I was very disappointed with this film. Besides playing every Bollywood cliché to the hilt, this film was nothing more than a rehash of the Manirathnam quiet hit "Saathiya".
Basic story - boy falls in love with girl, get married despite misgivings/objections from parents/coming from different backgrounds blah blah blah and then realising that life is not a bed of roses. Cracks appear, they get separated, but love conquers. They live happily ever after. Not really but I did not dwell on the open ending of the film - the whole film did not have an impact me.
SRK denied that the film was a lift off Saathiya but the basic premise was the same - only thing is Manirathnam handled it much better and with greater sensitivity.
Plus point is the music. I loved it.
The SRK stalwarts were there - Rani Mukherjee, Johnny Lever, Satish Shah, Lillete Dubey. What a waste of JL, I cringed every time there was a scene with him.
The 1976 Chalte Chalte was a classic. What a pity that in future when people mention CC, it's SRK's film that is being referred to.
