      Prithvi Bana: [wearing a lot of gulaal on his face] who am I?

      Bhati: [smiling] Prithvi Bana.

      Prithvi Bana: Right! you would recognize everyone who wears gulaal won't you?

      Bhati: Yes I would!

      Prithvi Bana: Then what is the use of so much gulaal on our faces?

    amazing movie with great performances
    This is the 3rd AK's movie I watched and as usual this one also filled with power packed performances. The best part of the movie was the songs. You may not like the songs without watching the movie. Piyush mishra is a immensely talented actor and to my surprise singer too. The lyrics of the songs sung by him are philosophical and sarcastic at the same time. You may laugh his songs off but it will definitely make you think. Deepak Dobriyal is another truck load of talent. I am sure his role as Bhati will please both critics and viewers. Not to mention KK Menon and the protagonist too are treat to watch. Watch this movie if you want your money worth.
