Abhishek Bachchan & Kareena Kapoor's debut
Coming from J P Dutta - whose last release Border was a smash hit - the film increases the hope. It is also the launchpad for Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor, the two rising star Children of superstars who are expected to shine on the Bollywood sky in the years to come.
Like his earlier Border, Dutta's Refugee has at its centre the division line that separates India and Pakistan. Only, while Border dealt with the mutual animosity by a Pakistani attempt to intrude upon Indian territory and the ensuing battle of Longewaala, Refugee takes a human look at the fate on both sides who were rudely unsettled from their own soil on the basis of creed and religion, owing to the very political act of Partition.
Thematically speaking Refugee is a love story set in the times of war. Abhishek and Kareena play the torn lovers whose love story must survive the travails of Partition. Does their romance survive the partition? Like all his previous ventures, Dutta is keeping the end of the affair a closely-guarded secret this time too.
It has been found that Youthful romance under circumstantial resistance has always been a favourite theme with Bollywood filmmakers. The formula has never failed to send the cash boxes ringing.
Music director Anu Malik has also come up with a good music after long time. The melodious music song Panchhi, nadiya, pawan ke jhoke is a top chart hit. -
