Review: Sad but good movie - Sad but good movie.
Review: Epic - Okay, the first 20 minutes is a bit slow and corny. The plot and the characters are a bit simple - sometimes reminiscent of a good old 1950s film; but the characters are endearing, and just like those old films, this one can make you anxious one minute and bring tears to your eyes the next. I love that. But the five-star features of this film for me as a Bollywood fan were the rich soundtrack by A.R. Rahman and the remarkable amount of really fantastic Indian choreography. I certainly felt that I got my money's worth!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mrs. Rai-Bachchan's Doesn't Rise In Love, She Soars!
*by K***Y on June 5, 2013*

Why you may ask, did I rent this movie when I've already spent two long reviews ranting about my distaste for Subhash Ghai. It's a reasonable question. Two Words, Aishwarya Rai. (Now Rai-Bachchan), I have so much admiration for her talent that I can't skip it. Another reason, I watched it is because I like Akshaye Khanna a lot, and I had nothing better to do tonight. Mrs. Rai-Bachchan is pure grace. Oh yeah, she's gorgeous too, but what makes her presence on screen so unique is her exquisite poise and grace. Now I love watching all sorts of heroes and heroines in Hindi movies, actresses like: Kajol, Kareena Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, and Rani Mukjeri are favorites of mine. But, Mrs. Rai-Bachchan outshines them all for me because she rarely oversells her emotions. When the typical heroine is bouncing and chirping with happiness, a luminous, smile and gentle laughter are her trademarks. When the typical screeching like a harpy when she's angry, a tight hard voice is what Mrs. Rai-Bachchan uses. When she cries, she cries like every woman I know cries. She showcases this extremely well in this movie. Either Mr. Ghai decided to forego his usual style of squeezing people into acting styles that won't suit them, or Mrs. Rai-Bachchan couldn't give him the usual so he made due with what he had. Whatever it was, her performance as Mansi is lovely and natural. I've yet to see a film of hers where I don't feel for and with her character. I love her dancing here, she floats with the air and her every movement is refinement itself. Akshaye Khanna was exceedingly sincere in his role as Manav. That's a good thing because as written Manav's idea of courtship strongly resembles stalking. If Khanna wasn't able to channel sweetness and goodness so effectively the romance would be more disturbing than anything else. As it was, I did have the willies for the first ten minutes. I blame that on the script. Once again, the favorite bhabs (fathers) of Bollywood join forces to separate and reunite the lovers. Amrish Puri, plays Manav's father, the stern, snobby industrialist based out of London, but lives in Mumbai. Alok Nath, plays Mansi's father, the traditional, and poor, but revered folk singer and school master. I'm just thrilled neither threatened to kill their respective offspring this time, and best of all, the daughter doesn't get slapped for a change. Then again, who is going to slap the first Indian Miss World? But next to Mrs. Rai-Bachchan's performance the movie belonged to Anil Kapoor. The man had attained legend status working with actresses such as Sridevi, and Madhuri Dixit. His turn as the self-centered, profit driven, showman chewed scenery. Unfortunately, he overdid it just a tad. He's much better when he can be restrained, but I think since Ghai allowed both his hero and his heroine to be more natural than appears to be his usual practice he wanted the character of, Vikrat to pick up the slack with HUGE overwrought emotion. One of the great aspects of fun of this movie is to spot the "blink-and-you'll-miss-them" appearances of a young Shiad Kapur. I adore him, so that made me smile. Okay technical stuff... I just can't get over the shock that Ghai wrote a screenplay that had an NRI as the good guy! Hooray! I wish I could say he learned his lesson from the cesspool of prejudice that is Pardes but unfortunately he made Yaadein after this so I'm thinking this one is just a fluke. I'm grateful for this though, I actually enjoyed this movie. I don't need to see it again, but I had expected to be angry and depressed. I'm not and that's awesome, but I said once I saw this movie I was through with Ghai movies and I AM! No more, this was a perfectly fine film to see once, but the only truly special thing about it is Mrs. Rai-Bachchan. The cinematography is adequate, particularly the outdoor scenes but nothing spectacular. The screenplay dragged a lot and there's that stalker-ish vibe. The worst part is that the hero straight up tells you exactly how the story will end. Okay, in fairness, anyone who has watched enough Bollywood could guess. But to tell word for word the actions and dialogue of the ending is just a total bummer. And yes, I'm showing my age there. Once again, Ghai edited his own work and once again, he shows he's not too ruthless in determining what to keep and what to trim. I genuinely believe fifteen or twenty minutes trimmed would have made a decent movie a very good one. One thing that is miles ahead of the other Ghai films I've seen is the soundtrack. The music is exquisite, and it should be with Bollywood's very best composer and lyricist in charge. A.R. Rahman and Javid Akhtar once again give the world exquisite beauty. I don't have a favorite here, they're all lovely songs to listen to. Unfortunately, I think one or two of the musical numbers contributed to the uneven pace of the movie. All in all, this is the one-and-only time I didn't waste three hours of my life watching a Ghai film. But in case you're wondering, those four stars are for Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan. She's recently said she's coming back to the movies, I for one, cannot wait!
