I do not understand why this movie recieved so many awards. To base a movie on such famous and well-known tale is cliche. All I saw was a guy who's trying be Al Pacino, lead actress who can not act and NOT likable. (I know she's supposed to be blind, but what's up with Charlie Ch... read more

Good movie, good message but it has some flaws. It's like the Bollywood remake of ''The miracle worker (1962)''. Tough Its hard to call it a Bollywood movie... Its language is English. All Hindus in the movie are Christian. And there are no dance scenes !!!

Performances are some of the best in the Indian film industry. A box of tissues needed throughout the movie....you might even use the whole box!

At first, I thought it a bit too theatrical, but that tone or style calmed down after about 20 minutes and it became magical.
I am now a fan of Amitabh Bachman. He reminds me very m... read more
