Sandeep Kumar Mitra

A Captivating performance by SRK, Manisha Koirala and Preity Zinta... A Musical Magic by A. R. Rehman... A Masterpiece by Mani Ratnam... A prominent presence of ace thespians like, Zohra Sehgal, Raghubir Yadav, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Piyush Mishra, Arundhati Nag, Mita Vashisht and Aditya Srivastava, makes the piece of work even more classy... The music is psychedelic with a resonance of sufism, that makes it trippy (specially when the industry was still transitioning to Digital Music)... Hats Off!!! Overall, the movie induces a hallucinatory effect that is enthralling... The failure of the movie, at box office, may be attributed to it's wrong timing... Testing a concept in an era when love stories were predominant, was a risky venture... Perhaps the movie could have done better, in terms of footfall, if released just a couple of years back from now... Personally, its one of my favorite movies!!!
