Vijay Bhatnagar

It is the story of life itself. Every individual can identify with many of the incidents shown in the life of the characters. It shows many truths which are applicable universally. A superb emotional roller-coaster experience.

It is a series high on sets, costumes, visuals even acting but low on story. First two episodes are totally confusing with introduction of so many characters it becomes difficult to keep track of who is who. From third episod some clarity starts emerging in the storyline and it promises to be a gripping climax. But in the second last episode the plot starts to unravel and in the final episode it falls flat. Tawaifs turn into freedom fighters overnight marching with mashals in hand. As to the period sought to be depicted less said the better. In the pre-partition days (1940s) Lahore communal situation was explosive. Hindu Muslim riots were common place. Overwhelming majority of Muslims were busy with realization of their dream of Pakistan under the inspiring leadership of Jinnah. But Mr Bhansali wants us to believe that muslims were fighting for freedom of the country; some may be, but most were fighting for Pakistan.

An outstanding movie. Tops in all departments viz story, acting, direction, casting etc. Must watch.

A totally meaningless and mindless movie. Hundreds of people are butchered with machine guns in Delhi and Scotland but no police is to be seen. Life goes on nonchalantly for these butchers. To call them animals is in fact to demean animals. Only word that would describe their behavior accurately is "deranged". Only redeeming feature of the movie is the performances of Randhir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor which are superb. Randhir has acted out the role of a deranged person to perfection.

A highly watchable and realistic thriller. Superb in all departments viz. Direction, acting, editing etc.

Superb emotional drama. Must watch.

Excellent production. Unbelievable sets of the period and performances. Must watch.
