What the critics say
Shah Rukh Khan's charm carries the film despite an off-colour Zinta, overplayed Bachchan and heavy melodrama, though critics split: some call it an engrossing must-see with a strong cast and second half, others say Khan lacks the gravitas the Romeo-and-Juliet story needs.

Derived by Filmi
55
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 0 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
