Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor authenticity, Ashutosh Gowariker shot a scene at Launch Pad 39A, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. This is the first Indian film to actually be shot inside the NASA research center.
- GoofsMohan directly attaches the plug in the AC socket for the foot massager he brought from USA. In reality the plug standards of USA and India are different and will not fit in other country's socket. An adapter must be used for compatibility.

Featured review
An Excellent Movie with an excellent backdrop
A worth watching Movie by Ashutosh Gowariker.
Leaves a impression on mind after you have seen the movie.
Though there are technical faults in the storyline yet those can be left aside on the backdrop of a heart-touching theme. A theme for the people who are leaving their countries / states in search of a better life without realising the fact that they can create a better living environment at home itself.
An insight on the problems of India whose underdeveloped part is somehow or other responsible for itself for the underdevelopment. The social jinx in the rural India which should have been broken long before are now hampering the progress of the villages.
The movie is another Gem after Lagaan in the collection of Ashutosh and Indian Cinema as a whole.
Great Job by Shahrukh. Exquisite appearance by Gayatri. Grand Show by Ashutosh.
