As a story about terrorism it is perhaps the most effective. Just for the story, I would place it in the same category as Gulazrs maachis I can understand perfectly why Mr L K Advani arranged special screenings of this movie for foreign audiences.
But such a story should have an extremely tight script. It should not have so many songs. Besides, the leading lady should have been given a slightly more significant role in the story (remember Roja?).
The songs are ordinary -- far from memorable and hence they appear like distractions. They dont mesh with the story.
