Aamir Khan did everything in his capacity to promote his younger brother, Faisal Khan's debut film (as a lead hero; Faisal had made an appearance in Aamir's own debut Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (QSQT) back in 1988). However second time director Vikram Bhatt's attempt at re-creating the magic of QSQT did not work. The film was a box office dud. I happened to watch this film on DVD recently and that's why I am reviewing it.

Honestly, there is nothing new to offer in this film. In fact, it tries too hard to be another QSQT but just doesn't match up. The family feud, the romance, the climax ... all seem labored. The acting by the leads is raw and considering this is their first full-fledged film, it is decent at best. Anjali Jatthar lacked the innocence of Juhi Chawla in QSQT. She does remind you of Ayesha Jhulka in a few scenes.

The only redeeming factor of the film is the outstanding soundtrack. Anand-Milind deliver a brilliant score, coming very close to their award winning stint in QSQT. The songs boast of rich melody. It is a pity that the film suffered the fate that it did, because that only hampered Anand-Milind's shot at another Filmfare award.

Vikram Bhatt went on to make many a successful films post Madhosh. I'm sure he wouldn't want to be remembered for making this dull flick. I'm going with 6/10 only for the refreshing music, which sounds fresh even today.
