Wonderful, simply superb!!

Truly, I have no words to describe the effort taken by ManiRathnam to make a WORLD CLASS product such as Dil Se. It is amazing!! The story has Shahrukh falling in love with Manisha, unknown of the fact that she is a terrorist. He follows her only to be rejected.

Also, it is revealed that she is THE human bomb who is gonna kill the President during the Republic Day Ceremony. The plot revolves around them until, Preity Zinta makes a surprise entry as his chosen bride. The story then becomes a love triangle with lots of twists and turns and glues us till the end.

Mani, hats off to you!!
