Strong dramatic performances weakened by inept comedians(?), over the top writing, and implausable ending., 24 June 2004

I totally agree with the reviewer who said that this is Madhuri's film.
I only wish she could have had even more scenes, a better script, and
been more involved in the climax. Her performance and the performances
of all the dramatic stars caused me to give the film a 7 instead of a
5. Anil Kapoor did his best in a thankless role where, at times, he is
extremely immature and a big momma's boy. His character was frequently
tedious. The comedy(?) was grating and frequently brought the tension
and story to a complete halt. Do the masses really like this kind of
stuff? INDIRECT SPOILER. The ending was both implausible and unoriginal
and left me shaking my head wondering what really happened.
Music and photography were all top notch, especially some great shots
of Madhuri by herself and with Anil.

Clearly one of Madhuri's better performances. The film
could
have been treated better by the director though. Watch the
film
if you are a fan of Madhuri.
