Review of Mela

Mela (2000)
9/10
Average Bollywood film
4 October 2020
This film is not too great but it doesn't deserve such a low rating. I thought it would have 6-7 stars like an average film. As it is a typical village drama with a dacoit theme, there are no inspirational messages or big lessons. However, it will keep you entertained.

Twinkle Khanna was a decent actress, not as good as Aamir or Faisal but not bad either. Some of her dialogues reminded me of the bahu's of TV soaps. It's just the typical acting of a Bollywood damsel-in-distress of that era.

The film had lots of colorful songs and Johnny Lever comedy scenes which were entertaining.

Some of the dramatic and/or violent scenes were actually so far-fetched and cliché that they made me laugh, instead of taking it seriously. But that wasn't a big deal.

On YouTube it is one of the top 5 Hindi movies, having 103 million views (and counting). That means it is liked by the general population.
