Critic Reviews

The most popular film in Indian history.Full Review

TV Guide

The film is at once a sort of Indian "Stella Dallas," which finds the heroine making sacrifice after sacrifice on behalf of her family, and a "Gone With the Wind"-style epic of social change.Full Review

Dave Kehr
The New York Times

The performances are broad; the comedy is mainly slapstick. The politics are nationalist and vaguely left-wing.Full Review

Village Voice
