Indian melodrama. Classic Bollywood really isn't my niche, and the fact that most of these films are overbearingly long doesn't help them either. Pure One is colorful, I'll give it that, but that's about the only positive thing I have to say about it. And even that part isn't all that impressive.
The musical numbers are terrible, the story is drab, and the performances are mediocre at best. The pacing is glacial too, though that's probably because I didn't care for any of it. Fans of Bollywood cinema will no doubt find something to love here, as the foundations of current Indian cinema are already present here, but this simply isn't for me.
