About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a big, emotional love triangle with lots of music, comedy, and drama, in the spirit of Veer-Zaara or Dil To Pagal Hai; Not for you if you dislike lengthy runtimes or heightened melodrama.

Pros: emotional romance; memorable songs; lavish dance sequences | Cons: very long runtime; heavy melodrama; some implausible turns
