Handbag: 24Jun02:
Too simplistic for the average bollywood film watcher,and my non asiann friends weren't too impressed. I did like the opening scene where all the different sounds of bombay were coming in - that's the only inspiring thing in it i'm afraid to say. Was expecting and hoping for something better.
