long and clichéd, but with lovely songs, 30 January 2009
Author: long-ford from India

This is a long film with a very clichéd plot (rich boy loves poor girl but snooty parents object). The only reason to see this film is some decent acting by Amrish Puri and Akshaye Khanna, as well as some sweet songs, scored by AR Rehman. The lovely Aishwarya Rai is beautifully choreographed dancing to melodious tracks. She is average in this film as far as acting is concerned, but her dancing skills are flawless. Anil Kapoor overacts his way as the third lead, a hyperactive music producer who's obsessed with money and success. Worth a watch on television or DVD.

Overall 6/10
