A healthy, wholesome movie that you can watch with your entire family. Superb direction has brought out the best in the actors. Best of all, I loved the one-liners of the father: typical in a punjabi household...

Well, I'll be honest: It is not exactly a Sholay. But you cant get a Sholay every week. In fact, you could see distinct signatures of "not without my Daughter"(Sally Field, 1991) in this movie. However, as most "inspired" movies go, this one was a well-inspired one, well handled and well done. Nana Patekar, as usual, tends to overdo his hysterics, but all others are commendable. Specially so about Dipti Naval: Saw her after a long time, but she hasn't lost any of her grace. In fact, she has performed much better that when I last saw her. Another one of the Bollywood stars that seem to grow more beautiful as they age?

All in all, a nice watch.

Its been a long time since anybody last touched upon the "Old Fashioned" issue of Brain-drain. The film does, in places, look like the director picked up too many issues at the same time, but the net sum is a movie that is very, very inspiring and thought provoking. So if the proof of the lemon is in having it, this one definitely takes the cake. AR Rehman's music is definitely class. The cinematography is also excellent. I was particularly impressed by the way the Turbine shots were taken and edited. You can definitely find traces of Lagaan here and there. But I guess that is to be expected when half the team working on the project is the same. All in all a good movie.
