Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
silvan-desouza Mahesh Bhatt made 3 films on Parveen Babi,first being ARTH(1982) which was a great film,then PHIR TERI KAHAANI YAAD AAYI(1993) and finally WOH LAMHE. The film brought back Shiny Ahuja and Kangana after GANGSTER the same year. The film is a fictitious take on the love story of Bhatt and Babi directed by Mohit Suri. It starts off superbly though the panty scene could be avoided, yet otherwise the love story is smoothly narrated, the breakdown scenes are awesome, the second half does drag a bit but yet the scene when Kangana finds a bug in their room is awesome, The climax too is awesome but there are flaws like it's not explained what happened to Sana after running away? Also the end is different from real life but afterall we should watch it as a fiction.Direction by Mohit Suri is awesome Music is superb,Chal Chale is the best song,Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai is awesome too, Tu jo Nahin is an underrated song and is superbShiny Ahuja was an upcoming talent those days and he does a great job in his role, Kangana Ranaut is superb, few actresses can play such a complex character so well, except her diction she is superb Shaad Randhawa made an effective debut, Purab Kohli is superb as Shiny's friend,Masumeh is terrific too in her small role,rest are okay
Herag Halli This movie is similar to "Khoya Khoya Chand" both starring Shiny Ahuja and both based on two actresses who led a disturbed and or disillusioned life and both ending in a untimely death. Ahuja, is one good actor-period. Even though this movie is well made "KKC" is a classic, with great vintage scenes,incredible music and acting (Soha Ali Khan). This movie is based on the life of Parveen Babi, an actress who was hounded, used and dumped by the "Filmi Types" that drove her to a spiritual solace. She would be alive today, if not for her proclivity for seclusion and lack of a close knit family (she died alone, unseen and uncared for behind locked doors at the tender age of 55.) What is depicted in the movie is close to the paranoid behavior that was exhibited by a person who was probably under dire threat to her life and not mental illness that was wrongly attributed to her. Yes, the Film Industry is perfectly capable of branding a person insane, to the extent the world believed it to be a fact. Her last interview in 2002, she dodged these very questions directly and her answers were not indicative of an insane person. Few of her paranoia's were real and few were exaggerated (because she was ignored?). Either way, she is brilliantly portrayed on the screen, by Kangana Ranaut. Both Ahuja and Ranaut, are casting coup for Mahesh Bhatt, who is in the upper echelon of good Indian directors (and so is his daughter Pooja Bhatt). The movie makes us to believe that one person took advantage of her, but in real life, quite a few sinister types took advantage of her, but the last boy friend, was the one who tipped her mental scale. She spent most of her time trying to get even with the real threat (that was construed as imagined?) There was no threat from a woman as this movie leads up to believe. This is a sad and poignant movie. The best line in the movie is when Sam says to Aditya, "My type's can easily get over this-but what are you going to do?" which, very much sums up the value and sentiments of Real Life vs Reel life and Good vs Evil.
dolphin2687 first of all i was not interested in watching the movie .i thought what is going to be special it is going to be just another love story but later when i saw the movie i thought this is one of the best movies .thank god i did not miss such a wonderful movie.the story is a real life story about an actress and a director."kangana" plays the actress and "shiney" the director the love for each other and the affection they share will be amazing.their on screen chemistry was very good the way it is picturised is outstanding."kangana" and "shiney" who played the lead were mind blowing.there are no words to describe their acting skills.the music of the film was too good the songs were very pleasant.they were apt for the situations.overall the film is wonderful
shabzy_98 I've just finished watching this movie and honestly the film has surprised me its not the usual story that you see in Bollywood, Loosely based on the relationship of Mahesh Bhatt and the late Parveen Babi. The lead actors Kangana and Shiny portray the roles maturely and it makes u believe and see how full of two faced people the showbiz business is. Sana a popular actress in the film industry has everything until her manager Nikhil rapes her and abuses her when she declines his work orders etc she then sees him with another woman, enter Adi (Shiney Ahuja) a struggling director who at a party gets the attention of the actress by insulting her and her ego... Then time goes Nikhil gets jealous when Sana does Adi's film then love blossoms between the two but at first she disagrees to the movie but since her mother needs the money she agrees this annoys sanas manager nikhil. The actress then realises how she is being used and hurt and all this pain and anger makes u go mad and she gets schizophrenic starts seeing a girl named rani who taunts sana 24/7. Just near the ending sana accepts the fact that she is ill but doesn't face it so she commits suicide... This film is worth a watch but its not for the faint hearted. The soundtrack is impressive and it goes with the movie the track Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai is good.
