The film swirls about frantically in the effort to entertain, has a terrible Bob Fosse-like dance sequence and generally overstays its welcome.

You'll be wishing this weirdly uneven tale came with its own government health warning – if only so you come prepared for an assortment of incongruous musical numbers and performances that couldn't be broader if they tried.

While intended as a comedy, there's not a scintilla of wit to be found here, let alone an honest-to-goodness laugh, and at over two hours, it goes way beyond a joke.

A real oddity, shifting gear after the first half-hour from whimsical melodrama to morality-tale-cum-psychodrama.

If and when Bollywood does deliver a crossover hit, it's likely this film-maker will be behind it.

An enjoyably barmy movie that plunders from everything from Cabaret to Cocteau’s Orphée.

A cut above the usual Bollywood fare, though ultimately too slight to justify its rather exorbitant running time.

The film fails to entertain in the conventional sense of the term, and often feels like a documentary.
