Anybody like this movie.

It is a movie based on students turning into politicians. Discuss.

I like it although it is a "sum of the parts better than the whole" kind of film. Abhishek as Lallan Singh gave one of the best star performances of the decade. The Vivek-Kareena track is one of my favorite love stories in BW.

I remember Abhishek getting a lot of appreciation for his potrayal. But I actually never ended up watching it. Should I?

One of the best scenes in this movie

Abhishek and Sonu Sood rocking in a Mani Ratnam film. A decade later both of these guys were playing sidekicks to SRK in a Farah Khan movie

Another great scene

Abhishek, Rani, Kareena, Sonu and Esha all gave their career-best performances in this movie IMO. Mani Ratnam 👏

Political based films never interest me much

Prefer the south version more eventhough I liked both films. Mostly because the performance in the south version overall was miles ahead. Madhavan did that baddie role much much better than Abhishek and Surya was beyond amazing as Michael. Slightly biased towards the south version since all 3 male leads there are my absolute favourites. 😳 Nevertheless, one of the most under appreciated films overall.

Loved it. specially Rani-Abhi track was pure gem. Abhishek was spine chilling - his best . Rani was superb..Kareena looked awesome throughout..

The South version I believe is the actual best movie but I really liked & enjoyed the Hindi version! B Jr gave what is probably his best performance & I feel so bad for him because he's clearly a good actor! More than the Vivek-Kareena life story I liked the Rani-Jr one! They had sizzling chemistry! And were so real as a besotted yet slightly flawed couple & it felt natural. Their was childlike love with the elopement & passion too, yet a sense of how burdensome their <3 was for Rani's character. Very, very nice movie & I really doubt that both will ever act opposite each other but I do really like Rani-B Jr's chemistry so would like to see them in a nice movie someday.
