Mann

Mann is in my honest opinion one of the best films of 1999. It is at first a very nice, light romance which later turns into a sad and emotional drama. The story is very beautiful and is reminiscent of the 1965 classic 'Arzoo', the music is fantastic, and the acting is very effective. Among the songs, "Khushiyan Aur Gham" is one of my most favourite songs ever. Aamir Khan delivers an excellent performance. Although he is not very convincing as a womaniser, he is very good as a suffering lover. I think the best thing about his acting at that point of time was his simplicity and restraint, and that he never tried to do more than required (as I said, at least until that point of time). Manisha Koirala gives an amazing performance. She is intense, compelling and moving as always and does not at any point try to victimise her character. The film's big tragic twist is a tough moment to see, a moment which makes you realise how unexpected life can be and how important it is to cherish every moment of it. This is a wonderful and touching picture. I highly recommend.

Ithink so aamir Khan was just brilliant in this movie I just loved him Even Manisha was looking gorgeous.

In whole worth a watch. Songs were Brillaint and Last Scene of the Movie was the best for Long time in Any Hindi Movie. Cheers for Aamir Khan for this lovely movie

Mann is a very intense romantic drama with a brilliant music. The acting by Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala was more than excellent. No two ways about that.

Aamir Khan is the best actor in Bollywood and he has proved that he is the most versatile with a unique change in his characters. He has always been consistent throughout his career and that is why that he is reigning Indian cinema from the past decade.

Manisha Koirala has a great potential to do emotional scenes and in Mann she also conducted light comedy scenes flawlessly.

Mann revolves around Dev Karan Singh (Aamir Khan) and Priya (Manisha) showing different twists in their long run for true love and an unexpected climax which is worth watching. The first half was enjoyable with a flare of comedy and the second half had a fair share of emotions which would keep your heart flowing with Dev and Priya till the last scene(and what a scene it was) !!

The music by debutant duo Sanjeev-Darshan is one of the main highlights of Mann. They brought out some very interesting tunes which occupies your mind and it is worth of them to be listened repeatedly. All songs are infectious and melodious which are delivered by Udit, Alka and Hema Serdasai - All at their best. The locales and photography was also beautiful captured.

Overall Mann is a fascinating movie with romance and emotions at their height. What more ..... Listen To Your Heart.

Mann has many of the necessary ingrediants orsuccessful combination of what needed for a hit film, with the bollywood industry largely themed at love and romance its the very few movies that become hits amongst a stacked competition year after year..

Manisha and Aamir are easily amongst the top ten actors of bollywood has ever seen and always enhance every movie they star in, unlike some actors who may be very good but have some major flaws.

The film story is reasonably interesting, hit songs and good actors, well written script, good direction and shot well.

*Note to IMBD (Title Error) Mann does not translate to Mind. Mann is dificult to translate but relates to heart and soul or feelings from the heart or soul. It has nothing to do with the mind. For example in Hindi the translation for the word soul is Ant Mann or Aatma. A more accurate translation for the word Mann is "Heart of the Soul" or "Passion of the Soul" or "Feeling of the Heart" or "Passion of the Heart" ETC.

Strange how the same story is received vastly different over time. In 1957 when "Affair to Remember" was released it was considered amongst the most romantic films of all time. Mann's story was made from that movie. Reading other reviews, people don't seem to be too impressed with the movie. My advise to future viewers, "Mann se dekho" to fully appreciate this movie. Songs are beautiful, dialogues heart rendering. Aamir Khan played his part to the hilt as no other actor could. Manisha Koirala was very pretty and she made you feel her pain. Anil Kapoor and Neeraj Vora were integral part of the story and they did justice to their respective roles. This is a movie to watch and remember as very few movies are made for the ages.
