I have to admit, firstly, that despite understanding the language, Indian films in general aren't what I watch given a choice. I only watched this one as it was on late one night on Channel 4. Although it started out in the same way as most bollywood fare to begin with, it turned suddenly and from then it had my attention. With absolutely nothing in the way of the melodramatic song and dance routines so commonly found in Indian cinema coupled with two of the better young actors as the principals it actually kept me guessing as to where it would inevitably go. Well not guessing as such but the pace at least kept me watching. So if you're still a newbie to bollywood cinema, watch this and then, unfortunately, its pretty much downhill from there!
