    • Trivia
      Danny had to abuse Raj Kapoor for a scene. He did not feel comfortable so he wanted to touch Raj Kapoor's feet when Raj arrived on the sets. When Raj arrived , Danny went to touch his feet Raj Kapoor pulled away. This angered Danny and he swore never ever again would he do such a thing to anyone. He felt humilated. When the scene was canned Raj Kapoor hugged Danny and told him he wanted real anger and hatred from him in that scene. Thats why he pulled back his feet. To get a natural performance from Danny. Had Danny been in awe of him, the scene would not be impactful.

    A brilliant movie, with a different sysnopsis

    Personally, I think this movie is absolutely brilliant. Hindi movies have the usual theme of Romance story lines, which gets boring. This movie has to be given a good score due to the director using a different storyline.

    Abdullah is about a honest and kind Muslim in persia. The story starts when a hindu pregnant mother is attacked by dacoits looting in the area. Just before the pregnant mother dies, abdullah finds her in the desert, in labour. He helps her give birth to a boy.

    Abdullah has to fight oppression and torture as he tries to bring up the boy as a hindu where the majority are muslims.

    The rest you must watch!
