Review: This movie is all fun dancing and music for the first 1/2 of the film. Then, the plot becomes more complicated and it is fantastic. Combined, it makes one of the best Bollywood films I've seen. There are a few scenes with some suggestive flirting, 1 scene of a master beating a slave (no gore). and a shooting.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
