After
editing
Rensil
D"Silva"s
debut
film
Kurbaan
has
turned
out
to
be
exactly
2
hours
37
minutes
long.
And
that"s
about
37
minutes
longer
than
the
show
timing,
which
multiplex
theatres
approve
of.
It
feature
real
life
couple
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Kareena
Kapoor
in
the
lead
roles.
Lengthy
films
on
grim
themes
are
at
the
moment
not
quite
the
flavour
of
the
season.
The
poor
response
to
Madhur
Bhandarkar"s
Jail
proves
it.
Rensil
is
unfazed.
“My
film
is
not
grim.
It"s
about
a
serious
global
issue.
But
it
isn"t
a
documentary
on
terrorism.
It"s
designed
as
a
fast-paced
thriller."
Nor
has
the
release
been
timed
to
coincide
with
the
ghastly
terror
attack
on
Mumbai
last
year
on
November
27.
“We"re
coming
on
Friday,
November
20,
not
27.
The
date
was
chosen
according
to
availability
of
space," says
Rensil.
Tense
but
happy,
director
Rensil
D"Silva
is
just
about
wrapped
up
the
post-production
work
of
Kurbaan
and
is
ready
to
take
a
long
break
before
moving
into
his
next
film
which
would
be
a
marked
departure
from
the
theme
of
terrorism
in
Kurbaan.
