This movie is one of the best movies ever made in Bollywood.The passion,love,emotion,energy everything is sublime.One of the best performances by Shahrukh Khan and Manisha Koirala.Their love story resembles to that of Romeo and Juliet, just here the context is different.Preity Zinta plays her part good too, the conversation she makes with Shahrukh when they go for lunch are relevant and fresh even today, asking him about his 'virginity', telling him about 'skp'-shaadi ke pehle, and she looks very cute in this movie. Manisha Koirala is charming.This movie deals with insurgency, terrorism,love.The songs are beautiful and of finest quality.I recommend everyone around the world,film critics,movie buffs to watch it,behold it and cherish and relish this finest and sublime cinematic work by Mani Ratnam.This movie is world class and contends with the finest movies ever made around the world in every aspect.The energy and passion it carries,just carries you along with it to a different dimension and world.The eternal love, flames of fire of love and oppression give you a different and formidable perspective of your mortal life and conscience.
