This kind of film is best termed ‘passé’. It shows a filmmaker’s refusal to change with the times. The result- it is bound to meet the same fate as that of some of his contemporaries in recent times. It is unnecessarily long, dragging, and boring. But this does not take away from the fact that he has managed to extract a good performance from his cast. Having said that let us add that Yash Chopra has never ever managed to make his heroines look so ordinary and non-alluring. Even the normally debonair looking Shah Rukh Khan is looking old and jaded. Ditto for Preity. One can't say much about Rani’s looks either. The only charming pair in the film is Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. The two make a rocking screen couple. In fact, their track is the best in the film. But unfortunately they are reduced to extended guest artists.
