John Mathew Mathan's film on cross border terrorism had Naseeruddin Shah playing a ghazal singer who was also a secret ISI agent. Aamir played ACP Rathod who is a righteous cop whose family goes through trials after his brother is killed by a terrorist group. The film dealt with the strain relationship that India and Pakistan shares but the entire issue was dealt in the most realistic manner. There was no chest thumping screaming jargons about mother land, there was no bashing of the neighbouring country and yet the emotions of righteous police officer out to nail the dreaded spy was portrayed subtly yet beautifully.
