This movie is different for Shahrukh Khan because of many non-commercial elements in the plot. The Acting of Shahrukh khan is one of his bests of all time. Ashutosh Gowarikar executed the direction and screenplay with a good blend of songs and emotions. AR Rahman cannot be compared to any of the present generation music directors and I would give him a bow for his music and background score in this movie. He asserted that he is a legend of Indian cinema music. Gayathri Joshi showed natural expressions and really simple&beautiful in this movie. Some great scenes like kid selling water cups, haridas who is mocked by the society on regard of his caste, old woman expressing grief for no one caring about them in the ashram etc are overwhelming. Over all it's purely Indian and fresh movie.
