Incorrect. Border was the biggest hit of 1997. Refugee was the same genre and was released in 2000. Don't forget Gadar was a blockbuster of 2001. The theme was not off-beat. It was just a really really bad film.

It was panned heavily upon release. The music and Kareena were praised. Even Abhishek got praise. It was the director JP Dutta that got all the flack for his whack direction.

Refugee is a snore fest.🥱 No way having energy and action of Border and Gadar. Kareena was praised more than Abhishek. Abhi was perhaps praised by some critics but most people were appalled. Like - THIS is Amitabh's son?😆

Border and Gadar were actually quite different from Refugee. I know it was panned for various reasons, but I liked the concept and story.

I think it was average. Love the songs in the film. Kareena looked breathtaking. Abhi actually looked handsome too. But he looked bored throughout the film lol
