One wished and hoped that this would be a masterpiece, not just for Aamir Khan's sake but for director Rakyesh Mehra too! But unfortunately this one is a not so happening film. What may see the film through the first few days will be the presence of Aamir and of course the hype and controversy around the film.

The major problem with the film is that the first and second halves don't jell. The first half reminds one of 'Dil Chahta Hain' while the second half is 'Bhagat Singh'. Now how does one relate the two films together? In a way the film is old wine packaged in a new bottle sorts.

To give credit to the maker, the idea of the film is brilliant but just badly executed. It's an original but badly told story.
