That said, I did find it effective in some scenes. If only it had been better edited/better envisioned!<BR/><BR/>Beth - Abhishek was fine, though honestly he didn't have very much to do. I read an interesting Indian review that commented on his keen ability to project American NRIness, and how some of his behaviors were spot-on Americanish (though I guess that says more about the writing than his performance, per se). He was very cute, as always.<BR/><BR/>Shweta - The flawed storytelling didn't detract from the entertainment, though! It was just a bit confusing to my dil.<BR/><BR/>theBollywoodFan - It was pretty blunt, yeah, though you had to admire his intentions. And it's definitely very different from your standard commercial masala fare. This was smart masala!<BR/><BR/>Long Haired Spider - I agree - a lot of those people deserved their own film!<BR/><BR/>khoofi - Give it a try and let us know what you think!<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - Aww! I thought the ending was okay - though by that point I was laughing and shaking my head, when I suppose I should have been tearful or something. But goodness, those scenes in "heaven"?! *cringe*<BR/><BR/>Hades - I haven't read any version of the Ramayana, so I can't really give much detail. It was just a brief scene when, according to the subs, it seemed that Ram and Lakshman had argued about something and were making up. I have no idea what this was referring to, though!a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-85571883866970335272009-02-24T06:09:00.000-08:002009-02-24T06:09:00.000-08:00There were some scarce moments when Mehra's touch ...<I>There were some scarce moments when Mehra's touch was lighter - such as when the feuding Madan Gopal and Jai Gopal are likened, via only a few lyrics and tasteful cuts, to the feuding Ram and Lakshman...</I><BR/><BR/>Feuding Ram and Lakshman?<BR/><BR/>Ram and Lakshman fought?
