from Richard Linklater,which this film's director hasn't certainly learned.One maniac asking a question and the other maniac answering it only after the question has been repeated some 4-5 times(no apparent reason for this),gets on to your nerves at some point.The dialogues look well rehearsed and this was a major buzz kill.Every thing happening inside that hotel or for that matter say 90% of the film looked staged,like it was a theater act. But is that the whole point of the film,for the whole production design to look artificial??Was the theater-ish feel which this film had through out,a satire on something else all together??Was this a piece of meta-cinema and hence that artificiality(because it is the narrator who is narrating the whole story to us and this narrator can narrate it however he wishes).Did the narrator give us a skewed version of what happened inside that hotel,which draws parallel with how the media gives out skewed reports of what happens in Kashmir??What ever the P.O.V of the director was(if at all there was any)has lost it's purpose.Maybe a 10-15 minute short film could have been a better alternative than this 150 minutes of pretentious preaching. To sum it up I would say that not all beautifully shot independent films deserve critical acclaim,especially Kaafiron ki Namaaz which is a failed attempt by an extremely lucky director for he found a very supporting producer who went ahead with this project,despite the threat of getting banned looming large. P.S:-Every film which talks about Homo- Sexuality,Cannibalism,HIV,Necrophilia,Rape,Pornography etc doesn't become a great film.

Marshal Maskarenj Watching the screening at IIT Bombay Filmfest 2015 was an experience worth sharing, the interaction with the film makers taking it up by several notches. A beautiful narrative throughout, this movie has a soundtrack that is too good not to be mentioned. Mostly set inside a single hall, the concept of space is very beautifully expressed. The lighting as well as the cinematography was amazing. The movie shows a retired army man and a journalist in the lead roles; and the audience is kept engrossed in their discussions that subtly grow intense as the night progresses. They discuss beyond the regular topics; spanning religious standpoints, their past careers and arguing most of the time. As the movie progresses, the discussions turn into confessions so deep that it seemed they had never thought about those issues, let alone talk about them for a long time. Also with them is a local shopkeeper who mostly serves tea to the two lead characters while witnessing their arguments. The characters are beautifully thought of; the army man being a person from the exteriors of a society, the journalist being from innermost circles of a society and the shopkeeper as an ordinary person witnessing the arguments. A must watch!

admirbeuty It was a great experience at 20th KIFF watching Kaffiron Ki Namaaz.It was a well written script with some powerful dialogue- "Man get his religion even before he gets his name,if he is given a chance to learn all the religion of the world and an option to choose his own religion then there wont be any violence in the name of religion", left a lasting impression in my mind.Ram Ramesh Sharma gets full credit in extracting a fine performance from all the three lead characters.Though the major part of the film was inside a room in the format of an interview, it was so gripping and engrossing the audience never felt a moment of boredom, all the credit goes to the director Ram Ramesh Sharma for coming out with a such a masterpiece in his debut direction.Kudos to the entire team and specially the director Ram Ramesh Sharma and producer Bahrgav Saikia for the great debut.It can match any other international film in terms of execution, direction and production value and should be sent as official entry to Oscar from India.In fact it was my top five pick along with The Search, Omar, Force of Destiny and Chhoti Moti Batein in 20th KIFF.A must watch for all lovers of good and quality films with the best take away- Man gets his religion................Wishing the entire team for your theatrical release.It will be a surprise HIT like The Wednesday and Aamir.With Reagards, M.Venkat Raman
