AmidalaSkywalker

This movie seemed promising: Ajay Devgan, Aishwarya Ray, unhappy Lovestory....but this movie is plain boring. The camera is stable, the settings are...well, they fit the story, which is not a compliment... there are no songs, not even music most of the time. The actors only talk and nothing really happens. The plot is not to bad, since its inspired by a famous story by O'Henry. And since I wanted to know, how it ends, I even stayed on all through these really, really long 2 hrs. It was so depressing! The only good thing is, that it is so short. If you think now, that I don't know what a good movie is made off, there are movies like this, which i really liked, "Telephone" with Whoopi Goldberg is definitely one of them. But this movie is only watchable for fans of Art-house and maybe fans of French Cinema, because it is a lot like that. So if you are neither, stay away!

This is a very, very beautiful movie which will move fans of heartbraking stories. I admit, that it is a little far-fetched at times, but that's what makes it so good. It wouldn't be interesting to have a story about a loving couple without anything happening. This is clearly a movie for lovers of romance-novels. One misunderstanding after the other, people who dearly love each other but can't tell what moves them, Shahrukh Khan, in short, everything that a good romance needs. I didn't award 10 stars because of the sets which are so totally ugly and the songs which are besides one(HTHS) worse than average and the dancing choreography which is not at all nice to look at. And, although Madhuri's acting was very good, she does, in my opinion, not stand out from the other actresses. Apart from that, this is a movie that most romance fans will totally enjoy!

This movie is one of my alltime favourites! The plot although not new is perfect, which is probably why it has been used so many times. Raj and Simran fall in love while touring through Europe and when they get home, Simran is supposed to be married off to India. What I love so much about Bollywood, is all in here. First of all, Shahrukh Khan and Kajol are the perfect couple. They interact so well, everything fits. Second, The music is so great, I played the DVD a week or so until I got the CD. Third, we first see the cultural environment of London and Europe, which is contrasted very nice against India with all the fantastic colourful clothing. Fourth nice story components and Dialugues. The only reason for me not to give full 10 stars, is because off the dreadful late 80ies clothes (obviously the 80ties in India lastet deep into the nineties and because I want to spare a star for Khabi Khushi Khabi Gham, which is in my opinion still the best Hindi movie ever.
