It's an epic historical film about the life of the prophet Muhammad. I love this movie! It's great if you love Islamic movies and I highly recommend it."

The Message - #2May 25, 2018"This movie was very interesting because it focuses on youth in the Islamic world rather than politics and adult issues. I believe it would be a good movie for Muslim children to watch as well as non-Muslims to see that culture can be very different than what they expect."

Koran By Heart - #3May 27, 2018"Story is great. Cinematography isn't stellar, production values lacking. No subtitles. Sound unevenly mixed. Diverse cast, stunning story and strong acting performances. Great during Ramadan or anytime."

Iqbal - #5June 7, 2018"Khan was wrongly accused of being a terrorist in the US which was the core of this story. I love the dialogue exchange and how the writer made it a twist in the ending. "

My Name is Khan - #6June 7, 2018"Another star-crossed lovers theme in the movie but it offered a new flavor with this one. A lot of hardships that happened between Veer and Zaara but they overcome it. "

Veer-Zaara - #7June 7, 2018"The search for truth and justice in this film just made it recommendable! Intense scenes with the storylines... this movie deserved its awards!"

Azur & Asmar: The Princes' Quest - #9June 7, 2018"Sarfarosh is one of the long lists of crime injustice but Aamir Khan's portrayal made it justifiable. "
Refering to:
Sarfarosh - #10May 18, 2018"I was not interesting in this movie after watching it for about 30 minutes. The Islamic culture is not for me."
