      This is form of art. Wonderful storyline, super acting by everyone. Salman charms you throughout the film, manisha makes you fall in love with her, and whatever I am going to say about couple Nana Patekar and Seema will be very little. People say Salman can't act or Salman doesn't do art films, well this is the film that will shut everyone's mouth. Sanjay Leela Bhansali Excels in his debut direction. Songs are addictive especially Aaj main upar and Baahon ke darmia. The cinematography of Baahon ke darmia is excellent.

      On the whole this is treat for movie lovers.

      Poignant and Heartwarming

      In this award-winning drama, Annie (Manisha Koirala) is the hearing daughter of a deaf couple, and finds herself divided between two worlds. When Raj (Salman Khan) arrives bringing romance and music, her life takes a new direction, and she is torn between her new love for Raj and her duty towards her parents.

      This is poignant and heartwarming film, with a strong message of faith and family. Some of the songs are particularly lovely. While both Koirala and Khan were good in their roles, the supporting cast of Helen, Nana Patekar, and Seema Biswas were fantastic. I highly recommend this lovely movie

      A Cinematic Masterpiece

      This film is a true masterpiece. Though it may seem slow-paced at first, especially for our fast-paced times, it profoundly touched my heart. It goes beyond just entertainment; the performances of these remarkable actors speak directly to the soul.

      Nana Patekar's portrayal is extraordinary, immersing himself so completely in the role that his expressions alone convey deep emotion. Manisha Koirala is equally impressive, bringing her character to life with grace and emotional depth. While I may not rewatch this film often due to my selective taste, its one-time magic and lasting impact make it a genuine work of art.

      Either you turn it off after 20mins, or you fall in love and remember it your whole life

      This is a beautiful film. But you have to watch it with an open mind and willingness to grasp whatever and wherever the story takes you. Its the story of a deaf and mute couple who give birth to girl who can listen n speak and later to a boy whose normal too. Its a progression of their story. But yeah this movie isn't for your normal Joe's who just want commercial entertainment as the narrative is slow to build. I can say its a film of emotions. Metaphorically and otherwise, as the couple's disability makes them converse through emotions. Its the type of film either you fell in love with, or you switch it off after 20mins or so. I belong to the former as this movie is so close to my heart as a film and also coz it gives me that nostalgic feeling of childhood as I was very young when it came.
