7/10
The biggest grossing Indian film of all time... according to the DVD cover!

To me, it was just okay. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the wholesome quality of the film but it was a tad bit too long and uneven for my taste. Heck! it was longer than the Titanic and then some. The film caught my interest with its portrait of simple and traditional Indian family life and values, the way the two families connected and the way love was the center piece. The music is as classic as it is great and the wedding scenes were magnificent. I just couldn't understand the plot twist, how and why it happened. It really just threw me off.

Salman Khan plays a young and plucky boy named Prem and Madhuri Dixit plays the jewel that catches his eye one day when he and his family embark on a vacation that really is a trip to review a bride for his elder brother but in disguise of a vacation. Once there, as he is busy matchmaking his brother, he spots the younger sister of his sister-in-law (played by Madhuri Dixit) and falls in love with her. Everything goes along swimming well, with cricket matches in the afternoons, loving family meetings and exchanges, nice song and dance numbers until one after when a tragic accident changes the life of the two families forever. When the dust settles, the love between Prem (Khan) and Nisha (Dixit) is forever tested when she is asked to marry her brother-in-law as a replacement for his dead wife.

Who am I to you indeed! This movie left me with a blank stare.
