Good review. And the film is so good that anyone seeing the film wants to wrtie about it and tll the whole world to go see it. Such is the charm of this film.

In resp to Naveen's question, I have rated it 3 stars for 2 reasons--one, like I have mentioned Kamal is too old and terribly out of shape to be cast as the hero; secondly the music of the film is a big let down. If these two factors were better, I'd have given it a 4 or more rating.

The review is good, but there are grammatical mistakes. Also, I hope you know that this story is entirely a 'lift' from another film called 'The miracle Worker', so so much for originality. Also, the ending is contrived. I also wonder why Amitabh had to get Alzheimer's disease. the director could h...ave let him be normal. When you are focussing on one problem of deaf blind individuals, why add another dimension? But all in all, a good review.Read More
