About

If you enjoy big, emotional romances about love versus family expectations—with music, comedy, and high-stakes tension—this is a classic; Not for you if you dislike long runtimes or older, sometimes dated courtship; similar to Veer-Zaara and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Pros: beloved classic romance; catchy songs; strong performances | Cons: very long runtime; dated relationship moments; melodramatic at times
