Extremely funny romantic comedy with a serious core. A panegyric to marrying for love as opposed to marrying by arrangement that suggests the latter can represent an unloving environment within which to raise children.
Nevertheless, as usual, the path of true love does not run smoothly especially as the girl's family wants her to be a traditional Sikh while she hungers after passion and adventure. Moreover, the movie shows there must be a balance between emotion and common sense. An Austenesque sense and sensibility which the two leading characters eventually come to realise as they get to know each other on their literal train journey and their spiritual travels. Trains here symbolise the paths of life everyone takes.
Kareena KAPOOR is fantastic as the headstrong young girl whom you can refuse nothing. She has a real gift for comedy, as her timing is impeccable.
