“This film is a brilliant and yet not so great a film. This film had its flaws, the story line got a bit too filmy in a few places, was not so practical… a few goofs here and there but in the end what I feel what matters is the overall feel and effect, where this film did very well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnalyzing this film, Rajkumar Santoshi does have a habit of touching an extreme, portraying a world with people who live either in the black or the white, he tends to leave out those who reside in the greys… That is where this film lacks in the story, that it is not practical.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the same point comes to his rescue when it comes to involving the audience in his film, it becomes much easier for a viewer to associate himself with an extreme.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe music was a part that got left out of the rain, had someone like AR Rahman done the music and the background score, the film would have got a lot more value added to it. The acting was good, with all those in the lead doing an exceptional job…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf one overlooks a few flaws this film surely makes for a great viewing, and surely does touch your heart!!!”
