This is a movie about trying to listen to your heart in the face of pressure from your own family. Karan Sharma is cast as a somewhat gawky man/boy, Jai Sinha, who falls in love, but circumstances force him to restrain himself.

I saw this movie on DVD in the US. Some of the dialog was in English - so I don't know how that played in the movie theaters in India, unless they dubbed that in Hindi. I liked the overall feel of the movie. The performances were good. In many situations, the plot made the characters act in a fashion very consistent with real life. I liked that. One thing that was portrayed unrealistically was the mannerism and language of Sophie's family, especially her father. His manner of speaking was as if he a landlord in India, and not a white businessman in Mauritius. Also, I didn't like the overworked ploy of making the girl fall for the guy by getting him to insult her first. The director could have been more creative on that.

The perfect family movie.I loved this movie.The story is poignant,the performances are realistic,the locales appealing and the filming peppy.Excellent music too.I said it once and i'll say it again.This movie is simply too good.And if anybody did not like this movie,not my problem as they are missing out on a slice of good,clean,quality cinema.

Amitabh Bachchan seems to be getting better with each movie.The father-son relationship has been presented beautifully.Revathi is one under-rated actress and this movie makes full use of her talent.Karan Sharma makes a confident debut.He may look a little gawky,but that only adds to his performance.Annabelle Wallis looks ethereal and acts brilliantly.Here's a good actress in the making.Bhoomika Chawla touches your heart with her sincerity.She's simply too good.The rest of the cast provides adequate support.

It truly is a pity that good movies like this are rejected and some bottom of the barrel movies end up as hits.But then,that's life.........
