too sad man!, 15 May 2005
8/10
Author: baksh123 from United Kingdom

This film is one of the saddest films i have watched the acting done by many of the actors is impressive even salman does an okay job. I never watched this film when it came out but i watched it on television a few years back it has to be without a doubt one of the best films that bollywood has produced and that is because of the extensive attention to detail that is shown by the actors portraying deaf/mute characters. The thing that lingers in my memory is when manisha koiralla or whatever her name is gets involved in an accident the father who is a deaf mute played by nana patheker does a lot of things to make her wake up i don't know why but this made me cry non stop for a deaf guy to do a job to help his daughter out is impressive even though this is a work of fiction. The songs are fine and catchy especially the one salman sings in the church 'jani suno' i think it is called. I would recommend this film to anyone even people who don't like watching films and that is because it is a great film.
