For some inexplicable reason, Hindi cinema has cautiously steered away from exploring the Muslim milieu. The few films that have done so in the recent past have only reinforced stereotypes. As a result, Islamophobia has only gained momentum.

Ya Rab then, despite all its technical flaws, takes a fresh look at this subject. The first half sees more action — set in a linear format — than one can handle, whereas the second half delivers a knockout punch.
