I read the book and saw the movie. But I think I like the book better. I really like it. When I saw the movie I was kinda disappointed, but I think it was good though. Tabu did a great job.

I have read the book and was much impressed... There is a whole gamut of emotions one feels while reading the book ... and the beauty of it all is... we feel all those emotions and shift thru them... with such ease... that one wouldnt realize.... but yet at end, one is truly moved...

The movie...was good too, and I have seen it, but nothing close to the experience of reading the book itself!

Suhit's favourite all-time Hindi Movie is...
