Mansoor Khan has given Bollywood some of it's most memorable movies and most underrated of his movies is AHAT.
Apparently movie did not do too well on it's release and I can understand completely that not because movie lacked anything but because it was clearly much ahead of it's time.
There are a lot of reviews saying this is a remake of Kramer vs Kramer and abhimaan, I haven't seen Kramer v Kramer but from what I read apart from the similarity of parents fighting over child custody don't see any other similarity. Definitely this has nothing to do with Abhimaan which was about insecurities experienced by couples.
This film is what it is because of great direction, wonderful performance by everyone with the lead pair standing out. Aamir Khan is at his very best here, so it Manisha Koirala. Anu Malik is in top form too very memorable Album.
Overall staying in commercial realm this is a very thought provoking film...what really stands out for me is that for once lead characters are not portrayed as being perfect...they all have their fallcies...you can side by the women or man depending on how you see it ...
