Vijay(Sharman Joshi) and Yakub(Faruk Kabir) who are school kids, live in a small village known as "Bhool Bhullaiyya". They earn some money through supplying drugs to places. One day, a incident lands them in Jail where they have to face something they didnt dream of. Their sufferings makes them tough from inside as they come out after 11 years with a mission of getting hold on their village. But, at what cost and whose deaths they are gonna succeed if they would ? Are they wrong in their actions or was the circumstances they go through acceptable? Many such questions are raised in the film.

The main problem the film has that it never hits you for long, there will be many scenes that give a sense that now we are going to see a impactful scene but that doesnt happen. There is a certain lack of power and intensity in the film despite a good idea of Children at War with good performances and writing. 

Maybe the youth could had been edited a bit to increase the scenes in 2nd half and make Vijay's actions justified. Also, there was a certain flaw in writing concerning Usmaan character who takes revenge so late when he could had got it way too early specially the way he does it. 

Faruk Kabir as a debutant director and actor does well. Only that the screenplay could had been made impactful and appealing than it turned out to be. 

Dialogues were good. The signature tune that runs with Yakub's scenes was very good one, it sort of represented his character very well.

Climax was very good and surprising in a way. 

Music was very average, and the good songs arent fully used either. Background score is very good one, though touch loud at some places. 

Scenes like Warden's intentions in Jail, Warden and Vijay in Restaurant, Vijay telling Yakub about love, climax etc makes the film a good watch. 

Among performances, 

Sharman Joshi does a good work. At places, he did look awkward but overall he managed very well. He is even the narrator of the film since the starting to the end.

Faruk Kabir very easily played the role of a high temper person. Though, there was a overdose of style in his mannerisms at times. As a debut, he was good. 

Naseeruddin Shah was flawless in his short role. The restaurant scene was superb one. 

Young Yakub and Vijay children did nice work, Vijay impressed less to me. Yakub was much better.

Atul Kulkarni was a touch over the top in his performance.

Anjana Sukhani was beautiful as always. But her character wasnt written well enough, she falls in love too easily with a person who is way below her standards. 


Overall, Allah Ke Banday suffers due to a less powerful screenplay and offers nothing in terms of entertainment either. Still, its a good watch for some good performances and Faruk Kabir's decent debut as a director.
