Stay away: Sunny Deol in Kaafila

Kaafila (Hindi)

Director: Amitoj Mann

Cast: Sunny Deol , Sana, Sudesh Berry

Truth be said if Amitoj Mann’s film did not have Sunny Deol among the cast, it would not have found a buyer. Truth be reiterated if the film had been released without huge posters of Deol, it would not have attracted even a handful. Truth be said once and for all, despite Deol it is not a film you should take your worst neighbour to.

Relating the story of illegal migrants who all long to reach Britain and undertake a long torturous journey, travelling across the seas, plains, hills and mountains, the film falls terribly short in execution. The technique is so amateurish that it appears ridiculous. And Deol probably did the film as a favour to Mann, who however, does no favours to the star’s followers by introducing him pretty late into the film. Stay away. The film has neither style nor content.
