A continously exaggerated series of performances and scenes try to make up for the lack of soul of characters and plot. Takes 3 hours trying to tell what could have been said in 90 minutes just with better acting, directing and planned screenwritting.

Excellent! Teaches great ethical lessons. Truth is timeless and universal. Thank you Shahrukh and Karan for giving the world this beautiful, moving film. Your courageous movie touched on so much that is wrong with this world and at the same time you convincingly portrayed the good to be found in this world through the eyes, actions, and determination of the story's hero, Rizvan Khan. This film should be required of all Liberal Arts students in universities and colleges everywhere ;it is sorely needed. This movie leaves one with the feeling that there may be hope for this world. Best movie!
