This film may be overlong but it is a solid entertainer. The production values are good and the direction competent. Aamir Khan and Naseeruddin Shah face off against each other here and both excel. Aamir is convincing despite looking too young for his role. The film is patriotic and squarely blames a rival nation for inciting trouble in India. However, it refuses to demonize any particular community. There are too many songs but some of them are quite melodious. I personally liked a gentle ghazal sung by Jagjit Singh. Sonali Bendre provides the glamor element. Watchable.
Overall 7/10
