    View all
  • 3 stars out of 5

    There have been numerous adaptations of Sarat Chandra Chatterjee's novel, but while PC Barua's 1935 version and Bimal Roy's 1955 remake possess great visual finesse, neither can boast the exhilarating presence of Bollywood superstar, Madhuri Dixit. Returning to the mainstream after experimental outings in MF Husain's Gaja Gamini and Rajkumar Santoshi's Lajja, she revels in the role of the Calcutta courtesan who attempts to console lonely country boy Shah Rukh Khan, as he battles with the bottle and his remorse at leaving behind childhood sweetheart, Aishwarya Rai. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali wisely allows Dixit full rein — especially during Ismail Darbar's musical numbers — but it's the magnificent sets and costumes that made this version the most expensive Hindi film ever produced.

    For anyone unfamiliar with Indian Cinema

    A note for anyone new to Indian cinema: If you are looking for an introductory taste of Indian cinema, this may be the perfect film for you: Lavish exotic sets and traditional costumes, classical music and dancing - plenty to culture-shock you into a different world. But be warned - the opening of this film is somewhat overwhelming and sickeningly-melodramatic. Everything is large, dramatic and in-your-face, which can be a bit much for some (but do give it a chance). This film is a candy-store for the eyes. Like a painting in motion, every corner of the frame is decorated with detail, no colour on the palate is spared - a very different experience to what you would get from any other kind of cinema.
