You don't need to understand Hindi to enjoy this movie
6 April 2000
If you know how to suspend disbelief, you will enjoy this movie. It was my first Hindi movie and I saw it in India. It was GREAT!! I don't normally enjoy musicals, but this was an exception. The singing & dancing were terrific. The title song is a big hit in India. The movie didn't look much like the India I saw, but the cinematography was excellent, and the sound was Dolby Digital (Indians like their movies loud). I could follow the storyline even though I understand no Hindi. It helped that there was a smattering of english throughout the movie. I can't wait to see it again with subtitles. Apparently most Indian movies have the same plot, singing, and dancing, so if you have seen a lot of these movies, it may not excite you like it did me, but I thought it was a well made (slick comes to mind), well acted, and a well produced piece of "Bollywood". The producer introduced his son with this picture, and he has become the heartthrob of India. I'm not good at analyzing movies so I'll finish by just saying, I came out of the theater with a smile on my face, and a tune in my head. This movie was FUN!
