Audience Member This was terrible, and a waste of a good cast and generous budget. I have watched all main actors in other much better movies than this one. This is a bad, gendered story about two very rich and apparently very rich pair of brothers who fall in love with the same woman. Manisha Koirala is a decent actress, but she is graceless when it comes to dancing. Oh well, what to do? Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Mike M A throwback from producer-director Khan, attempting to update the classic Hindi romance for an age of fast cars and mobile phones; the results, alas, prove more tortuous than timeless... It's a producer's film, evidently: we jet from location to location, and from one obscenely expensive set-piece to the next, but there's practically zero human interest on display, nor much understanding of how to pace, shape or even cast a film. Devgan does nothing to dispel my feeling that he's more interesting playing craggy-faced villains than floppy-haired romantic swooners two decades younger than him, while for a supposedly haunting beauty, Arabella Weir-lookalike Koirala appears weirdly awkward in her showcase musical numbers, like a yummy mummy struggling to keep up in post-natal step class. Mildly steamier than usual - Dutt takes the opportunity to nuzzle his co-star's breasts during one song, and later gets both her and Devgan naked - and there's some novelty in the Hungarian locations, but what's sorely lacking is the ironic distance that made, say, "Far from Heaven" a vital reinvention of the form, any indication the filmmakers are smarter or funnier than the material their predecessors in the field came up with. Instead, we're offered a joblot of creaking, interminable, more than faintly risible melodrama, and not even the extravagance can save it.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A musical and nothing more, one song ends and another begins with short scenes in between to join them together thus no scope to witness any acting. superb cinematography ad great to see Sanju and manshish HALF the size they are today. that deserves the 2 stars.lame story, lame dialoges and lame everything else. BUT DO WATCH IT ON DVD IF YOU CAN worth the breathtaking cinematography, otherwise a TOTAL DRAG!
