This is definitely one of the very few movies which have lived up to their surrounding hype and hooplah!!!
Everything is just so grand. From the jewellery to the sets to the fight sequences...to the delicate but compact storyline...even after 3.5 hours...you would still want to movie to go on forever!!
And ladies oh ladies!!.....when Akbar goes "khabardar!!...yeh mat bhooliye ki aap mallika-e-hindustaan ke baare mein baat kar rahe hain"...can you help but swoon.....hritik’s flexing muscles during the sword practice is enough to last you for an year......or the tender foreplay scene with in lamhon ka daaman main playing in the backgroung would make your knees turn into jello while you are watching this with your boyfriend!!!
Khwaja mere Khwaja deserves special mention....I mean I had heard the song...and seen a part of it in the trailer.....but what the hell were all the critics swooning about...it was just ok....but things fell in place when I saw it in the movie....Rahman could not have chosen a better song to lend his voice to.....truly sung and shot from the heart...you can almost feel Jalal’s one-ness with God when he gets up and joins the dancing troop.....its feminine yet macho at the same time
Powerpacked performances by Ash and Hritik add the last feather to the Ashutosh’s already overburdened cap!!!...believe you...you would have never seen Ash or Hritik like this....hell I didnt even like Hritik that much before seeing this movie
I must admit....Lagan had failed to impress me (no boo-ing pls)....I found the movie to be bland....would have given it at max 3 stars.....but for this one....Ashutosh take a bow!!!
A must watch....they make such movies only once an year!!!!
