This film is epic. It will make you laugh, cry and have you on the edge of your seat. Khan is sensational in this, he deserves an Oscar for his role as the autistic Rizwan Khan, without a doubt his best piece of acting to date. Kajol, as always, is beautiful and brilliant. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are always a pleasure to see paired together as on-screen lovers, but this is their best together as husband and wife, Rizwan and Mandira. You are there with the characters all the way through this movie, and that's always a great thing with any movie, feeling with the characters, and that's most certainly what you will do with this movie as you watch all the up and downs the main character goes through. From his close relationship with his mother despite his autism, falling in love, finding home and family, watching as he slowly loses all he has gained after the crisis of 9/11, and then how he tries to get it back. This film is extremely moving and touching, I would watch it again anytime!

This is such a wonderful movie! The music was is excellent and at times very moving. The acting deserves a 10/10 from Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson and Miranda Richardson. Emmy Rossum was incredible for a girl of just sixteen! The rest of the cast were very good as well. The costumes was one of my favourite things about this film. I thought Christine's dress during the song "Think of me" and "Angel of music" was beautiful. I love the outfits. The story is very romantic. This is in case you don't know what its about. Its about young chorus girl Christine Daae. Ever since coming to the opera house, the phantom has looked over and guarded Christine. When Christine's amazing voice is discovered by the opera owners, the phantom becomes obsessed with her. Then Roule (Christine's childhood sweetheart) appears, which brings the phantom's jealousy to the highest. Everyone sets a trap to catch the phantom, but the phantom knows it straight away, and sets a trap of his own to take Christine away. The phantom's trap succeeds, which results in the opera house going up in flames. Roule tries to find Christine in the phantom's den, unknown to him that this was also part of the phantom's trap. The phantom threatens Christine that if she refuses him then Roule will die. Christine is about to accept to stay with him, and then kisses him. But then the phantom realises his bitter-sweet victory, so tells Christine to forget him and allows her to go away with Roule. Does that sound like your thing? Then buy it!

I recommend this to all opera music lovers and romantic film lovers.
