  • Spectacular!!

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A great film with a good story line. My non-asian friends did not find this film a mainstream indian musical, they were actually moved by the material in the film. Even though the religious conflict gets a little bit dramatic towards the end, it is a lot more bearable than watching a cheesy lovers reunion or a young hero rescuing a damsel in distress. Music and directing is of great quality, the lead actress was slightly overly emotional & dramatic, however the lead actor kept the film in the realms of reality. I think one of the best films to come out from India!

    This was such a suprise to me as I didn't expect it to be as moving as it was. The romance, the scenery, the in laws banter, the violence, the final scene...it is definately the little things that make this film so amazing.I don't know anything about Bombay so I was really quite shocked that such things went on and not that long ago either. This is a very easy film to fall in love with, very thoughtful and very beautifully directed too.

  • Brillant

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Woking , 20 Jan 2009
    The movie was excellent and the sound track is ace to. The film capture the love and war really well and the two main characters are really good. The split between different religious backgrounds and the love they find in a city fuelled with religious riots. Excellent movie.

    Did not know about the truth of the Bombay with the two religions. Hope it never happens again. Good film.
