loveguych I amazed with Hindu devotional song used in background.It reminds that all god are same one and only but we pray at differently.I have seen good movie, second to About Elly. Good movie. must watch.It pictured day to day life of Afghan women.It induce lot of inner questions like Dr. in this film.Why should all happen for that people? why they can not like others in this world? Director & lead charter in this story done marvelous work.All charter brings the really in their face.I love background music , really fantastic.

amb5-1 A poster wrote "There is one remarkable scene wherein hordes of desperate, one-legged men hobble on crutches across the desert as Red Cross helicopters rain prosthetic limbs down onto the sands below". Well, the scene was total B***S***! The Red Cross has worked in Afghanistan for nearly 30 years and for probably half that time has had the world's largest orthopaedic programme. Each and every limb is made to fit for each person and then there are weeks of rehabilitation in one of the many well equipped orthopaedic centres around the country after the limb has been fitted. There is no need to buy and sell them on the black market because they are free of charge to anyone who needs one. Always have been and always will be. There is also no way on earth that the Red Cross ortho programme has ever been run out of tents in the desert and absolutely no way the Red Cross ever dropped double prosthetics out of helicopters or planes. The entire scene is an insult to the Red Cross. And before you howl me down I have been working in Afghanistan and have seen the work done by the Red Cross before, during and after the rule of the Taliban. The writer, producers and directors should be ashamed of themselves.

Quankers I've probably seen worse movies than Kandahar but none that have garnered such rave reviews. The subject matter is certainly intriguing, as well as the promise of a semi-documentary, semi-fictional story. However Return to Kandahar is simply a bad example of either "genre." This film is simply poorly made and I would caution all to avoid it like a landmine. However if you wish to see it, I will prepare you for what awaits. Terrible actors delivering stilted dialogue repeating arbitrary information ad naseum, a set up that is repeatedly brought up throughout the movie and never delivered upon, and random subtitles, some of which are literally on for less than a 10th of a second. Not because some movies have subtitles that just go too fast for a person to read, but clearly because of sloppy editing that was never cleaned up.It is the setting of this film that people must be raving about. If the same film maker had told a similar story in Canada, about a woman traveling from Toronto to Prince Rupert, and used the same terrible film making, it would not have even made it to the bottom shelf of a 99 cent video store. It's 2001, Afghanistan, where any credibility for this film exists.

mvharish1985 I do not know if anyone else over here has realised this or not. Probably, may not be, because most of the people I found here were from either the US or UK or other Westerners.If you listen to the song which they play once in a while in this movie, it will match the following lyrics:Thwannaama Keerthana Rathaah Thava Divya Naama Gaayanthi Bhakthi Rasa Paana Prahrushta Chiththaah Daathum Krupaasahitha Darshanamaashu Thebhyah Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan Thava Suprabhatham(Meaning in English: Devotees engrossed in singing Thy Glory are happy and blissful, when they taste the nectar of devotion. Kindly shower Thy Grace by granting them Thy Darshan. O Lord Sathya Sai! Blessed by Thy wakefulness, we pray for an auspicious day.)Aadhaaya Divya Kusumaani Manoharaani Sreepaada Poojana Vidhim Bhavadanghri Mooley Karthum Mahothsukathayaa Pravishanti Bhakthaah Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan Thava Suprabhatham(Meaning: Bringing holy flowers with captivating colors and fragrance, for worshipping Thy Lotus Feet, in the form as prescribed by the scriptures, Thy devotees are coming in, with great yearning and enthusiasm. O Lord Sathya Sai! Blessed by Thy wakefulness, we pray for an auspicious day.)This as you might see is a verse from a song in Sanskrit in praise of a Hindu god! This is not a bloody Afghani song. This does not have any connection to Afghanistan and neither does it make any sense in the situations where it has been used in this movie. This again shows the amateurishness of this movie, apart from the crappy acting, etc. There hasn't been any research done before even attempting to take such a movie and that is quite alarming!The above song btw is is called Sri Satya Sai Suprbhatham and probably almost every Hindu in India would have heard this song! I do not understand how it did find its way into an Afghani movie!! Couldn't the movie makers apply some common sense b4 stealing a song which they thought would be cool to have in the backdrop???
