    Utterly Enjoyable!

    It might not be an accurate historical representation of events, but it is not a history book after all. This is just pure entertainment with all the Bollywood bits but done surprisingly well. Acting is great, Aamir Khan looks unrecognisable. Songs are lovely. It is worth watching if for the costumes alone. Overall, great pleasure to watch, keeps you on the edge of your seat, brings tears to your eyes and makes you laugh (watch out for the scene with Pandey and 'gora' full of bhang and singing). There is an air of quality about this movie which is very impressive. Greatly recommended.

    well done but still not quite there...

    A subject full of drama handled beautifully in parts but the female characters are not done justice in creation. Songs seem superfluous and the latter half could have been made more gripping than it is. The build up to the start of the war lacks the adrenalin except for Aamir's performance. Surely the throbbing anticipation of the time could have been captured better. However, Amir Khan and Toby stephens are the highlights and some of the scenes in which they both appear are wonderful to watch. It has the ability to bring out a lump in your throat and tears but overall the film falls surprisingly short of the heights it could have reached.
