Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love

The movie starts off quite well with excellent restrained performances by full cast including Amitabh and Akshay. The Amitabh fits prefectly in his role of a self-made, high-profile, hard-working buisnessman. Akshay deviating from his usual action/slap-stick-comedy roles, has done a commendable job as well educated, new generation son of Amitabh. The first half of the movie is good with well written script and good characterization.

Its the second half of the movie that reduces it to just another typical bollywood drama with loud acting, unrealistic situations and too predictable happy ending.

So overall 6 out of 10.

I saw this movie today.I must say this is bearable and okay.Story is good.It tells about Kapoor family who has 3 girls and 1 son.One day Vijay comes across Rajesh.What he does not knows that Rajesh wants to capture his wealth and for that he marries his daughter.Then a problem occurs in his company.He screams at his son.His son leaves him.Then Rajesh captures hiss wealth.He closes his company.He is sick.Then his son returns.A good story.The very handsome Mohnish Behl who plays Rajesh overacts miserably.Karishma who looks gorgeous as ever in the movie gives an annoying performance in an unusual character.Juhi looks very pretty in this movie and is strictly OK here.The other 2 are okay also.Rakhee who looks good in the movie is wasted.Aashish is OK too.The movie belongs To Akshay and Amtabh who give great performances.The bond was beautiful.Their performances were more deserving than Shah Rukh Khan in K3G.Aamir in Lagaan or Amtabh in K3G.Their acting was the best of that year.Shakti Kapor was irritating.The music by Nadeem Shravan is good and catchy and not to forget melodious.Watch this for the Amtabh and Akshay who give great performances Rating-5/10

If you really don't know much about this movie,all you need to know that there is a song called 'Mohabbat Ne Mohabbat Ko' which is the best Hindi song of 2001.So go see Ek Rishtaa,just to watch the song sequence,the location in Switzerland is too worn out in every Hindi movie,but that is the only location of the song,which makes you see,there is beauty in simplicity!

This is a good movie.A good family flick with a lot of strong emotions.

Story is simple with a lot of great performances.Both Amitabh and Akshay have given great performances.Supporting cast like Rakhee,Juhi Chawala have given good performances.Karishma is also pretty good and looks completely beautiful through out.Others like the 3 daughters are quite average.Mohnish Behl overacts completely.Sunil Shettys cameo was point less

Songs are good(with Ek Dil Hai being the best one ) and so are their Picturisations.Malayasian locales(in Dil Deewana no)and i think the Thai locales(in Dil Lagene Ki Saza)and also the Swiss locales in(Mohaabat Ne Mohabbat Ko)are a treat to the eyes

Everything else like the story,script,screenplay are good.Set designs and camera work is first rate

Present day Bollywood movies have no feeling at all. At this one you feel the father-child bond.
