POORLY ACTED!!!

Overall it wasn't a bad movie but i thought if it wasn't for the legend that is Amitabh this film would be so bad!!!
He can make any movie good but the rest of them were quite useless except for a few minutes here and there.
Agree?

I agree. Salman was so loud and over the top. As was Om Puri. And some of the characters like Aman Verma and Parmeet Sethi just came in the end and shouted a few words. And while Hema Malini looked gorgeous for 58, her South Indian accent in a couple of scenes had the cinema going hysterical with laughter. But all in all I liked the movie... decent.

Yeh jeena bhi koi jeena hai lallu!

I totally agree with you,
15 minutes intersting moment for a 3 hours movie,
this is not enough at all.

Yeh it wasn't up to top standard.

But, I gotta say, there were some scenes which were amazing:

- The rani Kurva Chaut (or however its spelt) scene. That was really sad
- Smashing the mirror and screaming - very well acted
- The kid overall - excellent!
- The conflict at the end with amitabh and his brother over pushpa - loved it!

But, although i think John Abraham is quite good an actor, he wasnt right for this role - he doesnt suit rani that well - he's more for Bipasha and other raunchy actresses!

But its still an ok movie!

Yes the kid was amazing!!! 2 thumbs up for him. Rani and Amitabh were great. As much as I love love love Hema, she came off confused and I didn't like her acting in the last few scenes. This movie was Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. That kind of makes me upset, but over all I mean it was good but it wasn't really original. I am just tired of Salman doing movies that rip off SRK. He basically did the same thing with that movie dulhania le jayenge, I mean even the titles where basically the same. John, as sexy as he was, I don't know but he didn't win me over in this movie. He should have put in a lot more effort.

did yoy really see the film? Rani's acting was superb. your opinion is a prejudised sweeping statement.

In the end, Amitabh was the one who got all the credit.

omg.
i wasted 10 dollars
the first half i was like wth was this.. i thought .. rani would make this a good movie..but it was barely tolerable
i would have left.. if only my delusional mother would let me
me and my brother keept looking at my cellphone..for a minute i thought time wsant moving
ok
john abhram (spellingsorrg)was alright but not that good
salman khan was down right terrible
the whole movie before was just there..the only really acting u saw was amitabh..
ok.. rani rocks
her wardrobe wassss nasty
like i know they were going on a whole artsy loook but that was boderlilne grunge that didnt even look good
i could have been more tastefull honestly
im trying to convince my mother that this movie is crap..she doesnt want to think anything bad about salman khan
the kid was cute.. the only real good part
looked like a brown harry potter lol

I totally disagree with your comment, i think the film was acted extremelly well espcially from Amitabh, Rani and Hema. However i do think John could have given a better performance as he usually acts a lot better.

You go umar

I totally agree with you. This movie had top notch actors and they acted their neck off!
