Highly Overrated But Still Good

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Taal movie was a 1999 Bollywood musical romantic movie directed by Subhash Ghai.The film stars Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, Aishwarya Rai, Amrish Puri and Alok Nath.This movie shows the effects of true love. The theme of the movie is very attractive. Aishwarya rai did very well. The comedy scenes were good. Mid part of the movie was something average. Some sets are just amazing.end part of the movie creates suspense according to the views.Moreover, the song 'hum dil de chuke sanam' is fantastic song. The soundtrack of the film was composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics written by Anand Bakshi.Finally i rated this movie with 5 stars.

Taal is the Pride and Prejudice of Bollywood, times 100. She loves him, he loves her, but a series of irreparable misunderstandings separate them, and affects the course of their destiny. It is only upon looking deep into their hearts, and rejecting rationality, custom, family pressure and the likes, that they will realize how much they love each other. That, in fact, there was never a choice to be made (and all the hesitation, the tears and fires and fights were in vain), it was written that they were meant to be together. As typical Bollywood movies, the film contains Part 1 (growing love and broken promises) and Part 2 (revenge, faith and redemption), each about the length of a regular movie.In other words, Taal is your typical big budget Bollywood movie, along with Om Shanti Om and the likes. In this sense, it is Bollywood at its best since the big budget allows for truly over-the-top dance sequences and fantastic music.Quite frankly, if you are not a fan of kitsch nor Pride and Prejudice, this movie is not for you. Because Taal is all of that: a heart breaking romance set in a convoluted plot, sprinkled with a good dose of glitter and glamor. Perfect for pajama parties, to combat depression or for a night home alone. A Bollywood gem.

This is a long film with a very clichéd plot (rich boy loves poor girl but snooty parents object). The only reason to see this film is some decent acting by Amrish Puri and Akshaye Khanna, as well as some sweet songs, scored by AR Rehman. The lovely Aishwarya Rai is beautifully choreographed dancing to melodious tracks. She is average in this film as far as acting is concerned, but her dancing skills are flawless. Anil Kapoor overacts his way as the third lead, a hyperactive music producer who's obsessed with money and success. Worth a watch on television or DVD.Overall 6/10

What a breath-taking movie. I loved it from start to finish. I was initially not a very big Aishwayra Rai fan, but after her performance, i have begun to re-evaluate that thought. She was excellent. The rest of the cast was good too. Akshaye Khanna was good in his role, perhaps lacking a bit of conviction, but a more than decent performance.So the plot? Rich Boy see's poor girl, falls instantly in love, and the uphill battle ensue's for love to prevail. Nothing groundbreaking, but the cinematography was brilliant, and the soundtrack is wqually beautiful, if not better. A must see!
