'''''Kurbaan''''' ({{translation|Sacrificed}}) is a 2009 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[action thriller film]] directed by [[Rensil D'Silva]] and produced by [[Karan Johar]] under [[Dharma Productions]]. It is based on a story by Johar who co-wrote the screenplay with D'Silva. Starring [[Saif Ali Khan]] and [[Kareena Kapoor]], the story revolves around Avantika Ahuja (Kapoor), a psychology professor in New York who returns to Delhi, India to caretake her ailing father and develops a relationship with Ehsaan (Khan). Avantika and Ehsaan fall in love, get married, and leave for the [[United States]], where she discovers that his family is linked to [[Islamic terrorism|Islamic terrorist groups]] after witnessing the [[house arrest]], [[Domestic violence|domestic abuse]] and murder of now family member Salma ([[Nauheed Cyrusi]]). The film's backdrop on [[Terrorism|global terrorism]] forms the crux.

The original story was conceptualized by Johar, who wanted D'Silva to direct it. In his directorial debut, D'Silva framed the script through the lens of the female protagonist, the romance between Khan and Kapoor, the thriller element, and a social message. The film was shot across [[Philadelphia]], [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City]], [[Delhi]] and [[Mumbai]] between January 2009 to June 2009.

The background score and soundtrack album are composed by the duo [[Salim–Sulaiman]]. The song sequences were choreographed by [[Vaibhavi Merchant]]. [[Anurag Kashyap]] and lyricist [[Niranjan Iyengar]] have penned the dialogues.

The film received positive reviews from critics, especially the direction, screenplay, music, and performances by Khan, Kapoor and [[Kirron Kher]]. However, it was declared a flop by ''Box Office India''. Despite the film's commercial failure, the music of the film was nominated for several awards, including the [[Filmfare Awards]], where [[Salim Merchant]] and [[Sonu Nigam]] were nominated for the [[Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer]] for "Shukran Allah". Also, Kapoor was nominated for the [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress]] for her performance in the film.

==Plot==
Avantika Ahuja, a psychology professor living in the United States, returns to [[Delhi]] after her father falls ill. While in Delhi, she meets Ehsaan Khan, a university professor from [[Mumbai]]; the two become friends and fall in love. Avantika receives an intimation to return to work in the United States. Ehsaan readily agrees to emigrate for her. The couple are married and living in America. Avantika helps Ehsaan in getting a job, and he is appointed as a professor to teach "Islam and the Modern World" at the same university. The pair live a happy life in a quiet suburb populated by many South Asian families.

Salma, Avantika's neighbour, is effectively being confined in her own home by her husband, Hakil. She manages to inform Avantika about her situation of house arrest and requests her to contact Rehana, a friend and TV reporter. Avantika meets with Rehana and her boyfriend Riyaz, a Muslim American journalist who has just arrived from [[Iraq]]. They discuss Salma's problem to conclude that Salma is probably the victim of domestic violence. Rehana plans a meeting with Salma, but is unable to meet her since she is leaving for Iraq, as part of a United Nations envoy.

Meanwhile, Avantika is overjoyed when she finds out that she is pregnant. While waiting for Ehsaan, she takes a walk around her street close to her home. Overhearing voices, she decides to investigate and finds out that a group of men from her neighborhood, led by the family elder Bhaijaan, are planning a mission. They aim to bomb the plane that Rehana is travelling in, since it is carrying a large group of diplomats and media personnel. Avantika realises they are part of a terrorist group and also comes across Salma's dead body. The men see her and chase her to her house, where she meets Ehsaan. At first, he consoles her, but soon reveals that he is also a part of the terrorist group. Avantika realizes that she is nothing but a pawn in Ehsaan's game - he married her to legitimately obtain [[Permanent residence (United States)|residency]] in the United States.

Bhaijaan asks Ehsaan to kill Avantika since she is now a liability, but after learning that she is pregnant, Ehsaan decides not to. Ehsaan keeps Avantika captive in their home and threatens to kill her father in India if she tries to inform anyone of what she knows. Avantika manages to make a phone call, and calls Rehana in order to warn her. The call goes to voice mail, and it is too late; Rehana has already boarded the flight, and the bomb has already been planted. The plane explodes, killing Rehana and all others on board.

A heartbroken Riyaz finds Avantika's voice message for Rehana, and begins his own quest to uncover the real culprits behind the flight bombing. Going undercover, Riyaz joins Ehsaan's lectures and soon befriends him. Avantika and the other wives of the group are watched over by Aapa, Bhaijaan's wife. Aapa explains the reasons for Jihad to Avantika, and also reveals that Ehsaan was an [[Pashtuns|Afghani]] man with no political ideology, until his first wife and son were killed by American bombs. Riyaz engages in a passionate debate with other students regarding the topic of Islam, and Ehsaan is impressed. While trying to dispose of Salma's decomposing body, Hakil and Ehsaan attract the attention of the police. Ehsaan kills Hakil and the surrounding policemen, and sets the car on fire. Salma's partially burnt body is found, and the FBI distributes pictures of her in order to learn her identity.

Ehsaan finds Riyaz to be a perfect replacement for Hakil. He introduces him to Bhaijaan, who is initially suspicious of the new recruit. He tests Riyaz by ordering him to shoot at a random man serving at a fast food counter. Riyaz is reluctant but follows through; however, it turns out there was no bullet in the gun, thus leaving the man unharmed. Having passed the test, Ehsaan makes Riyaz a part of their next mission to bomb several subway stations in New York.

Riyaz and Avantika begin to work together to foil the plan and bring down the terrorist group. Riyaz sets up a meeting with the FBI for the next day, but his plan is derailed when one of the men sees Salma's picture, and Bhaijaan decides to bring the date of the mission forward.

The group goes ahead with their plan - the women travel together with Aapa, and the men have three bombs between them, to be detonated at separate stations. While on the subway, Riyaz's colleague bumps into him and accidentally reveals his real identity to Ehsaan and Bhaijaan. Riyaz tries to escape and, in the chaos, shoots Bhaijaan. Before dying, Bhaijaan informs Ehsaan that there are three more bombs, which were placed in the bags of the women, unknown to them. One bomb is with Avantika, who is being escorted by Aapa, with the other women. Realising that both Avantika and his unborn child will die, Ehsaan decides to let Riyaz go, and sets out to find Avantika.

Riyaz informs the FBI of the situation, and they rush to each station, trying to find both the men and women. They are able to safely retrieve the explosives from the women, while the men detonate their bombs. Ehsaan kills Aapa in order to free Avantika, and he admits that he loves her and asks her to take care of their child. Ehsaan manages to disarm the last bomb, but is fatally wounded as he escapes from three policemen who were chasing him. Before leaving, Avantika asks Ehsaan what his real name is, which he reveals to be Khalid. As she leaves the train, she hears the gunshot of Ehsaan killing himself.

=== Costumes ===
;Kareena Kapoor<ref name=":02">{{Cite web|title=Designer Akki Narula on dressing Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in Kurbaan|url=https://movies.rediff.com/slide-show/2009/nov/17/slide-show-1-interview-with-akki-narula.htm|access-date=2021-01-30|website=Rediff|language=en|archive-date=28 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128180906/http://movies.rediff.com/slide-show/2009/nov/17/slide-show-1-interview-with-akki-narula.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
[[Aki Narula]] discussed with D'Silva on the screenplay and locales to design the costumes. As he knew filming schedules in Delhi around October (winter season), he researched the different styles by going to the colleges, canteens, and the local markets. For Kapoor, he designed full sleeve t-shirts with V-necks and dark-colored ankle-length [[churidar]]s with [[Embroidery of India|Jaipuri work]], [[Mojari|mojri]] and scarves. Her costumes featured rust, burgundy, olive green, blue and purple colors, as observed during the Delhi University scenes. Accessories worn were [[Silver oxide|silver oxidized]] jewels. In the track "Shukran Allah", Kapoor's [[salwar]] was of 60 metres of fabric. As the plot progresses to the U.S., Narula kept the leads' outfits with the ideology that "when traveling abroad, you'd carry some clothes with you". He avoided designing or collaborating with U.S. brands to keep the transitions real. Additionally, Narula gave her [[Zara (retailer)|Zara]] trench coats, jeans, and track pants, while sporting her [[Om|sacred]] pendant. Towards the terror plot, she dons more of grey, blue, and blacks costumes.

;Saif Ali Khan<ref name=":02" />
Narula kept Khan's costumes simple with jeans and shirts in blue, grey, and green with V-neck sweaters apart from [[Pathani suit|pathani kurtas]] with jeans. After moving to the U.S. too, his outfits introduced were long jackets in blue and grey. During the terror scenes, he was made to wear darker colors in leather. Johar, D'Silva, and Narula decided that a stubble or beard gives grittiness to the character. Hence, Khan is seen unshaven.

;Om Puri, Kirron Kher, Vivek Oberoi, Dia Mirza<ref name=":02" />
Puri was given suit vests to don throughout the film. Intentionally, all his pathani kurtas were washed by a ''[[dhobi]]'' to get the worn look, which he noticed. Kher received long tunic, long skirts, and shawls wrapped around her head to justify her as an Afghan. She was very involved with her outfits. She had her ideas that she shared with Narula and worked together on her looks. Oberoi was given a lot of dark jeans, t-shirts, sweaters, wind cheaters in navy blue, grey, olive green, and black leather jackets, all from [[Zara (retailer)|Zara]] and [[H&M]], while Mirza was given short skirts with jackets and work bags, in black formal work outfits.<ref name=":02" />

The original score and soundtrack for the film were composed by [[Salim–Sulaiman]]. Salim Merchant agreed that the songs have a Sufi touch in them, as requested by Johar.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|title=Salim-Suleiman: Scoring for Kurbaan|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/slide-show-1-interview-with-salim-suleiman/20091123.htm|access-date=2021-01-30|website=Rediff|language=en}}</ref> The duo were approached while they were composing the now-shelved ''[[Koochie Koochie Hota Hai]]''.<ref name=":3" /> However, the composers were focused on the original score. Merchant pointed out that "Shukran Allah" was based on Khan's character where he is paying gratitude to God for giving him the love of this life.<ref name=":3" /> The Arabic lines translate to, 'Thank You, [[God in Islam|Allah]], and All the Praise in this World is For You'. Originally a prayer, the composers decided to turn it into a love song.<ref name=":3" /> As per Merchant, "Ali Maula" was a chanting kind of song, sung by him. When they composed the song, they were unsure of its fitment in any film. They played it to Johar and D'Silva, who approved it for ''Kurbaan''. In an interview with [[Radio Mirchi]], Kapoor called the track as the turning point of the film.<ref name=":4" /> Sulaiman Merchant called the track "Rasiya" as 'passionate', a song picturised on an intimate scene between Khan and Kapoor.<ref name=":3" /> Being pictured on a married couple, they kept maturity in the composition keeping a balance of sensuality.<ref name=":3" />

The soundtrack released to mixed-to-positive reviews. Critic Ruchika Kher of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' assigned the album score of 3.5 out of 5 and stated: "On the whole, the album is worth checking out.

It is based on a story by Johar who co-wrote the screenplay with D'Silva. Starring [[Saif Ali Khan]] and [[Kareena Kapoor]], the story revolves around Avantika Ahuja (Kapoor), a psychology professor in New York who returns to Delhi, India to caretake her ailing father and develops a relationship with Ehsaan (Khan). Avantika and Ehsaan fall in love, get married, and leave for the [[United States]], where she discovers that his family is linked to [[Islamic terrorism|Islamic terrorist groups]] after witnessing the [[house arrest]], [[Domestic violence|domestic abuse]] and murder of now family member Salma ([[Nauheed Cyrusi]]). The film's backdrop on [[Terrorism|global terrorism]] forms the crux. The original story was conceptualized by Johar, who wanted D'Silva to direct it. In his directorial debut, D'Silva framed the script through the lens of the female protagonist, the romance between Khan and Kapoor, the thriller element, and a social message. The film was shot across [[Philadelphia]], [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City]], [[Delhi]] and [[Mumbai]] between January 2009 to June 2009. The background score and soundtrack album are composed by the duo [[Salim–Sulaiman]]. The song sequences were choreographed by [[Vaibhavi Merchant]]. [[Anurag Kashyap]] and lyricist [[Niranjan Iyengar]] have penned the dialogues. The film received positive reviews from critics, especially the direction, screenplay, music, and performances by Khan, Kapoor and [[Kirron Kher]]. However, it was declared a flop by ''Box Office India''. Despite the film's commercial failure, the music of the film was nominated for several awards, including the [[Filmfare Awards]], where [[Salim Merchant]] and [[Sonu Nigam]] were nominated for the [[Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer]] for "Shukran Allah". Also, Kapoor was nominated for the [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress]] for her performance in the film. ==Plot== Avantika Ahuja, a psychology professor living in the United States, returns to [[Delhi]] after her father falls ill. While in Delhi, she meets Ehsaan Khan, a university professor from [[Mumbai]]; the two become friends and fall in love. Avantika receives an intimation to return to work in the United States. Ehsaan readily agrees to emigrate for her. The couple are married and living in America. Avantika helps Ehsaan in getting a job, and he is appointed as a professor to teach "Islam and the Modern World" at the same university. The pair live a happy life in a quiet suburb populated by many South Asian families. Salma, Avantika's neighbour, is effectively being confined in her own home by her husband, Hakil. She manages to inform Avantika about her situation of house arrest and requests her to contact Rehana, a friend and TV reporter. Avantika meets with Rehana and her boyfriend Riyaz, a Muslim American journalist who has just arrived from [[Iraq]]. They discuss Salma's problem to conclude that Salma is probably the victim of domestic violence. Rehana plans a meeting with Salma, but is unable to meet her since she is leaving for Iraq, as part of a United Nations envoy. Meanwhile, Avantika is overjoyed when she finds out that she is pregnant. While waiting for Ehsaan, she takes a walk around her street close to her home. Overhearing voices, she decides to investigate and finds out that a group of men from her neighborhood, led by the family elder Bhaijaan, are planning a mission. They aim to bomb the plane that Rehana is travelling in, since it is carrying a large group of diplomats and media personnel. Avantika realises they are part of a terrorist group and also comes across Salma's dead body. The men see her and chase her to her house, where she meets Ehsaan. At first, he consoles her, but soon reveals that he is also a part of the terrorist group. Avantika realizes that she is nothing but a pawn in Ehsaan's game - he married her to legitimately obtain [[Permanent residence (United States)|residency]] in the United States. Bhaijaan asks Ehsaan to kill Avantika since she is now a liability, but after learning that she is pregnant, Ehsaan decides not to. Ehsaan keeps Avantika captive in their home and threatens to kill her father in India if she tries to inform anyone of what she knows. Avantika manages to make a phone call, and calls Rehana in order to warn her. The call goes to voice mail, and it is too late; Rehana has already boarded the flight, and the bomb has already been planted. The plane explodes, killing Rehana and all others on board. A heartbroken Riyaz finds Avantika's voice message for Rehana, and begins his own quest to uncover the real culprits behind the flight bombing. Going undercover, Riyaz joins Ehsaan's lectures and soon befriends him. Avantika and the other wives of the group are watched over by Aapa, Bhaijaan's wife. Aapa explains the reasons for Jihad to Avantika, and also reveals that Ehsaan was an [[Pashtuns|Afghani]] man with no political ideology, until his first wife and son were killed by American bombs. Riyaz engages in a passionate debate with other students regarding the topic of Islam, and Ehsaan is impressed. While trying to dispose of Salma's decomposing body, Hakil and Ehsaan attract the attention of the police. Ehsaan kills Hakil and the surrounding policemen, and sets the car on fire. Salma's partially burnt body is found, and the FBI distributes pictures of her in order to learn her identity. Ehsaan finds Riyaz to be a perfect replacement for Hakil. He introduces him to Bhaijaan, who is initially suspicious of the new recruit. He tests Riyaz by ordering him to shoot at a random man serving at a fast food counter. Riyaz is reluctant but follows through; however, it turns out there was no bullet in the gun, thus leaving the man unharmed. Having passed the test, Ehsaan makes Riyaz a part of their next mission to bomb several subway stations in New York. Riyaz and Avantika begin to work together to foil the plan and bring down the terrorist group. Riyaz sets up a meeting with the FBI for the next day, but his plan is derailed when one of the men sees Salma's picture, and Bhaijaan decides to bring the date of the mission forward. The group goes ahead with their plan - the women travel together with Aapa, and the men have three bombs between them, to be detonated at separate stations. While on the subway, Riyaz's colleague bumps into him and accidentally reveals his real identity to Ehsaan and Bhaijaan. Riyaz tries to escape and, in the chaos, shoots Bhaijaan. Before dying, Bhaijaan informs Ehsaan that there are three more bombs, which were placed in the bags of the women, unknown to them. One bomb is with Avantika, who is being escorted by Aapa, with the other women. Realising that both Avantika and his unborn child will die, Ehsaan decides to let Riyaz go, and sets out to find Avantika. Riyaz informs the FBI of the situation, and they rush to each station, trying to find both the men and women. They are able to safely retrieve the explosives from the women, while the men detonate their bombs. Ehsaan kills Aapa in order to free Avantika, and he admits that he loves her and asks her to take care of their child.

As he knew filming schedules in Delhi around October (winter season), he researched the different styles by going to the colleges, canteens, and the local markets. For Kapoor, he designed full sleeve t-shirts with V-necks and dark-colored ankle-length [[churidar]]s with [[Embroidery of India|Jaipuri work]], [[Mojari|mojri]] and scarves. Her costumes featured rust, burgundy, olive green, blue and purple colors, as observed during the Delhi University scenes. Accessories worn were [[Silver oxide|silver oxidized]] jewels. In the track "Shukran Allah", Kapoor's [[salwar]] was of 60 metres of fabric. As the plot progresses to the U.S., Narula kept the leads' outfits with the ideology that "when traveling abroad, you'd carry some clothes with you". He avoided designing or collaborating with U.S. brands to keep the transitions real. Additionally, Narula gave her [[Zara (retailer)|Zara]] trench coats, jeans, and track pants, while sporting her [[Om|sacred]] pendant. Towards the terror plot, she dons more of grey, blue, and blacks costumes. ;Saif Ali Khan<ref name=":02" /> Narula kept Khan's costumes simple with jeans and shirts in blue, grey, and green with V-neck sweaters apart from [[Pathani suit|pathani kurtas]] with jeans. After moving to the U.S. too, his outfits introduced were long jackets in blue and grey. During the terror scenes, he was made to wear darker colors in leather. Johar, D'Silva, and Narula decided that a stubble or beard gives grittiness to the character. Hence, Khan is seen unshaven. ;Om Puri, Kirron Kher, Vivek Oberoi, Dia Mirza<ref name=":02" /> Puri was given suit vests to don throughout the film. Intentionally, all his pathani kurtas were washed by a ''[[dhobi]]'' to get the worn look, which he noticed. Kher received long tunic, long skirts, and shawls wrapped around her head to justify her as an Afghan. She was very involved with her outfits. She had her ideas that she shared with Narula and worked together on her looks. Oberoi was given a lot of dark jeans, t-shirts, sweaters, wind cheaters in navy blue, grey, olive green, and black leather jackets, all from [[Zara (retailer)|Zara]] and [[H&M]], while Mirza was given short skirts with jackets and work bags, in black formal work outfits.<ref name=":02" /> === Filming === Principal photography commenced in November 2008 in [[Philadelphia]].<ref name=":2" /> A set was erected to shoot the replica of a terrorist attack.<ref name=":2" /> The subway tube scene was shot underground where the train was hired.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2009-11-26|title=Need to ask factual, not emotional, questions|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/need-to-ask-factual-not-emotional-questions/|access-date=2021-02-06|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref> Khan noted the cold weather conditions to an added difficulty in getting the pitch and tone right while delivering dialogues.

It is based on a story by Johar who co-wrote the screenplay with D'Silva. Starring [[Saif Ali Khan]] and [[Kareena Kapoor]], the story revolves around Avantika Ahuja (Kapoor), a psychology professor in New York who returns to Delhi, India to caretake her ailing father and develops a relationship with Ehsaan (Khan). Avantika and Ehsaan fall in love, get married, and leave for the [[United States]], where she discovers that his family is linked to [[Islamic terrorism|Islamic terrorist groups]] after witnessing the [[house arrest]], [[Domestic violence|domestic abuse]] and murder of now family member Salma ([[Nauheed Cyrusi]]). The film's backdrop on [[Terrorism|global terrorism]] forms the crux. + +The original story was conceptualized by Johar, who wanted D'Silva to direct it. In his directorial debut, D'Silva framed the script through the lens of the female protagonist, the romance between Khan and Kapoor, the thriller element, and a social message. The film was shot across [[Philadelphia]], [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City]], [[Delhi]] and [[Mumbai]] between January 2009 to June 2009. + +The background score and soundtrack album are composed by the duo [[Salim–Sulaiman]]. The song sequences were choreographed by [[Vaibhavi Merchant]]. [[Anurag Kashyap]] and lyricist [[Niranjan Iyengar]] have penned the dialogues. + +The film received positive reviews from critics, especially the direction, screenplay, music, and performances by Khan, Kapoor and [[Kirron Kher]]. However, it was declared a flop by ''Box Office India''. Despite the film's commercial failure, the music of the film was nominated for several awards, including the [[Filmfare Awards]], where [[Salim Merchant]] and [[Sonu Nigam]] were nominated for the [[Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer]] for "Shukran Allah". Also, Kapoor was nominated for the [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress]] for her performance in the film. + +==Plot== +Avantika Ahuja, a psychology professor living in the United States, returns to [[Delhi]] after her father falls ill. While in Delhi, she meets Ehsaan Khan, a university professor from [[Mumbai]]; the two become friends and fall in love. Avantika receives an intimation to return to work in the United States. Ehsaan readily agrees to emigrate for her. The couple are married and living in America. Avantika helps Ehsaan in getting a job, and he is appointed as a professor to teach "Islam and the Modern World" at the same university. The pair live a happy life in a quiet suburb populated by many South Asian families. + +Salma, Avantika's neighbour, is effectively being confined in her own home by her husband, Hakil. She manages to inform Avantika about her situation of house arrest and requests her to contact Rehana, a friend and TV reporter. Avantika meets with Rehana and her boyfriend Riyaz, a Muslim American journalist who has just arrived from [[Iraq]]. They discuss Salma's problem to conclude that Salma is probably the victim of domestic violence. Rehana plans a meeting with Salma, but is unable to meet her since she is leaving for Iraq, as part of a United Nations envoy. + +Meanwhile, Avantika is overjoyed when she finds out that she is pregnant. While waiting for Ehsaan, she takes a walk around her street close to her home. Overhearing voices, she decides to investigate and finds out that a group of men from her neighborhood, led by the family elder Bhaijaan, are planning a mission. They aim to bomb the plane that Rehana is travelling in, since it is carrying a large group of diplomats and media personnel. Avantika realises they are part of a terrorist group and also comes across Salma's dead body. The men see her and chase her to her house, where she meets Ehsaan. At first, he consoles her, but soon reveals that he is also a part of the terrorist group. Avantika realizes that she is nothing but a pawn in Ehsaan's game - he married her to legitimately obtain [[Permanent residence (United States)|residency]] in the United States. + +Bhaijaan asks Ehsaan to kill Avantika since she is now a liability, but after learning that she is pregnant, Ehsaan decides not to. Ehsaan keeps Avantika captive in their home and threatens to kill her father in India if she tries to inform anyone of what she knows. Avantika manages to make a phone call, and calls Rehana in order to warn her. The call goes to voice mail, and it is too late; Rehana has already boarded the flight, and the bomb has already been planted. The plane explodes, killing Rehana and all others on board. + +A heartbroken Riyaz finds Avantika's voice message for Rehana, and begins his own quest to uncover the real culprits behind the flight bombing. Going undercover, Riyaz joins Ehsaan's lectures and soon befriends him. Avantika and the other wives of the group are watched over by Aapa, Bhaijaan's wife. Aapa explains the reasons for Jihad to Avantika, and also reveals that Ehsaan was an [[Pashtuns|Afghani]] man with no political ideology, until his first wife and son were killed by American bombs. Riyaz engages in a passionate debate with other students regarding the topic of Islam, and Ehsaan is impressed. While trying to dispose of Salma's decomposing body, Hakil and Ehsaan attract the attention of the police. Ehsaan kills Hakil and the surrounding policemen, and sets the car on fire. Salma's partially burnt body is found, and the FBI distributes pictures of her in order to learn her identity. + +Ehsaan finds Riyaz to be a perfect replacement for Hakil. He introduces him to Bhaijaan, who is initially suspicious of the new recruit. He tests Riyaz by ordering him to shoot at a random man serving at a fast food counter. Riyaz is reluctant but follows through; however, it turns out there was no bullet in the gun, thus leaving the man unharmed. Having passed the test, Ehsaan makes Riyaz a part of their next mission to bomb several subway stations in New York. + +Riyaz and Avantika begin to work together to foil the plan and bring down the terrorist group. Riyaz sets up a meeting with the FBI for the next day, but his plan is derailed when one of the men sees Salma's picture, and Bhaijaan decides to bring the date of the mission forward. + +The group goes ahead with their plan - the women travel together with Aapa, and the men have three bombs between them, to be detonated at separate stations. While on the subway, Riyaz's colleague bumps into him and accidentally reveals his real identity to Ehsaan and Bhaijaan. Riyaz tries to escape and, in the chaos, shoots Bhaijaan. Before dying, Bhaijaan informs Ehsaan that there are three more bombs, which were placed in the bags of the women, unknown to them. One bomb is with Avantika, who is being escorted by Aapa, with the other women. Realising that both Avantika and his unborn child will die, Ehsaan decides to let Riyaz go, and sets out to find Avantika. + +Riyaz informs the FBI of the situation, and they rush to each station, trying to find both the men and women. They are able to safely retrieve the explosives from the women, while the men detonate their bombs. Ehsaan kills Aapa in order to free Avantika, and he admits that he loves her and asks her to take care of their child.

As he knew filming schedules in Delhi around October (winter season), he researched the different styles by going to the colleges, canteens, and the local markets. For Kapoor, he designed full sleeve t-shirts with V-necks and dark-colored ankle-length [[churidar]]s with [[Embroidery of India|Jaipuri work]], [[Mojari|mojri]] and scarves.

As the plot progresses to the U.S., Narula kept the leads' outfits with the ideology that "when traveling abroad, you'd carry some clothes with you". He avoided designing or collaborating with U.S. brands to keep the transitions real.
