Despite its candy-hued costumes, hyperbolic acting, sudden lapses into song, and mystical context (all Bollywood staples), it lacks "Lagaan's" sweep, humor, and colorful characters.

What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Even with the requisite melodrama, it's a rollicking, optimistic movie.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
This is a splendid example of contemporary Bollywood in which a director's sophisticated style and vision have been brought to bear on the beloved conventions of popular Hindi cinema.
New York Post by Megan Lehmann
Vivid visuals can't save an insipid plot.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Has a lavish ceremonial gloss. It is also a very erotic movie.
