Shahid

Firstly, the movie is called SHAAHID (like Afridi – for lack of any other comparison) not SHAHEED (as in martyr).  Just to ensure that there is no confusion on the pronunciation.  Shahid is based on the life and times of one Shahid Azmi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahid_Azmi) – a human rights lawyer who defended several people wrongfully accused of terrorism or related activities.

Saare Jahaan Se Mehenga

Indian cinema has always come up with some very interesting pieces of satire or comedy.  Every once in a while, you get some low budget comedy movies that provide wholesome family entertainment.  You know, the likes of Do Dooni Chaar (Rishi Kapoor & Neetu Singh playing a middle aged couple from Lajpat Nagar) or the more recent Vicky Donor.  You get what I am saying right?
