For me, you have to like people for the romance to work. However, I have noticed that this is a BIG theme in a lot of Indian romances-the obnoxious pretty-boy-and it's a cliché I really hate. This really made no sense nor did it make sense that Alvira would soon fall for Rakesh because he seemed so very obnoxious and full of himself.

Oh well, I really enjoy seeing Amitabh and at least I got a few glimpses of him even though his character was ill-defined and vague. He appears in the film periodically-though I have no idea why other than he's the father of the leading man in this film, Abhishek Bachchan. It all begins with a nice song and dance number by Amitabh Bachchan. Subtle and romantic are two words I'd never use to describe this film.
