Yaadein... (2001)
9/10
A Subhash Ghai film
12 June 2005
This movie tells you why Subhash Ghai's movies are different from others in the same genre (say, love stories?). His thoughts/ideas are presented tenderly with very strong effect instead of melodrama that other schools of romantic film making in the Hindi film industry resorts to. The following are the strong points of the movie 1. Music by Anu Malik. Watch out for Udit Narayan's version of the title song "naghme hain, shikwein hain..." Credit goes to the director the way he used Udit's voice to great effect in this piece and Hariharan's voice for the other one. This song is also used in the background score heavily, differently for different situations.

2. Anand Bakshi's lyrics.

3. The story and the casting. Jackie Shroff seems to be favourible choice for the role of Raj Puri.

4. Photography is excellent.

5. This film's DVD has good subtitles in English, French. So, movie lovers not knowing Hindi should not miss this film.

I watched this movie for the 4th time on DVD; but try to watch it on the biggest screen possible.
