Most overrated film in bollywood history

[deleted]

And if you removed the songs (which would be a major detraction) then the movies would be the same length as Hollywood's. So the question is: do you want musical numbers? For me, Bollywood means musicals. Others have complained about the music.

Bali-wood is learning the same lesson Hollywood learned:

- Aim for the lowest IQ, to reap the largest audience & biggest profit



Intellectually stimulating movies may make great art, but they go right over the heads of the working man... and as a result, earn little money.

I don't care if it's a pop-corn flick or a deep art house film. You are still going to have character study, arc etc.

I personally think that this movie was quite good for the time it came out in. Therefore, I don't believe it is overrated. It is simplicity that appealed to the Indian and NRI audience alike. Songs being nice were just an added benefit.

The Plot:

It was a different plot in the sense of claiming Europe to be Europe and the second half was shot in India. This plot has been copied several times by movies with Salman Khan in it and hasn't been successful.

The Chemistry:

SRK and Kajol did a very great job in this movie. SRK is a good actor but tends to overact in a lot of other movies like KKHH where all he did was overact (to date, in my opinion, his best performances are in SWADES, DIL SE and KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA)

The Family Angle:

Amrish Puri played the perfect father's character. Farida Jalal also did an amazing job by playing the wife who supressed her dreams and the loving mother. Anupam Kher was perfect as the funny and emotional father. Several other characters like Parmeet Sethi and Satish Shah did a great job as well (compared to the latter's average performance in so many flicks).

The First Attempt:

This was Aditya Chopra's first job and boy, did he do a good job. I think he never managed to create more magic than this movie. I watched his MOHABATTEIN and then K3G by Karan Johar. Nothing comes close to this.

The Songs:

A haunting Lata Ji and Udit along with Asha Ji gave life to the amazing soundtrack of this movie. Playful songs like : Ruk Jaa Dil Deewane.., Romantic Songs like: Tujhe Dekha To.. Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko to Pyaar Sajna.. and Sentimental songs like: Ghar aaja pardesi ... gave the movie the musical touch that made it a hit instantly. I still remembering purchasing my tape first in 1995, followed by the audio CD, VCD and finally DVD :-)

I think it was and will be SRK and Kajol's best pairing to date and the movie made an impact by keeping the heroine's clothes intact (except the 'Mere Khwabon me jo aaye' song), providing amazingly shot songs, beautiful comic timing (consider the sequences in Paris, in the Horse shed and the encounters with future father-in-law), emphasizing on return to motherland and family values (and their importance) and last but not the last, the romance. I don't know about the others but it will go down as one of my favorite movies :-)
