A larger than life canvas of beautiful sets and people in their finery. A soulless story with partition at the backdrop. You wont understand how Alia n Varun can fall in love in the circumstances shown and make the movie worth watching. You expect a lot from a movie which wants to say so much about love but never reaches there. There are only dialogues and dialogues ( few of them were such nice pieces of poetry) between the characters, but no connect at all. All you can see n hear are conversations till eternity which tend to bore you. Such opulent and extravagant sets make you wonder whether an Indian town had such richness during 1940s. Alia, Varun n Aditya couldnt do good to a sordid screenplay. And Madhuri has never looked this old. Sad. Nevertheless, wasted my time on this one. A tighter script with lesser dialogues and melodrama could have made it watchable. Cant give more than 2 stars to this one.
