      Audience Member A bit forced, not the greatest of Indian films, but interesting for the history lesson. Gurdas Maan looks really good in turban and beard; he ought to do it more often. The Jaws music when Saabo got rejected was an unexpected giggle. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the best movies ! salute to late manoj punj ji for such a wonderfull movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Here's an interesting movie that centralizes around one man's adventure into writing an epic love story/song. He meets a young woman whom becomes his every thought, and the two quickly become acquainted. Even sometimes, they are writing and sharing their collective thoughts on a poem. It is a pair of brother and sister that comes between the two. As his sought love is arranged to marry the brother, he is then annoyingly bothered and pestered by the sister. In the end, he realizes that the young woman also loves him but is doomed to stay committed within her marriage. He decides not to pursue it any further. Gurdas Mann, Juhi Chawla, and Divya Dutta stars. Worthy! Great music. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I was eager to watch this film and it was a good experience. Sadly, the subtitles are terrible and in bad timing, which prevents anyone who is not fluent in the language to fully appreciate the beauty of the dialogues and of course the songs! However, it is musically a delight! My favorita Alka does a marvelous job, and so does the singer Gurdas Maan. I also thought that it was visually superb; the Punjabi images are breath-taking and sweetly Muslim. I don't give the last start due to a couple of things: Gurdas is a bad actor, let's face it. He didn't manage to smile in the whole movie, and he is not the best dancer either. I wasn't conviced at all, I think a good actor depicting Waris is crucial. I also thought some of the customs were not well-thought, like Malik's grey wig... the dark of his natural hair was too visible. Besides that, I really appluad the movie, and love seeing more mature actresses on the screen, great job! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw at June/18/2008.Wed , 3:30 Am to The end in Pakistan . Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A good historical depiction of the story and a really good Punjabi film i have seen after many years!!
