Pradeep Sarkar's Laga Chunari Mein Daag is very aged wine - palatable, but with no strikingly new notes.

With Bunty Aur Babli, Yashraj had stuck a chord with small town India. I doubt if they would be able to repeat it with Lagaa.

Rated: 1/4

It's superior Bollywood soap, saved by the acting, which just about manages to raise it above sud-level.

One can't help but sense an edgier, braver film fighting to break free.

As corny and joyful as anything you'd see on Turner Classic Movies.

The movie works so hard to transform its shocking subject into acceptable material for middlebrow melodrama that it never deals with it.

Great movie!!!! The characters pulled me in and I laughed with them and cried with them. Totally entertaining movie. It is over two hours which is typical of an Indian Movie and there is not as much singing and dancing. Usually it annoys me but this movie made it fun and so colorful. Great movie to watch for your next Valentine's Day. This one is becoming a part of my permanent collection!
