This is quintessential Bollywood cinema. If you've never seen a Bollywood film and have no clue what the fuss is all about, you should start with this one. It features two of its biggest stars, it runs through every genre imaginable, there's song and dance and the film lasts a good three hours. It's a delight if you like Bollywood cinema.

If you don't, this is three hours of sugarcoated torture. The performances are childish, the songs are horrid, and the mix of genres is tiring (adding way too much to the runtime). It's like watching a bad soap opera condensed into a three-hour film. For fans only, but that goes for most Bollywood films.
