Karisma Kapoor was the other choice for the role of Roopa. Dharmesh Darshan chose Twinkle Khanna because he thought she fit the role better. Ironically, critics and audiences panned Twinkle endlessly in this movie.

Gee whiz! So many people I've spoken with are so hard on this movie! I saw this movie and really enjoyed it. Of course, Aamir Khan was great and he did carry a lot of the movie, but every movie I've seen with him he tends to outshine everyone else.
Am I so alone? Was there ANYONE else out there that enjoyed this film? I really thought Faisal was a good fit for the character he played. Clue me in - why is everyone so harsh on this film? Is it because they can't see past Sholay?
I would like to see more movies in this style; of course, there are so many Bollywood movies I might die before I am about to see 1/5 of them, but I always remember to turn off my brain and try to see the film as the directors meant it to be seen; and not to make comparisons. If we tried to compare every actor to Aamir, they'd all be found wanting.
All the Best to everyone; and chin up, Faisal! Someone out here thinks you are a success at what you do. I loved Shankar.
