About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic Bollywood romantic musical packed with memorable songs, dance numbers, and a destiny-tinged love triangle; Not for you if you dislike musicals or slow, overlong romances like Veer-Zaara.
Pros: catchy songs and dances; glossy, feel-good romance; strong lead performances | Cons: thin, confusing story; overlong and sluggish; cheesy, uneven dialogue
