stylegamer A remake of the same movie in Tamil titled "Minnale".The film was not so successful during the time of its release in the year 2001, but has since developed a cult following on the internet. Most of the film contains the same exact scenes as its Tamil counterpart. However the hindi audiences were not ready for a different style of movie that itself was new in the original Tamil movie. Minnale was well received in the south because it appealed to Tamail sensibilities and tastes As compared to the original movie Minnale. the acting seems to be better especially the female lead role played by Diya Mirza compared to the Reema Sen in the original. Diya seems to be a more competent performer than Reema Sen and carries the film throughout with her excellent mannerisms and performance. However in this hindi remake, Madhavan seems to have faltered in his acting compared to the original Tamil version His performance at times comes off as over exaggerated or subpar. At times the screenplay and production seems to be rushed and greater care could have been taken in editing and production values. The film seems to have an early 90s style cinemtography and production values which seems out of place. Nevertheless, the on screen presence of Diya Mirza and her performance still is one of the best in Indian cinemaThe film itself contains a few unnecessary elements which are draggy and irrelevant to the central story.The soundtrack by Harris Jayaraj while being brilliant as it was int he original , it had been successfully and nicely dubbed from the original version without coming off as too much tamil s and avoided the problems which plague dubbed soundtracks of this sort from the South to North. overall the soundtrack is the bigest winner in this film.Overall a watcher for its presentation of couples in love.

mnrassasin One of the most brilliantly done romantic movies of Indian cinema. Brilliant work by R. Madhavan. The variety of emotions in each scene as the movie progresses defines the character more. The emotion between both develops gradually and not suddenly like in most of cliché love stories. The director does not attempt to potray a unrealistic character who is Mr.perfect but convincingly puts forth the truth in Maddy's emotions as they progress. Diya's role may seem less of an acting effort but blends perfectly with the intended personality of Reena. Hope this gem is treasured in every die hard romantic's list of all time favs.

tibetesque Projects the emotional immaturity of Indian youth. Especially through the comments and high rating for such a retarded story. Surprising that the script-writer could not be gutsy. Gutsy enough to write a more apt ending. By showing the complete rejection of a mentally disturbed and personally flawed character. for a well-educated, decent human being. My heart goes out to Indian women. if this is the choice the Indian society portrays as ideal for them. I am an Asian from neighboring country with conservative values. But I still can not relate to this. Please watch it as an insight into what is wrong with the Indian Society and Youth. Why India is lagging behind in every other field in the world. Because the time and priorities of people are so misplaced and skewed.

gagan-arora1 Although it wasn't a big movie when it came out and wasn't a successful one either. But, I got to see this movie in theater and I loved it throughout. It has emotional/comic romantic story and movie starts from college campus when our hero is about graduate and most of the story takes place after he passes out of college.I was amazed by madhavan's acting skills (and comic timing too) and diya's beauty. Perfect chemistry between the two and comic moments here and there in the movie keeps you engrossed throughout. Music and all the songs are superb and A-classAnother great revelation was Saif's character. He was in new avatar (as he was written off by then) and could easily be said to be his one of the finest comeback movie (though there is dil chahta hai) and now he is one of the biggest star in bollywood, he should be thankful to this role.I must have seen this move 100s time by now, it is so refreshing. When this movie came out, I was 18 then and was totally smitten by it.I love it. :)
