Khandahar

Picked this movie..the review says plight of a woman in Afghanisthan trying to reach her sister in one of the war ridden towns. Hmm sounded interesting, lately have this liking for movies on wars, conflicts bet west n east, civil wars in Africa watched some really good ones - Hotel Rwanda (real life story in lines with Schindler's list bout this guy who trades his all to save a few lives of his tribe from slaughter.) Paradise Now(tracks the mindset of 2 young Palestinian friends who decide to become human bombs) Syriana (on oil , money n dirty deals of west), Lord of war (how a weapons smuggler thrives on civil wars/disputes across the globe..)

Well lets get back to Khandahar - I was just baffled by Sai Baba n some Hindu holy chantings as background score all thro in a movie based in Afghanisthan. Well am I missing something or the director is just plain ignorant....

Hi,
Yes I guess you miss something here. It is apparent that the director is not ignorant. Do you that Ghandari (wife of blind king) is from Khandahar ?
