Just because there were tears, and he "loved" her, and she died, doesn't make it a love story. She was full of herself, a big tease, and played with his emotions because she liked the attention and his physique. Women need to know men like him rarely change permanently and they need to know the red flags to look for. He was a future wife beating drunkard and gambler in the making. This may be what Indian women are used to, thus the rave reviews, but not acceptable in other parts of the world. I gave it a rating of 4 because it kept my attention and it was beautifully filmed, otherwise no stars because it's irresponsible.
