To the new breed of slick, sharp Hindi-film directors, please welcome debutant Rensil D’Silva, who till the other day was best known as the guy who wrote Rang De Basanti .

For once here’s a film that does not feel long despite the two hours and 40 minutes.

And if that’s not enough to get you interested, here’s the clincher. Kurbaan [ Images ] is bloody smart. In its taut screenplay, stylish photography and good performances by the cast, it keeps you engaged, does not insult your intelligence and avoids getting preachy.

And that’s saying a lot for a film by a debutant director.

   What if your husband – the man you love and share a home
   and bed with, turns out to be a terrorist?

   Kurbaan, produced by Karan Johar and directed by Rensil D’Silva, constructs this unimaginably tortured situation and then squanders it. The film has ambition but it is too flawed and simplistic to explore issues like religion, violence and the politics of terrorism with any conviction or gravitas.
