Storyline
Bangistan is a whip smart and uproarious satire on fundamentalism and the story of two unlikely terrorists, the antitheses of each other, with a common destructive goal. Concerned by the unrest in the name of religion, Subcontinental leaders of Muslims and Hindus, the Imam and the Shankaracharya, announce that they're attending the International Peace Conference in Krakow in a joint effort to help unite the two religions in perpetual harmony. Rival rabble-rousing ragtag organizations, the Islamist Al-Kaam Tamam and right-wing political party Maa Ka Dal separately recruit and brainwash Hafeez and Praveen to suicide bomb the conference so that they may continue to wield their local influence. After a rigorous, and hilarious, 'training' period the two men switch their religious identities to stay under the radar. Hafeez, the jihadi, masquerades as a conservative Hindu, Ishwarchand; while Praveen, the Hindu soldier, dons the garb of a practicing Muslim, Allahrakha. Focused on the mission,...

The movie has excellent story and excellent theme. Actors performed very well for this movie. Songs are simply superb. I don't watch Indian movies without skipping unnecessary parts. But this movie was fully entertaining and you do not need to skip anything. I don't know why other reviewers didn't like it. But whatever they said is not true. They might be saying because of religion/race. You could not ask for better entertaining movie. There should be more movies like this that explain the concept of humanity with a sense of humor and without insulting or disrespecting any one race. I agree with the user http://www.imdb.com/user/ur18203698/ . This movie is one of the finest movies I have seen in a long time.
