                • Trivia
                  During the course of the film, the character played by Shahrukh Khan passes through each of the 7 shades of love defined in ancient Arabic literature - attraction, infatuation, love, reverence, worship, obsession and death.
                • Goofs
                  In the opening scene at the railway station where Shahrukh Khan is asking for matchstick from Manisha a sudden wind gush blow away her shawl completely out of her hands but in the next scene she is shown with the shawl in her hands wrapping around her body.

                Unbelievable
                The problem with Hindi cinema is its very strong formalistic framework where it has to fit in. It must pass the censors, must be made for a billion of mostly analphabets and must contain a great number of song and dance scenes. Mani Ratnam is one (and only?) director who constantly extents this genre to embrace the producers, the popular audience and the critical and political aware intellectuals with his strong political claims ("Roja", "Bombay"). This one now beats it all and everybody (in India) talked about it. Such an end was not seen before in Hindi cinema, and all fits perfectly well (despite to what some other critics said). And it works even if you know the end before (which most do).

                It's my current favorite. Technically superb, very sophisticated content, big fun and emotions. An american version would have been a typical political thriller about an unlucky love to a female terrorist, but Mani Ratnam gives us 300%. Not just the Indian Spielberg or Tsui Hark, this is more. Go for it.
