9/10
One of Juhi's best
28 August 2022
Just watched it again today on a slow Sunday afternoon with the family, after over 20 years. I was surprised how well it has held up compared to most early 90s movies. It's still as enjoyable as ever, with genuine funny moments and often pulls at your heartstrings as well. Juhi is the star of this film without a doubt. I have often lamented the fact that as Amazing an actress she is, she never really got her due from the industry in terms of meaty roles which allow her to show off her acting chops. This is one of the exceptions where she shines and we get to see her full range of emotions. Though mostly it's her comedic side which has been highlighted here, in the 2nd half the pain and anguish of unrequited love of her character beautifully comes across through her earnest portrayal, especially in the song "wo meri neend". Only the first few minutes and the OTT climax pull you out of it and remind you that you are watching a dated 90s movie but otherwise it holds up pretty well and made for a fun watch.
