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.

I watched Mann a few days after it was released. Manisha Koirala and Aamir Khan are at the peak of their performance. Though it is a remake of a film 'All about an Affair' but the director's work is commendable.

I'd want Manisha to be nominated for the best actress award for this movie. The soundtrack is excellent. 'Tinak Tin tana', 'Mera mann', 'Kehna' are the numbers with extremely catching tunes. I'd recommend this movie to all the indian movie lovers.

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.

My FAVORITE Bollywood film of all time. No matter how many times you watch this movie it'll always hit you hard.. just perfection

A ship journey, a love story, a tragedy, finally a typical Bollywood one with too many coincidences. An adaption of the movie 'An Affair to Remember 1957'.

Full of good songs. A movie, in which all songs are very good.

A womanizer playboy encounters a woman on a ship journey. They both fall in love with each other with their caring behaviors. Whereas the woman was already engaged. Thus when the journey ends, they make a commitment to each other to meet in a place after 6 months. This is how they split. But fate has its own choice. Fate decides they will meet or not, or any tragedy or happy ending.

Manisha and Aamir Khan did very well. Anil Kapoor did very well but wasted. The direction, the script are not much promising, thus it gets lower ratings. Otherwise recommended only for the music. Udit Narayan at his best.
