About
Movie:
|
|
Nandini (Aishwarya Rai) is the daughter of classical singer
Darbar (Vikram Gokhale). Sameer (Salman Khan) is half-Indian
settled in Italy who comes to his homeland to learn music
from Nandini's father. Games, pranks, and light revelry mixed
with marriage sequences, kite-flying festivals, etc. make
up most of an imminently enjoyable first half. Towards the
end of the first half enters Vanraj (Ajay Devgan), a family
associate of Darbar. He falls in love with Nandini seeing
her at some occasion. Sameer is about to declare his love
but he learns that Nandini is to be married to someone else
as per her father's decision. In accordance with family traditions
Nandini gets married to Vanraj but at heart she still loves
Sameer (Salman). Within a few days of there wedding Vanraj
comes to know that Nandini loves not him but Sameer and he
decides to give back her lover and helps Nandini.
The second half of movie shows the struggle of a husband to
give away his wife to someone she loves and draws to a climax
not easily predictable. Helen features in a small role as
Salman's Italian "Hindi-speaking" mother

Aishwarya
is prefect as the hot-tempered, out spoken and stunningly beautiful
Nandini. She is even brilliant in her dancing. Salman Khan has
got a normal lover role but unlike his other movies he has done
a few emotional scenes is a praiseworthy way. Ajay Devgan also
puts in as a very fine restrained performance in one more serious
role. Music and cinematography are excellent. In fact after
the movie is over the scenic beauty of movie lingers for a long
time in your mind. The songs are already a great hit. Whether
it is the slow, nice song "Hum Dil de chuke sanam" or the loud
music of "Dholi taro", they are worth listening many times.
After the boring movie "Khamoshi" Sanjay Leela Bhansali comes
with a heart throbbing movie worth praising. However, movie
definitely has flaws. The major one being its length; even with
the high production values we find a bit long. This movie has
got a direct effect on your heart and so keep your 'kerchiefs'
ready! For the rest, the music & fine performance by the lead
players attracts a big crowd to the theatre.
Worth seeing movie in theaters. Super hit movie of 1999. |
