Fabulous music! A little over the top. but hey, it's Bollywood! And Shah Rukh Kahn is fabulous--he's right on the cusp of laughing at the whole wonderful filmi thing, but giving a great serious performance. Funny and touching too. And, surprise, the good guy wins (gee, hope I didn't give anything away;-) LOVED IT!!!! shree yantra! Long live Bollywood!!!

As long as you can handle reading captions and watching film for 168 minutes, this movie is worth your time. At first the humor is bizaare. You might wonder if there will be a story, but your patience will pay off. Each detail acted out in the slapstick portion builds a case for the serious, suspenseful parts of the story. Sit back and be entertained by the colorful Bollywood overkill and then allow yourself to be pulled into the heart wrenching drama.

This is my first bollywood movie and i am glad I saw it! It was very funny and entertaining. I actually saw it in the theatre on a whim and fell in love. The characters were very animated and cute. The dancing was very interesting. If your looking to open up your horizons and explore a different type of musical, definetly try this movie.
