Kabul Express

Kabul Express is a Bollywood movie that was released on December 15, 2006. The film stars John Abraham, Arshad Warsi, Pakistani actor Salman Shahid, Afghani actor Hanif Hum Ghum and American actress Linda Arsenio. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films and is directed by documentary film maker Kabir Khan.

Kabul Express is the first feature film for director Kabir Khan who has made several documentaries over the years in Afghanistan. According to him Kabul Express is loosely based on his and his friend Rajan Kapoor's experiences in post-taliban Afghanistan.

Kabul Express is the story of five individuals linked by hate and fear, but brought together by fate to finally recognize each other. Five people from different worlds, their paths are destined to cross in a ruthless country devastated by war – Afghanistan.

Post 9/11 the Americans have bombed Afghanistan which was once under the control of the Taliban. The survivors of the old regime are trying to escape to avoid the wrath of the Afghans. At great risk Suhel Khan (John Abraham) and Jai Kapoor (Arshad Warsi), two Indian television reporters enter Afghanistan with one dangerous aim, to get an interview with a Taliban soldier. Helping them in their pursuit of a Talibani is their Afghan guide, translator and driver, Khyber (Hanif Hum Ghum) in his Toyota Jeep called Kabul Express. They soon come across Jessica Beckham (Linda Arsenio) who is a photo journalist.

Their road trip becomes hell when the two journalists are kidnapped at gunpoint by a Pakistani soldier who was once part of the Taliban regime. The soldier called Imran (Salman Shahid) orders them to drive him to the Pakistani-Afghan border. Jessica is soon captured by Imran after she mistakenly follows the jeep thinking that the journalists have found a huge story. The film follows the next 48 hours of the five individuals.

As the film unfolds, a special relationship develops between an Afghan, a Pakistani, two Indians and an American.
