Storyline

Delhi University's Professor Avantika Ahuja meets fellow professor Ehsan Khan in typical Bollywood filmy style, and both fall in love with each other. Her father, who had preferred that she marry a Hindu, reluctantly permits them to get married. They do so, and subsequently re-locate to live in the United States. They buy a house, settle in, and are welcomed by their neighbors, Hamid and Anjum. A few days later Avantika's world will be turned upside down when she finds out that their neighbors are terrorists who want to avenge the deaths of innocent Iraqi and Afghani civilians massacred by British and American forces, and that her husband is not who he claims to be.

Amazing psychological thriller.
12 February 2012 | by (Houston, TX) – See all my reviews

An amazing psychological thriller. The acting is good, the soundtrack is good, even the effects are good. Whether or not everything is realistic is one thing, but it still did not fail at keeping its viewers at the edge of their seats. The only reason it has received so many negative votes is because it puts Islam in a bad light. Consequently, all of the 1-star reviews are from Muslims who don't want their religion in this light. However, the truth is that there are many people out there that do exist. And they are simply following the Quran's teachings. Any Muslim that denies that the Quran commands violence towards unbelievers is either lying or is outright ignorant of their own religion. But religion aside, this was a great movie.
