Review
------
DTPH is the short form used for this film. The film is from the
most successful Yash s production. The film stars Shah Ruck Khan,
Madhuri Dixit and Karishma Kapoor. The film is about the
incidents that happen in a dance team. Shah Ruck Khan and
Karishma Kapoor form the dancing pair. They are close friends.
Slowly Karishma falls in love with Shah Rukh. Meanwhile Shah Rukh
falls in love at first with the Madhuri who arrives to
their dance studio. Because of friendship Karishma sacrifices her
love on learning that Shah Rukh loves the other and helps him in
his love. The series of events that happen along are well
portrayed making it an interesting film.The film has many foot
tapping numbers and superb duet songs. It is worth watching more
than once. It is a complete entertainer and you will be driven to
watch it several times. --bollywoodhungama.com
The story is fairly simple, and may be the only thing lacking in
the movie. Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), a director, starts with
describing a new play that his performing team is going to put on
"Maya", translated as "illusion". The lone female dancer in his
team is Nisha (Karisma Kapoor). Nisha, madly in love with Rahul,
once tells him about her love. As Rahul starts making this play
with Nisha in the lead as "Maya", she gets injured, and the real
"Maya", Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) arrives. Pooja is arranged to marry
Ajay (Akshay Kumar), a businessman from London. Pooja takes the
part as Maya hesitantly. From there, the story rolls to the
finale quite peacefully. Shah Rukh Khan dominates the movie. His
role as Rahul is played valiantly and may be deserving of an
award. Karisma Kapoor dominates her role also. Her talents, shown
off again after Raja Hindustani, may make her a mainstay in the
film industry. Madhuri Dixit, as Pooja, shows off her talent as
an actress, and this role may bring her back into the numero uno
spot, as it was left up for grabs because many big name female
character films flopped this year. The music sounds even better
in the film than on cassette. The choreography and technical
aspects of the direction during the songs show off the real
beauty of Yash Raj Films. Yash Chopra s direction stresses his
experience and delicate handling of the movie. Many other
directors destroy films at their endings, especially films with
weak scripts. The dialogues by Aditya Chopra showed off his young
talents. The handling of the dialogues by Yash Chopra may make
the dialogues better than they actually were, but they worked
well in the context of the movie.
The movie is a must watch for all you die hard romantics out
there. --bollywoodhungama.com
