OK.........this has been the most over rated movie of recent times. Albeit, kajol looks good, and aamir is amazing (as usual), the kid is really cute, and the cinematography breathtaking...........but the movie still lacks punch. I went in for the movie expecting a lot, and came out laughing because it turned out to be so predictable. The initial bits in Delhi were very well done. The movie moves at a quick pace, and for everone who likes Delhi, you'll love these parts. Aamir unfortunately looks old, and his shers get tiring after the first 5 or so, but overall it is quite enjoyable. Just before the interval, when Aamir's true identity is revealed, the movie takes a turn to the over the top "main hoon na" or "men in black" type story line. It actually becomes quite amusing at times. As soon as he starts looking good, the story goes down the chute. Reminiscent of "behind enemy lines" the snow chase sequence just didn't fit into the movie. Being glorified as a terrorist just didn't go down too well with me. The saving grace in the movie, and probably the only memorable scene after the interval was the one in which they have the small antakshari exchange, and he tells her who he is. The "climax" lacks impact, and simply fizzles out. It was a fitting end to a pretty much, forgettable movie. The background music was very powerful, and the songs fitted quite well into the movie. I enjoyed them a lot more than when I first listened to them My advise,watch the movie............only for the acting. Expect nothing from the story, and you won't be disappointed. ENJOY!!
