Bad hair day
shahid-27 April 2000
A totally unoriginal debut by fed-up editor Subhash Sehgal. Sunny Deol and Apoorva Agnihotri play two brothers who are orphans (a cliche in the melodramatic world of Bollywood!). Sunny Deol has never looked at another girl before (strange, as he is in his thirties!) and has always been working very hard to bring up his younger brother. Apoorva is a college boy who meets college girl Mahima Choudhry. They both fall in love in one day! Predictably, Sunny Deol also falls in love with Mahima. Cue heartbreak, overdramatic declarations of love and choppy editing. Mahima marries Apoorva and they sing some songs. In a strange twist, Mahima ends up married to both men!

Direction is poor. The music is above average. The best song is 'Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi', which is ruined by a rubbish dance sequence. Sunny Deol seems embarrassed to play a romantic elder brother. Apoorva cannot act at all and fails at his attempts to do comedy. Mahima is a good actress but she has a bad hair day here. Her costumes are cheap and awful and her make-up is overloaded. Definitely not one of Mahima's best films (go and see Daag and Dil Kya Kare instead).

Film rating: 4.5 out of 10

Was just waiting for the end to come...

Warning: Spoilers
There is nothing special in the film, and it is too long. Its just a love story admixed with some family drama and a topping of business rivalry.

Two brothers who would die for each other fall in love with the same girl. The girl loves only one of them but their conscience and egos come into play, and each one has to decide what they will do. To add to problems are some rivals who want to see the family destroyed.

The good- the title song only, and Sunny Deol's serious nature acting(not his romancing and dancing). Otherwise everything else is just average.

This is one of the few films in which Sunny Deol dies in the end( but of course, not before he eliminated the villains).

I watched because I am a Sunny Deol fan. Else no one else would watch this film.
