A remake of the same movie in Tamil titled "Minnale".This remake RHTDM film was not so successful during the time of its release in the year 2001, but has since developed a cult following on the internet. Most of the film contains the same exact scenes as its Tamil counterpart. However the hindi audiences were not ready for a different style of movie that itself was new in the original Tamil movie. Minnale was well received in the south because it appealed to Tamil sensibilities and tastes of that time showing the changing trends in 2000.
As compared to the original movie Minnale. the acting seems to be better especially the female lead role played by Diya Mirza compared to the Reema Sen in the original. Diya seems to be a more competent performer than Reema Sen and carries the film throughout with her excellent mannerisms and performance.
However in this hindi remake, Madhavan seems to have faltered in his acting compared to the original Tamil version His performance at times comes off as over exaggerated or subpar. At times the screenplay and production seems to be rushed and greater care could have been taken in editing and production values. The film has good cinematography and production values which seems out of place or non conventional at the time in Bollywood like for example the Zara Zara song picturisation . Nevertheless, the on screen presence of Diya Mirza and her performance still is one of the best in Indian cinema.
The film itself contains a few unnecessary elements which are draggy and irrelevant to the central story.The soundtrack by Harris Jayaraj while being brilliant as it was in the original , it had been successfully and nicely dubbed from the original version without coming off as too much tamil and avoided the problems which plague dubbed soundtracks of this sort from the South to North. Overall the soundtrack is the biggest winner in this film as it had the same impact on Hindi audiences as the Tamil version.
Overall a watcher for its presentation of couples in love.
