pretty but slow
Watch this movie for the gorgeous sets and costumes, the magical world of 19th century Lucknow come to life. Aishwarya Rai's dancing is decent, though she's no Madhuri Dixit in Devdas, though. The plot is extremely slow-moving though, and for all the eyes Aishwarya Rai and Abishek Bachchan make at each other, their relationship doesn't seem to progress much beyond the expected cliches. Still, the singing, dancing, sets and costumes and the general ambiance of this movie are beautiful.
