Honour For Kabul Express
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,July 26 2006]
Yash Raj Films have come to be associated with a certain brand of commercial cinema. For them to produce a hard boiled docu drama like ÂKabul Express has come as a pleasant surprise. Directed by well known documentary filmmaker Kabir Khan, starring John Abraham and Arshad Warsi, ÂKabul Express has been selected in the Special Presentations Programme at the 31st Toronto International Film Festival being held from September 7  16 this year.
The Toronto selectors have described ÂKabul Express as ÂAn important breakthrough for India CinemaÂ. The film will hold its world premiere at the red carpet presentation for ÂArtistic And Daring Cinema From Around The WorldÂ. ÂKabul Express is set in post 9/11 war torn Kabul.
It brings together John Abraham and Arshad Warsi as TV Journalists who go to Kabul in search of the ultimate news coup  meeting the Taliban. This is the first international feature film to have been entirely shot in post Taliban Afghanistan. ÂThe country was not just a location for filming; it was a character in the film, signs off Kabir Khan.
