A Still from 'Chand Sa Roshan Chehra'

How the lovers reunite in the true sense forms the crux of the story. We wonder what happens to these bold girls when it comes to fighting for their love. Why do they suddenly become meek instead of fighting for their rights. Jiya even goes to the extent of telling her fiancé that she could be forced to marry him but she will continue to love Raj. Why doesn’t she just break off the engagement? The film is very slow-paced and regressive. Somehow the love story lacks fire.

Now for the performances. Tamanna is irritating in the first few scenes but slowly settles down and acts better in the second half. She looks better in Indian outfits. Kiran Kumar is fine. Talat Aziz doesn’t have much to do. Himani Shivpuri (as the music teacher) is efficient. Dilip Thadeshwar doesn't get much scope. Jatin-Lalit's music is good but there is an abundance of songs. At least two or three songs could be easily dropped. It’s chances at the box office seem bleak what with no sex or skin show to make up for the drab pace of the film.
