this movie had a great story line...the camera angle sucked...and i have to say the movie got boring whenever they spoke. i found my mind wandering while someone was saying something... for example Amhitabh Bachan talking to Rani about how she should find happiness and stuff out on the balcony at night after Salmaan Khan dies. boring! i had to painfully watch the movie again because i was too busy dozing off and lost some of the main parts. in a way the story is good..its just the acting. this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen. and i don't like this ten lines for a comment thing either! if u have anything more to add please do..i hope someone will read this and for future reference not make a movie so boring.i feel like a good storyline was just thrown out the window.

I saw this movie yesterday, the cinema in Vienna was sold out. Despite of critics "right from the beginning you will know there will be a happy end..." there was an important message in the end of the movie. It opened my eyes widely, not knowing that the widow' problem in India is still so actual. I usually wait for a hidden message watching Indian movies and this was a very strong one. It was one of the best movies with excellent Amitabh Bachchan and Rani. I saw KANK one week ago, but I preferred Baabul because it's so human, it's so pure, there are scenes I'll never forget because of the thoughts spoken. To put it in the nutshell, I saw about 60 Indian movies so far and Baabul is one of my favorite movies.

A reviewer once said about Bollywood that "if it's a colour, use it" and Baabul is anything if not colourful. There are lots of what could be euphemistically described as vibrant colours on screen at any given time. The plot, such as it is, revolves around love found, love lost and love re-found. All clocking in at little under three hours, with the characters bursting into song at the slightest provocation. Some of the choreography for the song and dance sequences must have taken ages to put together. As usual in Indian films, kissing is taboo and the romantic sequences are remarkably chaste by western standards. All the actors should have life memberships of the academy of over-acting. Emotional nuance is not really the name of the game here. But the actors sure are good looking, even those with grandchildren. They seem to have discovered the fountain of youth. While all of this doesn't sound like a glowing review, points have to be granted for the sheer positive life-force of this film and its life affirming message.

General Comment: It wasn't terrific because the storyline was average,the acting was not brilliant except for Amitabh Bhachan who was superb,the songs were crap.

Storyline: Balraj Kapoor (Amitabh Bhachan) is looking for happiness for his daughter in law Millie (Rani Mukherjee) after his son,Avinash (Salman Khan) who is madly in love with his wife Millie. What Millie does not know is that her best friend Rajat (John Abraham) is in love with her but he wants Rani Mukherjee to be happy so he does not say anything to her when she is getting married to Avinash. But when Avinash dies Amitabh Bhachan tries to get Millie married to Rajat. But as you know in the Indian religion a widow is not allowed to get married after her husbands death so Balrajs older brother (Balwant) does not want Millie to get married again but later he realises what Millie must be going through so lets her get married to Rajat.
