    Fantastic!!!

    I love this movie! I supposed only a real fan of Madhuri and Sanjay can really say that. Every scene they were together was priceless. I just love seeing them together and that undeniable raw chemistry they have between them. Sanju waited some 3 yrs to see Madhuri again and it showed in this movie. My heart broke to pieces seeing the way Sanju look at her. I understand it was hard for Sanju to shoot this film and even that intensity showed out in few scenes. I absolutely love them. The music was great. The 3 dance numbers Madhuri did were wonderful... Loji Sunoji, Ek Taraf Akeli, Chule Chule. Even though the storyline was kinda redundant but over all I think it's definitely worth watching even to a non-fan of these two. As for me, it's pure heaven! To quote Sanju's word... "If only life is like movie".

    Excellent and lovable Movie

    This movie is the best film there will ever be in Bollywood. I have seen Mahaanta over 10 times. It has all the elements that a good movie must have: Excellent Dialogues, Music, Acting, Story/Plot. a story of friendship, courage and revenge. The camera work is flawless and grips you. The acting is inspired. Despite to have the famous actors and the great line story, it failed to win any major popular or critics awards. I am a real fan of Sanjay Dutt. a real fan of Madhuri Dixt too. Dutt was fantastic as always! Madhuri Dixt looks very beautiful and played her character very well. Amrish Puri was brilliant! He played his villain character extremely well. If you have't watched this movie,try it once, Do watch it.
