'Kisna' is a love story of a different kind! The visuals, the songs, and background score add to its charm and make it special. The songs are superbly picturised.

Although it is a love story, it is refreshingly different and well handled by director Subhash Ghai. On the face of it, it might seem to move very slowly but credit has to be given to the man for unfolding his magnum opus on screen so brilliantly. A lesser director could have easily faltered.

The effort gone into the making of the film comes through. So does the sincerity of the maker and his conviction about the film. The film scores in all these areas.

A young Indian, Kisna (Vivek Oberoi), defies his family and shields a British girl, Katherine (Antonia Bernath), who is also his childhood friend, from an enraged mob of nationalists. Catherine happens to be the young daughter of a ruthless British Deputy Commissioner (Michael Maloney). The Indians attack the Commissioner's house and Kisna takes it upon himself to save Catherine from their clutches.
