No idea on Kabul Express.
Black Friday was okay - film delayed for over 2 to 3 years as they didn't want to sway public opinion while trials were underway. Of course such consideration is pretty darn selective.
Kay Kay Menon in Black Friday was only redeeming feature, think someone like Ajay Devgan or Manoj Bajpai might have suited better; otherwise the movie's filled with all new characters (could be a funding issues - imagine the bhai's behind Bollywood putting money on this movie). Movie's based on the book and there's a scene of Dawood residing in Dubai/Pakiland wanting to surrender with some preconditions - this might have been fiction since I've never read anything about him wanting to surrender.
Some comments on other movies:
Traffic Signal: Exposes a huge industry that's thriving at our local traffic signals where beggars, squeege guy, pimps, vendors etc make their living.
As far as Hollywood goes:
Bable (Brad Pitt): Ranks with "Boom" - amongst the worst movie I've seen.
Illusionist : Edward Norton is good, movie okay with an interesting plot.
Queen: Set around the events surrounding Princess Di's death. Like the real queen, should have ignored it.
Night at Museum: Ben Stiller carries the movie.
Departed: Pretty good - lives up to the Martin Scorsese hype. Jack Nicholsan, Matt Damon, Dicaprio have all performed well.
