A still from Kisna

Now for the performances. Antonio is the best of the lot. She is endearing as well as stunning with a vulnerable face and has great acting talent. She is a scene-stealer.

Vivek Oberoi is restrained and good. He suits the character.

The other newcomer, Isha Sharvani, does not get much scope for performance but displays her dancing abilities well. She also seems confident for a newcomer.

Amrish Puri as the evil uncle is good in a brief role. Watching him on screen makes one feel more for the loss of one of our brilliant actors. But how one wishes his character was more etched out like Mogambo's and thus immortalized his last celluloid presence.

Sushmita Sen dazzles in a scene that seems like something taken straight out of Mughal-e-Azam. It is good relief. Polly Adams, as the old Catherine, is very good. Om Puri seems wasted in an insignificant role. Yashpal Sharma makes an impact. Hrishita Bhatt is her usual bubbly self.

The film is sure to meet with mixed reactions and will appeal to the Indian audience with a different sensibility. It will surely appeal to the older audience as well as the NRIs.

**** (FOUR STARS)
