After “Wanted”, Salman is hot as ever. Eros, the DVD distributor, bankrolled this mega budget period action movie. This is Salman’s dream project for 20 years. And he wrote it himself. The story is inspired by an old Russian novel.
Imagine “300″ meet “Troy” meet “Gladiator” meet “Howard’s End” meet Bollywood musical.
It’s all here. The action is sometime bloody violent, sometimes over the top, sometimes unintentionally funny – I mean Salman can ALMOST FLY!!! like Hrithik in Krrish or Dhoom2. They have these big budget action scene with hundreds of actors and horses and train and Salman flying on wires!! doing somersauts (like the opening Scene in Dhoom2). While it was cool with Hrithik, here with Salman it is just funny!
Don’t get me wrong, I gave “Wanted” 5 stars on Amazon and Salman was GREAT in that movie. Here, he seems to be the big super duper star on this movie. Director Anil Sharma has not had a hit in many many years and probably no A-list Bollywood director or A-list actress wanted to tackle this superstar ego project.
The movie is not all bad. It is Lavishly produced. Die hard Salman fans will like it no matter what.
But sometimes the movie is illy. In the movie Salman is a super killer, great horseman, barbaric tribesman, then he wears a Tuxedo!! and sings and dance and I think plays the piano too!
He goes to England and says oh England is no good blah blah, India has Taj Mahal etc. The blood on his arm in the movie and also on the DVD box looks so fake.
The lead actress looks like she’s Katrina Kaif’s less pretty sister. This movie is interesting as Camp. Too bad they spent a lot of money on this one. Worth a rental or if you’re a die hard Salman fan, maybe a purchase.

We had seen the movie that aired on TNT Febuary 7th, 2009 and really enjoyed it. Searching on Amazon, we found this same title in the “Movie” section on DVD. It is NOT the drama that was aired on TNT. Amazon does not present this product with enough detail to know that it is a documentary of Ben Carson. It is a great video but we still would like to get a copy of the TNT broadcast if they ever release one.

When I first saw this movie on TNT in January 2009 I was so impressed I began an immediate search for a copy to show my adult children and my grandchildren. This movie is so inspiring for school students, for mothers, for any adult who has not had the self-discipline (myself) to do what is necessary to reach important goals. The message is “If Ben Carson could overcome all he overcame–I can do what I need to do.” Now, he did have a few assets – a phenomenal mother; a core belief in God; a willingness to learn; an unusual amount of morality. He certainly deserves all the wonderful things that came into his later life. I could not find the movie in January, so I read several of his books–a good idea even if you see the movie. He has more to offer than the movie could possibly show. This movie may never win a Hollywood oscar, but it is #1 on my list of family movie greats.

In a word: INSPIRING. My six-old son watched this with me. When he saw what young Ben had to go through as a student from his peers and from society, he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “And he STILL wanted to learn?” He got it. And anyone, young or old will to if you watch this great movie. Kimberly Elise’s portrayal of Sonya Carson brought tears to my eyes, but I never felt sorry for her. Without a lot of explanation, you knew she had a hard life but she was no one’s victim. She did what had to be done whether it be pushing her sons academically or checking herself into a hospital to help deal with her depression (when mental illness was still taboo). Ben’s mother was the real hero of this story and her son’s achievements are the result of her love, sacrifice and deep faith in believing her children could be anything, despite what label society tried to lay on them. This movie is a great excuse buster!

If there were TEN stars this one would get it. I’ve never seen a movie with Mr Gooding in that he did not do an excellent job, but this surpasses them all. Yes-inspirational. For kids of ALL ages 5-105, finally!
