The plot is disjointed, haphazard, and over-long, while the camera work is often iffy. However, there were moments of cinematographic beauty along with an excellent soundtrack.

A beautiful film, with gorgeous colors, lavish sets, and graceful camera moves that take full advantage of the wide scope. The story avoids the Bollywood pitfall of trying to be everything to everyone: there's no dumb comedy, action or mystery scenes, just a straight romantic melodrama, with some glorious musical numbers. Unfortunately the songs were not subtitled in the version I saw. But I got the gist of it, and it's a moving and compelling story, with a strong central character.
