I caught this film on a late night showing on TV and quickly became engrossed in it. Not understanding a word of Hindi, the subtitles were essential but reading them was hardly a chore. The film was bright and witty and carried you along effortlessly.

The plot follows an Indian Army Major sent back to college as a (mature) student to protect the daughter of the Brigadier whose life is threatened by a terrorist. He is also looking for his half-brother, another college student. The terrorist wishes to sabotage peace negotiations between India and Pakistan after 55 years of turmoil.

This film follows the traditional form for Bollywood with a series of songs and dance scenes but it also contains an interesting plot, moral dilemmas both personal and national, good acting and some impressive matrix-style action.

A good introduction to the genre for those of us who don't speak Hindi.
