About

If you enjoy big, tear-jerking romances with music, patriotism, and a hopeful message about love beyond borders, this should land well; Not for you if you dislike melodrama, long runtimes, or far-fetched plot turns like in Kal Ho Naa Ho.

Pros: heartfelt cross-border romance; strong emotional pull; memorable songs | Cons: long runtime; some implausible turns; uneven courtroom logic
