Much hype about what??, its just an average flick, far behind much less hyped but better made flicks like Main Aur Meri Biwi, Khosla ka Ghosla.

The performance were OK I would say Abhishek was good but nothing great about it, Mithun after a long time got a good role fitting for his enormously mostly wasted talent, Ash was good, the support cast has done a very good job, the music and cinematography are nice, but the story does not have the gravity and feel of a classic, Mani Ratnam has worked hard tough and you can easily tell that, its based on Dhirubhai Ambani's life, and is overall a average flick.

May watch on DVD.
