Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
nk-32466 Taal movie was a 1999 Bollywood musical romantic movie directed by Subhash Ghai.The film stars Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, Aishwarya Rai, Amrish Puri and Alok Nath.This movie shows the effects of true love. The theme of the movie is very attractive. Aishwarya rai did very well. The comedy scenes were good. Mid part of the movie was something average. Some sets are just amazing.end part of the movie creates suspense according to the views.Moreover, the song 'hum dil de chuke sanam' is fantastic song. The soundtrack of the film was composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics written by Anand Bakshi.Finally i rated this movie with 5 stars.
Suman Shakya The specialities of movies made by Subash Ghai remain the camera work and music though the stories he takes are quite familiar. "Taal" is simply a love story with a wafer thin plot, but the flow and the beauty with which the film proceeds is pretty attractive. There are certain flaws, but the film is still refreshing for the music of AR Rehman, brilliant sets, and a beautiful cinematography. Perhaps in her earlier roles, Aishwarya Rai looks beautiful and acts well. Akshaye Khanna and Anil Kapoor look quite familiar. The flaws of the film include it goes for an over-length in the second half and towards the second half the twists go for some lightness. Anyway, this might not be the best film from Subash Ghai; but it indeed is a good effort from him, which should get a special mention.Rating: 2 stars out of 4
alan_nicoll I liked this movie a lot, but the first hour drags and is pretty darn silly. When the story moves to Bombay it takes off, and there's hardly a letup in interest and music video dazzlement until a rather slow and awkward conclusion. The female lead is astonishingly beautiful, I could stare at her for hours, not unlike the male lead's behavior in the first hour or so. (I'm not sure if I'm getting close to spoilers here, so I've checked the option just to be safe).Anil Kapoor is a wonderful supporting character, though his "change of heart" seems a bit weak. But it's the music, singing, and dancing that makes this movie work. Two quibbles, though: first, the choreography of the "chorus line" or backup dancers was very boring and routine except for a few gymnastic feats; second, when the female lead and her father stumble into the middle of a musical number, the editing got pretty annoying, giving you a constant flip-flop between the performance and "reaction shots" of the two characters. I understand that this was supposed to be a significant moment for them, but there should have been a smoother way to "sell" this without chopping the performance into half-second "takes." I've only seen about four Bollywood films, so I can't say too much about how this compares. Certainly you could see a lot of money on the screen in sets, costumes, and stage effects; that was impressive.I watch these films for the music, dancing, and beautiful women, and this film has these in abundance. Good.Alan Nicoll
Jason Henderson The wild thing about TAAL is that the first half hour or so is like an Indian OKLAHOMA, where girl meets rich boy in a mountain village.But then the girl gets a recording contract and suddenly the movie is lycra, dance rehearsals, and MTV parties.The montage sequence in the center is worth the price alone, it's like a Bollywood FLASHDANCE-- the stunning Aish Rai proceeds through a montage sequence of the aforementioned rehearsals, an AMAZING combo of elegant gowns and modern choreography slashed with what we anglos think of as, what, Indian arm ballet? Amazing. Couldn't take my eyes off TAAL. If you have to start your Bollywood somewhere, try here.
