I actually thought where he messed up is that he has neither here nor there. This movie is pretty much targeted at the intellegentia - if i may call them that. I cant recall a movie where a kid is knocked off in the 2nd half etc. This is inherently a sad movie - a saaransh on steroids is what I termed it as ;-). Where i disagree with you entirely is SRK's acting. This is a bravura performance and ranks among the top 3 in hindi movies for me. For that alone this deserves a 8 on 10Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31075923.post-83841146933882269832010-02-25T10:59:04.571+05:302010-02-25T10:59:04.571+05:30my problem with these movies is the length.

Am glad you liked SRK's performance - it was good but not good enough for me to overcome the plot loopholes and the meandering, unrealistic 2nd half<br /><br />thx<br />ApurvApurv Nagpalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264478278944585815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31075923.post-13239629261472744212010-02-14T20:04:42.971+05:302010-02-14T20:04:42.971+05:30I saw the movie and fell in love with SRK all over...I saw the movie and fell in love with SRK all over again..he is brilliant, endearing and totally lovable in the film and kudos to karan johar too. And i dont see the need to make comparisons with any other films - hollywood or bollywood...each movie needs to be watched and appreciated as an independent attempt not with the mindset of comparisons or benchmarks..i think your score of 5/10 is very unfair esp since in the past a lot of below average films have got similar ratings..Montshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923401028946202261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31075923.post-62875321453020503052010-02-14T19:43:10.409+05:302010-02-14T19:43:10.409+05:30We are used to two types of reviews mainly.

Thanks for following none. <br />I haven't yet seen the film, but with KJo as directer things can go over the top, specially towards the end. <br />I am a huge SRK fan. So might come back and comment again after watching the film :)Sumit Suraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107173398239566168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31075923.post-31750335046698719552010-02-14T16:56:12.945+05:302010-02-14T16:56:12.945+05:30thanks, Deepti
