This movie came out in 2004 and I didn't watch it till 2012. Only because I heard everyone say that it's boring and pathetic. And it wasn't a hit when it came out it flopped badly. Since the first time I saw it in 2012 till today in 2020, I have seen this a dozen times and it still hurts. I only curse myself why didn't I watch it sooner, probably because I didn't have the maturity at that age to understand this kind of cinema. This movie hits where it hurts. An absolute brilliant cinematic experience. No one else could have portrayed the character the way SRK did. Just fabulous, this kind of acting is why SRK is aptly called King of bollywood. The story, the acting, the music and the basic root level issues of our country are so beautifully brought out in this piece of art. It's just amazing. A must watch to know what Indian cinema is capable of.
