the movie was so-so but worth watching for the songs alone. if the songs were strippped out of the movie, it would barely get two stars. sorry mr.chopra.

An ok ok movie based set in the year 1942. I didn't like the movie too much except for the songs. Found it to be a drag. So do not recommend it.

this film is more like the other manisha film 'Dil Se'. But the ending is different, manisha and he dad are revolutionists and anil kapoor has taken a liking to manisha. She starts to like him aswell and when he finds out about them, he wants to marry her and join them in their task. But his father is with the police and the british and snitches on them to which manisha's father dies. Jackie comes into the scene and helps manisha to complte her dads wishes. Anil then finds them and helps them in their task. They have to kill the british captain in order for a free life, so with anil on the noose the whole village uproars and a big fight starts. Jackie then kills the english captain and many people start joining into the revolution. Manisha and anil get to be together. Some very famous tunes in here. A good watch

The film attempts to draw you in to its hero, Narendra Singh (played by Anil Kapoor), the son of a...more

It was August 1942. The 'Quit India' movement had gathered momentum. Protesters, all over the country, came out in large numbers and the thunderous cry of 'quit India' echoed across the nation, The response of the British became increasingly brutal and what followed was savage repression leading to unprecedented violence, lathi charges, and ruthless firing on unarmed protesters. The country was quickly engulfed in flames and Kasauni, a small town in the Himalayan foothills, was no exception.
