 Mohabbatein (DVD)
 Mohabbatein (DVD) ... DVD released 21 May, 2001 at Yash Raj Films / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Box set, Closed-captioned, Colour, Dolby, DVD-Video, PAL, Subtitled, Widescreen, Import / Mohabbatein ("Love Stories") is, as the title suggests, thoroughly concerned with love and romance; it's a hugely popular Bollywood blockbuster about three young men at an exclusive boarding school who fall in love with three local young women. Opposition comes from the head of the school (Amitabh Bachan) and support from the violin teacher, who introduces an element of Dead Poets Society into a story which references both Grease (1978) and West Side Story (1961). Actually this is Aditya Chopra's follow-up to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), which also starred Shahrukh Khan. The rest of the featured players are almost all new, and inject a vitality into every scene so that even at three-and-a-half hours Mohabbatein rarely drags. The soundtrack sweeps all before it in the seven big production numbers, which add a Western pop-video gloss to the complex, exhilarating musical arrangements. Likewise the choreography fuses traditional Indian elements with contemporary Western dance, and while the men are handsome and charming, the girls are stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly sensual, and scantily clad in a thoroughly modern fashion. Mohabbatein is a colourful, humorous though haunting romantic drama, which even those unfamiliar with Indian cinema should find highly enjoyable. On the DVD: The feature is in Hindi with subtitle options for English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Malay. The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is often atmospheric, though only really comes into its own in the dynamic musical numbers. The anamorphically enhanced presentation of the original 2.35:1 cinema image is NTSC; while colours are excellent and the detail level well above VHS there is a slight lack of sharpness compared to the best PAL transfers. The second disc contains 64 minutes of English language interviews, 11 TV trailers and an anamorphic theatrical trailer, a scored stills gallery, 18 minutes of deleted scenes, including one musical number, with optional English language director's commentary, plus a 44-minute "making-of" documentary. The attractive packaging puts all but the most lavish US releases to shame. --Gary S DalkinNewest Review: ... were other things in life that a person would be incomplete without such as love.

The new characters were quite good and kept their performance quite interesting as each of them had different personalities and stories around them. Where one girl character was sweet and innocent who had suffered from trauma, other was energetic and quite self occupying.
All these come together as they fall in love with the three friends who Sharuk had chosen. The story contains quite good...more |

This movie had quite a lot of different actors who were new and fresh although it was mainly about Sharuk and Ashwariya story line.The main theme for this movie was love. The aim of this movie for Sharuk character was to make Ashwariya's dad realize that education was important but also there were other things in life that a person would be incomplete without such as love. He worked as a music teacher who comes to same boarding place he once lived and learned. Here he found three boys who he would prove his point across through Amitab.

The Title……….. Well I am writing a Bollywood reviews this time, so for those who hate subtitles this might not be their cup of tea. I have chosen this movie called "Mohabbatein", which is the Hindi word for Love Stories or "Epics of Love". Actually the maker of this film has used the word "Love" (Mohabbat in my language) in plural form and has named this movie "Mohabbatein". About the Movie……. Directed by Aditya Chopra and produced by the great producer of Bollywood, Yash Chopra, this movie was released in 2001 and as far as I can remember this was a big hit, a huge and prosperous Bollywood ...

Mohabbatein (DVD): Great film, crap DVD (184 words)

I'm not going to discuss the actual film (nothing confuses my brain more than the plots of Bollywood films!), I'm just going to discuss the actual DVD. There are two discs - one contains the film and the other contains extras. The extras disc is great, it works fine and the documentary and interviews are very entertaining. The problem lies with the first disc. The first three quarters of the film play fine, but then it all goes pear-shaped. The disc continually jumps, pauses and eventually stops altogether. I was about to send the disc back, but first decided to do a little research. I discovered that this DVD has a known problem in that it was badly made. I can ... Read the complete review
