Let me first give some positives - the movie boasts of some great performances by the entire cast. The scenes of Shahrukh and Amitabh Bachchan are very strong and extremely well executed - some of the best lines in the movie are right here. The cinematography is excellent. Songs are breezy and hummable. In my opinion, the sole weakness lies in the excessive stress on love and the seeming ultimate rejection of discipline. In reality one needs both. Love without discipline is not right,likewise, discipline without compassion is unacceptable. The movie shows both extremes well, however the mega-speech of the mega-stars seems unable to convey this balance; if only this was better worded, better framed, the movie would have made a much stronger impact.
