Well Made Movie

This movie is a very mature made movie. It is recommended for all ages and a must see for serious/ commercial film lovers. The movie goes a little over the top in the first half but the movie continues well. The second half has the movie slow down a bit, but the viewer won't lose interest. The story is extremely simple, but that adds to the charm of the movie. The characters have a lot of growth which makes you feel for the characters once you know them. Aamir Khan overacts a bit in the beginning, but he is perfect in the drama scenes. His character is someone you would expect Salman Khan to play, but overall he doesn't disappoint. Manisha Koirala is an excellent actress. Instead of cheering for Aamir to get the girl, you feel bad for her on how he is constantly annoying her. She was best in the scene where she "confronts" Anil Kapoor. The only complaint I had was the she didn't look as beautiful as she normally does. Anil Kapoor was also good and funny and perfect. The rest of the cast perform well. One of the best parts of this movie was the last twist which, unless you didn't see the originals, will have you shocked. The best part of this movie was that the songs move along with this movie. The best song was Kehna Hai Tumse which pictrized nicely on the mountains. Mera Mann was very interesting picturized with the pulling however it was very nice to watch. Rani Mukherjee danced very well to Kali Nagin which is also one of my favorite songs. Tinak Tin Tana was also nicely picturized. Nasha Yeh Pyar Ka was a little boring but the Dance Music was the best dance. The rest of the songs were a bit boring, but helped move the story rather than dragging it. Otherwise the movie is worth a watch for it comedy and drama.
