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
