This movie is result of combination of perspiration and genius of top three movie makers of India: Mani Ratnam, Ram Gopal Verma, and Shekhar Kapoor. Gulzaar, Farha Khan and A.R. Rehmaan too have poured their heart out.

Mani Ratnam has used the special style of story telling where the dialogues in beginning of the movie that may not be as meaningful at that time, make complete sense when the movie is over. To truly appreciate the tragedy, you have to see the movie twice.

Another great aspect of the movie is that the experience and expertise of the three tenors of the Indian Cinema comes to forefront in the movie.

Mani Ratnam's experience from 'Bombay' and 'Roha', allows him to tell a tale wrapped in rainbow of emotions, and you will feel everyone of them. His expertise in projecting a moral message in commercial cinema is amazing.

Ram Gopal Verma's understanding of technical situations, and suspense building give the movie a unique feeling of a suspense thriller.

Shekhar Kapoor brings his experience of directing 'Bandit Queen', and the Shakespearean tragedy that can be sensed throughout the movie, even during its most beautiful and romantic moments, explodes in the end.

Shahrukh Khan has played his role to perfection of a good guy falling in love and then losing his innocence as the plot unfolds.

Manisha should have won an Oscar for her performance. The struggle in her between joy and innocence of youth and desire for love, and between the tragic pain and dark memory that she is not able to erase is projected by her in way that no matter how cold hearted you are, you will feel what she is feeling.

You can feel the power of love!
