Ya Rab (2014) Short Review!!

This is one of those films, which are intended to be novel at heart but just sake of being a Bollywood film it had to turn a serious theme into a pot boiler!! The film starts of with the very talented Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan as an Anti Terrorist Officer trying to uncover a potential Terror Attack, in parallel a typecast Muslim family is celebrating Eid, new characters are introduced every 5 minutes & things are fine till the interval. But then the 2nd half goes haywire leading into cliche Bollywood sequences of the 80s! Its good to see film makers trying to remove the notion that “All Muslims are terrorists” & some of the sequences are very well made. But why couldnt the filmmakers stick to the thriller they intended in the 1st half & avoid the turmoil presented in the 2nd half for example why are ATU agents trying to protect an unborn baby??like why??..Except a few sequences & the performances of Ajaz Khan & Pakistani actor Manzar Sehbai, this film disappoints on so many levels.
