Mediocre movie

Have just seen Henna and it does not date very well. The story has been better told before and since (Refugee; Veer Zaara; Earth) and Henna is clichéd and predictable. Zeba seems clumsy in the dance scenes although she has some charm - too bad the direction, acting and choreography is so poor. I usually like RK Films but Randhir Kapoor could not match his father's hand in direction (Prem Granth was a little better because of Madhuri's performance). And poor Ashwini Bhave had to wear those awful clothes in those earlier scenes. And Chintu in those white pants (Yes I know it was the fashion at the time but it made his butt look even bigger). The village scenes were quite pretty although marred by a hackneyed script My 5 out of 10 is a sympathy vote considering that it is 15 years old.

A Gem by the Goat RAJ KAPOOR

This film is truly a gem of bollywood and indian cinema. Rishi Kapoor's romantic films are always a treat to watch, as well as his all other films. His presence in any film makes the film worth watching.

Before SRK and after Dev Anand, Rishi Kapoor is the king of romantic muscial films.

This one is sure a classic film and a must watch. Beautiful story, beautiful scenery, the innocence of the lead actress and the way they show the love blossoming is cute too.

The film is 3 hours long, and I guarantee you won't realize when the 3 hours went by. I just got lost in the film that I lost track of time.

All in All, a must must must must must watch film for everyone.

Best plot ,scenes, music and acting

Movie is heart touching it shows beauty of kashmir , a must watch movie.

A good movie

My dad made me watch this movie with him, and I wasn't expecting anything too awesome. I was clearly surprised AND delighted with this movie, i liked the story-line and the acting.. it was both funny and touching.

Zeba Bakhtiar was cute and she did a great job in the some-what lead role.

What was truly remarkable w/ this film was the amazing use of color, it was very vibrant and in-your-face.. some scenes were so elaborate, it was kind of like the Moulin Rouge.

Anyway, this was a great film, I'd recommend it to everyone!

Evergreen Movie - Will be loved for decades!

Music - Each and every song stand out as winner. Lata Mangeshkar voice will haunt you for days after you have watched the movie. Title song, Anar Dana, Chithiye, Jaanewale, Der Na Ho Jaaye, etc stuck in your heart for long.

Movie - And talking about the acting, direction, cinematography, I must say each department has done a fantastic job. Zeba Baktiyar steals your heart with her cute and selfless love. Obviously she is the main character. There are plenty of morals you can enrich from the movie. A must watch I must say.

P.S: I personally think that this movie inspired Kabir Khan to make Bajrangi Bhaijaan which released in 2015.
