5/5 stars

The less known about the plot the better for this movie.  In brief, Anand (Salman Khan) is admitted to a mental hospital in a childlike state where he is treated by three doctors, Tanvi (Kareena Kapoor), Sunil (Jackie Shroff), and Dr. Khurana (Om Puri).  His past is shown in flashback, and Rimi Sen plays Maya, Anand's love interest.

This fantastic drama is funny, touching, and sometimes shocking.  Khan plays the childlike Anand excellently.  Shroff and Puri give wonderful, believable performances.  Kapoor is a bit stiff at times,  but generally convincing.  The music is good, with some lovely lyrics.  Kapoor's costumes are beautiful.  The plot is gripping, keeping the viewer interested throughout.  Overall, it is a movie I would universally recommend.
