Has a lavish ceremonial gloss. It is also a very erotic 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 Daily News by Jami Bernard
Even with the requisite melodrama, it's a rollicking, optimistic movie.

Village Voice
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.

Vivid visuals can't save an insipid plot.
