With this movie ended the career of one of Bollywood's greatest. Yash Chopra has given us many great films such as Deewar, Silsila, Kabhie Kabhie, etc. But this movie pretty much forced him into retirement. His first movie of the 90s was Lamhe which was a complete flop, whereas his second movie, Darr, would also have been a disaster if not for Shahrukh Khan. When this film was released it became apparent that the man had completely run out of ideas. It's your typical boy meets girl scenario in which nothing happens for three hours except for dancing and singing and overacting and lack of acting and phony complications until we get to a well-executed climax. Shahrukh plays - drum roll please....himself! He's good in most of the scenes except when it counts, in which case he goes completely over the top. Akshaye Kumar has really nothing to do until the end, meaning he does nothing. Karishma Kapoor is pretty good although her role isn't really that difficult. The only one really worth watching is Madhuri who hits all the right notes and tries her best to save this "film". There are two good songs: the title track, and "Are re". The latter one is the standout. All in all it's a style-over-substance thing, sure to make teenage girls go wild and win all the top awards, which it did. 4 out of 10. It will be interesting to see what Yash does for his comeback film.
