A Still from 'Barsaat'

Considering his father's illness forced him to return to India, there is no mention of that later. Arav rushes to India without even having time to meet Anna, so where did he have time to buy gifts for his family? How can a man conveniently forget the fact that he's married (even if it's unhappily married!) when he meets another girl abroad?

By the way in this modern age, do people in small towns fix up their kids' marriages when they are mere ten-year-olds? It seems very outdated! There are too many unnecessary songs that slacken the pace of the film. The music is lackluster. The film lacks fire.

The three main characters are subdued. Whatever attempt at humour, falls flat! Bobby Deol looks good and seems to have put in an effort. Bipasha looks alluring in some scenes and vampish in the others. She seems too artificial and made up and looks out of character as a girl in love. Her acting is nothing to write about. Priyanka irritates in places when she tries to overdo her bubbly act. Overall a below average film.
