Okay, so I had seen a couple of time pass movies, all fluff no substance prior to this one. So I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, from start to the end, it never stalls or gets off track. Unfortunately the movie does little to break the western stereotypes for the Muslim male, which is what I thought it would do, at least to some extent. From gross DV, honor killing to sleeper cells, this movie/characters reinforces most of the stereotypes except for Riyaaz and her GF, played by the ravishingly beautiful Dia Mirza. I took away two points for one sided portrayal of the Islamic community in America. There should have been a couple of more scenes to show that majority of the Muslims don't fit the stereotype and that the characters shown represent a small minority. Overall it is an excellent thriller, one of the better movies out of the Johar stable. Highly recommend taking a look. Add 2 to the IMDb rating for a fair rating, the current rating grossly underrates the movie, I suspect it is due to backlash from angry Muslims, some of which is justified given the largely one sided portrayal of the Islamic community.
