Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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 Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCEPTIONAL EPIC!!!, 12 Aug 2002
By Was (Middlesbrough, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mohabbatein [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
What can I say? Aditya Chopra has done it again...his follow up to DDLJ is as emotional, as awe-inspiring and as memorable as its unconventional predecessor. Mohabbatein really brings out the best talents of both Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, and the jaw-dropping beauty of Aishwarya Rai really makes her 'ghostly' character come to life.
The brilliant direction from Aditya Chopra has realy set a landmark for Bollywood cinema and has already firmly placed "Adi'" as one of the most exciting and original directors to grace our screens for a long time.
Yash Raj Films have really pulled out all the stops for this lavish DVD, and we are really in for a treat with a spectacular two-disc set, not forgetting the additional exclusive postcards and leaf-bookmark, a pleasant touch to an already incredible DVD.
The story, centering around a strict eductaional institution, Gurukul, and the fight of three young students against its Headmaster, Amitabh Bachchan, in the name of love, really brings a very original idea to the hero/heroine drivel churned out from the industry for too long. Shahrukh's powerful performance really brings meaning to his character's fight in the name of love, and the equally if not over-shadowing performance by the Big B, portrays the eternal battle love has with fear, splendidly.

All in all...an epic of all proportions, with romance, humour, lots of tears, and brilliant performances!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Triple Love Relationships, 21 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mohabbatein [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
This is the first Hindi film I saw and I must say that I have been overwhelmed by it. Despite its 3 hours one would not think of such a great movie as a long boring film. I for one loved the way it deals with love stories between the young people (3 couples), but also between the generations (young vs. old generation) and also between the famous actors and the new actors which were given a chance for the first time in "Mohabbatein". As for the music, the melodies quickly become earworms and you will be suprised to find yourself humming "Chalte chalte"! For those of you who, like me, Have been intringued to watch some really good Bollywood film I suggest you give this one a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars an absolutley amazing film, 3 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Mohabbatein [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
Not only does this film deal with, unlike many bollywood films, real issues concerning real people, it does so in a way that keeps you enthralled for the full three hours (with a handy intermission half way through!) Undoubtedly a classic movie, a must see for all Asians out there, and anyone else too! Amitabh Bhachan, perhaps the greatest actor in the history of the world, ever, and Shahrukh Khan, a damn close second, make this film purely unmissable! BUY IT! BUY IT TODAY!!!
