⭐ Featured Review

Over-the-top melodrama with outrageous caricatures. A disappointment
by long-ford2009-02-11

"I must admit I expected more from Raj Kumar Santoshi. While this film is being praised in some circles, I found it tedious and sermonizing. The acting is over-the-top, barring some fine work by Ajay Devgun. The actresses are all good woman oppressed by an unjust society. Almost all the male figures (barring our three heroes) are vicious caricatures. The scenes at Mahima's wedding are almost too much to bear. I understand the social value of such films, but surely they shouldn't be THIS black and white. Madhuri shines in a brief appearance and makes the proceedings partially palatable..."

This is first time Madhuri Dixit and Manisha Koirala worked together after their alleged rivalry in the 90's. Manisha was also supposed to work with Madhuri in Dil toh pagal hai but she opted out of the project.
