The film is about the difficult situation in which the Pakistanis in particular and the Muslims in general are caught up since 9/11. There is a war going on between the Fundamentalists and the Liberal Muslims. This situation is creating a drift not only between the Western world and the Muslims, but also within the Muslims. The educated and modern Muslims are in a difficult situation because of their approach towards life and their western attire. They are criticized and harassed by the fundamentalists and on the other hand the Western world sees them as potential suspects of terrorism just because of their Muslim names.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the best films in the Pakistani film industry Plot: the story is about three friends whose lives are influenced and affected by Islam.Flaws: there are absolutely no flaws it is an excellent movie.Music: excellent Acting: Shaan Shahid is excellent. Fawad Khan is good it may seem that at some places it may not live up to the mark but you could see he was putting great effort into it. Iman Ali is most effective. Her ascent, tone, expressions make you move with her character. Naseeruddin Shah is outstanding in his small role when he is in the scene you completely forget your surroundings and are sucked into the movie.Overall this is an excellent movie and one of the best films in the Pakistan film industry.

Everything is awesome acting, music, screen play, dialogues, cinematography, and last but not least direction... Hats off to Shoaib Mansoor for giving the gift of hope to the whole nation. The try alone would have made me give this movie a maximum rating. What has been achieved cannot be accredited by 5 stars. The rating should be something like 10 out of 5. Rather than reading this review, you should be investing your time in watching this movie right away at the cinema. Watching once, wont be enough. Watch it again and again.Hats off to Shoaib Mansoor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm virtually a film critic and watch almost all the good and bad movies that fly by my eye. I have to say this is one of the best movies I have ever seen, it clearly depicts how each person has a different perspective and we all need to understand each others way of thinking before making decisions. Thanks to the whole team of Khuda kay liye for such a brilliant movie!!!! I recommend this movie to each and every person who believes in equality, humanity and a free world!! Do watch this movie and spread a word across this is a must watch. Also, hats off to the people of Pakistan for appreciating the beauty of this movie.

this is a great movie. but unfortunately some fans have no other way to appreciate this great movie other than comparing it with movies from India and calling Indian Cinema as "crap from across the border". Whoever wrote is the dumbest and most ignorant film critic ever. But that apart let me talk about a few others who think this is a triumph of Pakistan over India. The Muslim rulers of India during the Sultanate and Mughal periods were not common men and Muslims and Hindus were there subjects alike for all those years. All common men of Pakistan did not rule India for 1000 yrs. If some dumb ass says that then it also means that Indian Hindus ruled the landmass that is Pakistan for the rest of the 5000 yrs which is the age of Indian Civiilization. I would also like to point to the song based on the Tilak Kamod Raag: "Neer Bharan" it is essentially about the love and frolic of Lord Krishna and Radhika. In the movie a Muslim guy from Pakistan sings the song. My point here is not to prove the triumph of India or Hinduism...it is simply that India and Pakistan are simply part of a larger whole...we are the same people...what is ours we are ready to share...and we in India are ready to see similar behavior from across the border...respect, love and friendship alone can heal the damage that has been done on both sides...so let us not term each other as from "across the border" at least when talking about art and creativity. It really undermines such great works. I hope all will realize this.
