Being an avid reader, I generally do not enjoy the movies made out of the books. I prefer reading the book rather than watching the movie. But, this is ONE BIG exception. I definitely LOVED the movie more than the book.

Kudos and a BIG thanks to Shekhar Kapur for such an amazing movie. I can never get bored watching this movie, might shed a tear as well at the superlative narration of the story. The acting by all the characters is just apt, no one goes overboard, in fact nothing does. And the music, some of my all-time favorites belong to this movie.

Well done and thanks again.
