First things first, Preity Zinta is too much of a pretty girl to be playing a plucky little village girl and it shows so painfully here as she is miscast in the role of Reshma, a Indian-Kashmiri mountain girl who looks like she just stepped off the cover of Vogue and catches the eyes of a soldier(played by Sunny Deol) guarding the border near her village.
Second of all, does Sunny Deol ever play a jester? Why do I always see him as a stuffy cop, or detective, or goon, or tough big brother, or gangster and now here a spy???? I'm tired of seeing him, same 'Ol, same 'Ol! Break the mold Sunny!
Priyanka Chopra is wasted here as well in one of her many first films, as Shaheen Zakaria the daughter of a Pakistani-Canadian industrialist(played by Kabir Bedi) who funds and supports terrorists. Amrish Puri is the only one who holds his own as Ishak Khan, an unrelenting terrorist whom Major Arun Khanna (Deol) is hellbent on taking down. Blink and you'll miss the always jilted Parvin Dabas playing Salman, yet another unlucky guy in love.
The only good thing about this film is that it showcases a full fledge Indian/Pakistani styled wedding shot in the snowy mountains of a Canadian resort disguised as a home and I have to say that it's one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
