I don't know if this is a newbie opinion (I can't say I've seen many Bollywood movies) but I felt like the songs felt a bit different from other Bollywood movies I've seen. I mean their style. They sort of felt more "sophisticated". Maybe because the theme of the movie was so serious?
I watched the parts on either side of the intermission on different days so it didn't feel too long, either. Had I tried to watch it in one go would probably have been a bad idea -- my Western attention deficit would have kicked in and I would have been like "hit the damn cricket ball already dammit!"

About the only thing I don't like is Aamir Khan in the leading role. He's never been my fave and is clearly too old for the part. But without him, the film would never have been made. And there are worse choices (like Salman Khan).

The one film I actually think he's good in is Saawariya. (It probably helps that the hero is Ranbir Kapoor, a colt-faced set of abs in search of a personality.) In fact, he's the best thing about that film next to Rani Mukerji.

Yeah maybe because he isn't in it that much.
He just got in a feud with John Abraham about their films releasing the same day, which made me lose any little respect I had for him. I can't understand why this guy films break records, there are really good BW films that get really overlooked because of morons like him.
