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.
