		The movie brought laurels for Ali bhai and he appeared as a villain in director Munawwar Rasheed's film Bahadur, director Iqbal Yusuf's film Daal mein kala, director Javed Hashmi's film Dil nay tujhay maan liya.
		He was known in the film circle for his command as a passionate actor, he feels at ease in dramatic situations, as well.

	The Hindu News Update Service
		13 (PTI): Saif Ali Khan pulled off a surprise in the National Film Awards, winning the Best Actor Award for his performance in Hindi film `Hum Tum' pipping to the post other strong contenders like Shahrukh Khan, while the mainstream `Page 3' ruled the roost, winning three honours, including the Best Feature Film Award.
		Veteran filmmaker Buddhadeb Dasgupta won the Best Direction Award for the Bengali film `Swapner Din' for his complex handling of the socio-political situation in West Bengal.
		Saif Ali Khan beat other contenders such as Shahrukh Khan (Swades), Vijay Raaz (Hari Om) and Subodhro (Krantikaal) to win the Best Actor Award for his role in the frothy romantic comedy `Hum Tum' for what the jurors described as "his sheer ease, subtlety and spontaneity in portraying a complex and demanding role."

	Film&Chips - le Critiche
		Film imponente anche se non convincente fino in fondo, Alì ha il difetto di celebrare più la bravura del regista Michael Mann (e quella congiunta del protagonista Will Smith) che la debordante personalità del campione biografato.
		Il film di Mann prende appunto l'arco che va tra la prima conquista della cintura (1964) e il grande evento africano, omettendo la terza vittoria del titolo avvenuta nel 1977 e i dolorosi eventi che seguirono.
		Un brutto film, «Io sono il più grande» (1977), di Tom Gries e un magnifico documentario passato fuggevolmente sui nostri schermi, «Quando eravamo re» (1996), di Leon Gast, cronaca del match disputato nello Zaire nel 1974, quando Alì conquistò per la seconda volta il titolo di campione del mondo.

	Amazon.com: DVD: Ali (2001)
		ALI is an interesting biographical film that rests uncomfortably with Ali's political and social impact rather than his athletic impact.
		In this regard the film clearly works better with those who know enough of Ali's life to fill in the pieces (the scene where Ali ane Joe Frazier (James Toney) drive around in a car together planning their first fight was one of the film's few revelations for me).
		Mann's attempt to depict Ali's womanizing, his dubious affiliation with the Nation of Islam, and his insatiable need for the spotlight seems halfhearted and laborious in comparison to the film's enlivened adoration of its subject.

	The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum
		actor Saif Ali Khan is a busy man these days— playing a soccer star and planning to shoot a ‘Ruffles Lays’ commercial in Spain to be directed by Kunal Kohli—even as his new film Hum Tum hits the theatres.
		Saif Ali Khan undergoes the litmus test as the film hits the theatres.
		Having been a Saif bet in supporting roles, Hum Tum is the film which is expected to prove his mettle as a solo hero.

	Ali (2001)
		Ali's close friend has just been killed and you're just waiting for a rising orchestral number (however cliche and standard it may be, that's what you're looking for), but instead you get a period song that, at this point in the film, is beginning to sound like half a dozen others before it.
		Ali is a film that both succeeds and fails at the same time.
		Ali goes through two wives in the film and in neither case do they even serve to get very angry with him.

	Ali movie review
		While Ali comes out on top on most of the fights depicted in the film, he took his share of punches later on, something that is not revealed in the film nor actively realised by most people who are familiar with his life.
		Ali (played by Will Smith) was the person who fought against the U.S. government to avoid fighting for them, even though it meant losing his heavyweight championship title.
		The biggest problem with the film are the long extended sequences, with songs that aren't completely congruent (and I happen to like Sam Cooke), where nothing happens.

		The first question to come to mind when interviewing the 33-year-old Iranian director Ali Reza Amini concerned the impressive number of shorts he made before shooting his first feature-length film: We counted 13 in the brief filmography outlined in the Thessaloniki International Film Festival’s program.
		Amini belongs to the third generation of modern Iranian filmmakers.
		The same theme runs through his first feature film, “Letters in the Wind,” which, though banned in his own country, established him as a new force in Iranian cinema.

	AVS Forums Archives - Ali Movie
		I can't recommend "Ali" unless you are interested in seeing Will Smith at his best and have 3 hours to kill.
		You are better off renting "When we were Kings" rather than going to the movies and watching the new Ali movie.
		The film seems to have no sense of time, near the beginning of the film, Cassius says that he is "only 22 years old", and later in the film he says he is 32.

	Soha, missing from Locarno!

		It is a period film set in 1878 about a landlord with two wives, Rupa Ganguly and Soha Ali Khan.

	New phase for Soha Ali Khan in Bengali films
		Said she, “Doing the role was hard because it’s alien from your life and you really need to be sensitive.” The local press, after its release, has panned the film heavily for its mythical sexual exposure of women and its tacky content; sleazy scenes of sex, crude depiction of sexual text and its implausible interpretation.
		Paresh Rawal has also been chosen to act in the film which will also feature Sharmila Tagore and her daughter Soha Ali Khan.
		And Soha has been sadistically used to portray a kind of sex scenes unprecedented in Bengali films.

	KeepMedia Al Bawaba: Muna Zaki and Kareem Abdul Aziz become inseparable
		The recent success of the film “Abu Ali” starring young Egyptian actress Muna Zaki and actor Kareem Abdul Aziz has attracted directors to nominate them for their work considering them as the perfect duo.
		On a different note, Muna revealed that recent circulating rumors that a conflict existed between her and Rotana, because the latter had aired behind the scenes clips from her latest film “Abu Ali”, were not true.
		The actor’s most recent nomination is by director Ahmad Nader Jala and scenarist Midhat al Adel for the leading role in the upcoming film “Al Muhtarif” (The Specialist).

	Las Vegas SUN: 'The Greatest' looking forward to second biographical film
		And Ali, a devout Muslim, said the film "cannot be anything but" a clean movie that the whole family can go to see.
		Few people have had their lives memorialized in a major motion picture, yet it seems appropriate that the man who long called himself "the greatest" would have two films commemorating his accomplishments.
		Ali said his favorite Smith movie was the 1998 film "Enemy of the State." Ali said he also enjoyed Smith's work in last year's "Wild Wild West" and in his television sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

	MovieFreak.com - ALI Review
		Jamie Foxx, playing Ali's motivator Boudini, stands as the film's biggest disappointment because his dramatic range is stunted by melodramatic dialogue and lack of association with Smith through the course of the film.
		It is a film based solely on Ali's fights and many musical montages, but not on the man himself.
		Ali, at the time, was known primarily as Cassius Clay, yet he thought of Clay as a slave name, and thus changed it to Cassius X. It was not until later that he was dubbed Muhammad Ali.

	Home Theater & Sound -- Movie Review -- Ali -- ***
		Ali is a good film, but it’s not an outstanding film.
		Muhammad Ali’s story is one of inspiration for me, and all indications looked like this movie story would get topnotch treatment.
		Ali does look good, as good as anything Mann has done, but for whatever reason it does not convey the excitement it should.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Ali
		Probably the main thing that does come through in the film is that Ali, ultimately, was his own man. He stood up for his faith and he opposed the war in Vietnam when that was a very unpopular thing to do.
		The film also partly covers Ali's conversion to Islam and his relationship to Elijah Muhammad, Herbert Muhammad and Malcom X (well-played by Mario Van Peebles) of the Black Muslims.
		The film also shows one of Ali's extra-marital affairs.

	No More Singing for Lucky Ali?
		With his Kasak slated to release this Friday, singer turned actor Lucky Ali is busy shooting for his next film Vivash which is a psychological thriller.
		Vivash stars Lucky Ali, Jackie Shroff and Rajpal Yadav and is directed by debutant Navneet Baj Saini.
		No, he is not retiring his vocal chords but the reason lies in the fact that the film does not have any songs in it.

	Uzbek cinema brought to Western audience
		Man Follows Birds (Ali Khamraev, Uzbekistan, 1972; 96m) is playing in New York at the Walter Reade Theater in Manhattan until the end of May. The film does have some semi-nude and mildly violent scenes.
		Khamraev relies on over-the-top acting from its young actors, pseudo-kitschy film techniques and juxtaposition of the innocence of childhood with the cruel nature of Uzbek countryside life to create a unique, odd story.
		In these scenes Khamraev perfects the emerging Uzbek art-house film techniques with his fluid camera shots.

		Impressive newcomer Ali Reza Amini's debut feature film uses conscription and life in the barracks as a metaphor, creating an artful microcosm of contemporary Iranian society.
		Amini has given us a film which is outwardly simple but, in fact, profoundly intricate in its depiction of the lives of these young soldiers, making Letters in the Wind both a captivating tale of desire and human connection and a significant account of the present state of the Iranian spirit.
		Bani Etemad doesn't provoke pity for these no-nonsense people, whose philosophical take on their problems is "that's life." The film was a box-office smash in Iran-a sign of its straight talk about the underside of life, including taboo topics like prostitution, drugs, and corruption.

	Has Will Smith Converted to Islam?
		To help further his transformation into Ali, Smith also studied Orthodox Islam with a Muslim cleric named Munir, and later learned more about the division between the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X (played in the film by Mario Van Peebles).
		The one thing that stands out for me from doing this film and diving into Ali's understanding of the Nation of Islam, and then his understanding of his God, is that my relationship has to be directly with God.
		And in working on this film, I began to understand that Ali is a Muslim, but he is also a man of God.

	Ali movie info - dvds - Michael Mann
		"Ali" - the current theatrical release which features Will Smith in the title role, is convincing enough in some spots to grab the viewer's interest, while in other areas, leaves a bit to be desired, as far as the film's realistic merits are concerned.
		Nonetheless, "Ali" is a compelling and entertaining film that combines superb production details, a fine cast, and other noteworthy elements.
		The film concludes with Ali's battle with George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle."
