Mohabbatein Story - utter trash, ripoff of dead poet's society which is not that great a film IMO. The three cheesy love stories bore me to tears, the conflict between love and fear - what the hell?
Music - I like Aankhen Khuli, Humko Humise Churalo - that's it.
Acting - I need to break this up. Let us start according to age:
Amitabh - the worst caricature of a role and acting in his second innings.
Anupam Kher - ditto
Archana Puran Singh - ditto
Shahrukh - his best look and a really nuanced role, he deserved the critics choice award he got.
Aishwarya - one of her best roles..
Jimmy Shergill - decent
Jugal Hansraj - aw, he was in Masoom so I have a soft spot for him, but bad here, objectively speaking
Uday Chopra - my first flick with him, annoying as hell and to be avoided at all costs
The girls - all sucked big time!!
Why I would watch the film again? I would watch it to see SRK and Aishwarya act their hearts out, to listen to my two favorite songs, but ABOVE ALL - I would watch it for the dance SRK and gang do with Helen to a medley of her old songs. That is why I own the DVD.
It is sad indeed that Aditya Chopra followed DDLJ with this film - even SRK and Aish's fine acting couldn't polish up the dullness of this film.
