Mohabbatein (2000)
7/10
Great, Dull, Great, Dull - what the hell
30 May 2007
Mohabbatein Story - utter trash, ripoff of dead poet's society which is not that great a film IMO. The three cheesy love stories bore me to tears, the conflict between love and fear - what the hell?

Music - I like Aankhen Khuli, Humko Humise Churalo - that's it.

Acting - I need to break this up. Let us start according to age:

Amitabh - the worst caricature of a role and acting in his second innings.

Anupam Kher - ditto

Archana Puran Singh - ditto

Shahrukh - his best look and a really nuanced role, he deserved the critics choice award he got.

Aishwarya - one of her best roles..

Jimmy Shergill - decent

Jugal Hansraj - aw, he was in Masoom so I have a soft spot for him, but bad here, objectively speaking

Uday Chopra - my first flick with him, annoying as hell and to be avoided at all costs

The girls - all sucked big time!!

Why I would watch the film again? I would watch it to see SRK and Aishwarya act their hearts out, to listen to my two favorite songs, but ABOVE ALL - I would watch it for the dance SRK and gang do with Helen to a medley of her old songs. That is why I own the DVD.

It is sad indeed that Aditya Chopra followed DDLJ with this film - even SRK and Aish's fine acting couldn't polish up the dullness of this film.
