Shyamalan does it again. Often I have not felt the impact of his movies until I have walked out of the theatre and sat thinking about later on. I was bit skeptic as to how can he pull off an Alien invasion movie, which is more of a popcorn movie theme, but he has done it brilliantly. It's not so much about Aliens, but more about human fear and faith and it's brilliantly executed. Don't go and see this movie expecting a Spielberg-like suspense thriller, it's deeper than that. Fear of Alien invasion has never been so realistically portrayed before.

I have a mixed feeling about this movie. The plot itself was refreshing, and performance by the actors were fairly decent, though it seems to have suffered because of the prolonged production time. The movie sort of fits little bit in the mid-90's feel (if it was made today, the title song would probably have been shot in Switzerland or some other scenic location rather than in some dry grassland in India - this was disappointing). The songs list could have been lot better as there is was a good selection on the CD but unfortunately some really bad numbers made it to the movie instead. Nevertheless, it's enjoyable if you don't set your expectations too high. Should provide for some interesting debates for newly weds!

This movies sucks big time! Though people might have high expectations from Subhash Ghai, even by normal standards, this movie is horrible. Not only that, the blatant product placements is very insulting, imagine watching a commercial for Coke or 'Paas-Paas' in the movie itself!
