Ya Rab

<p>Ikram ( ) is a practicing Muslim living happily with his family in Lucknow. His brother, Maulana Jilani ( ), is a much respected Muslim face. Having a huge following, the maulana gets his followers out of trouble with the authorities, thus adding to his power. But the maulana’s intentions are not what they seem to be. He has a sinister side to him, that of inciting mobs and spreading terrorism. He specialises in choosing boys for suicide bombing missions and brainwashes them in various ways, including showing them films of atrocities against Muslims. On the tail of the maulana is the ATS cop, Rann Vijay Singh ( ), who has information that something is slated to happen in Lucknow on a certain date. Khan’s love life has been shattered after his Muslim fiancée learnt that her brother is also a terrorist. She decides to atone for him by not marrying. Gradually, Ran Vijay has zeroed in on the maulana and worked out that a suicide bomber will destroy a crowded mall in the city. He makes it to the mall, only to see the bomb going off. The bomb blast will haunt the maulana, as one of the victims is his brother’s pregnant daughter-in-law, Amreen ( ). Ran Vijay’a hopes rested on her since she was seen talking to the bomber before it went off, which meant she knew him. She is the only witness to the bombing, but she is brain-dead. While the surgeon Dr.Mazhar ( ) wants to keep her alive till the doctors can bring the child out of her, the maulana makes all the efforts to kill her, including threatening Dr.Mazhar with mob violence and the destruction of his hospital. Jamiat Ulama-e-Maharashtra filed a before against the release of the movie. Later, the Bombay High Court permitted release of Ya Rab of 7 February 2014 without controversial scenes and dialogues. The film was released on 7 February 2014.</p>
