Yaadein is a gorgeous Bollywood film that will warm your heart. I admit that the story is not particularly original, but the film is so well acted and directed that you don't mind the fact that there are no surprises. The story centres on a widower (brilliantly played by Jackie Shroff) and his relationship with his three adult daughters. The youngest daughter (Kareena Kapoor) falls in love with a man (Hrithik Roshan) who her father forbids her to marry. The strength of the film lies in the realistic portrayal of the father/daughter relationship - the father veers between being too strict and not wanting to refuse his daughters anything.
The soundtrack to Yaadein is stunning. The title song is incredibly beautiful and there are also some great songs that you can dance to. It is worth seeing this film for the music alone.

This is very much in the normal Subhash Ghai style of filmmaking - everything is flung together and it doesn't always make much sense when finished. If you liked his other films (Taal & Pardes for example) you'll probably enjoy this but I don't think its the film to start with. It has a really brilliant soundtrack though. Very addictive.

In the name of love, would you...

If you felt that you found the one person that you were meant to be with, how far would you go to have that person? Would you defy your parents, who are rich and influentially powerful? Would you challenge her father, who has been more of a father to you than your own father? Would you even go against the traditions of your society to be with the one yu truly love?
Well, if you are looking for a movie that has a little bit of drama, romance and humor, then Yaadein is a wonderful choice. Superstars Hrithik Roshan, as Ronit, and Kareena Kapoor, as Isha, present such amazing chemistry throughout the movie, especially the dance scenes and the shots with just them reacting to each other as tensions amount in their characters' relationship. They are also superb in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghamand Mujhse Dosti Karoge.

Good Bollywood Film
14 May 2009
Format:DVD
Okay, so it can be a little cheesy at times. The alligator scene wasn't the best either. Ha. But, the songs are catchy, the storyline is good, and Hrithik is great to watch. The dialouge he has in this movie is great, and he plays the character of Rohit, a dramatic romantic, very well. I enjoy this movie. Give it a try!

Barely average; lifted by Hrithik's dance
26 Mar 2009
Plot is about a couple in love who are caught up in their parents agendas and the boy is promised to another for the sake of a family business merger.
That is meant to be the subplot though. The main angle is the personal friendships a father gets with his daughters after his wife dies. He aims to go beyond roles and traditions and be a personal friend to each. He does this somewhat erratically and incompletely often but Jackie Stroff does bring a sensitivity to the character of the father by the end.
I really like Hrithik but this isn't one of his best. It is one of his earlier movies though and he really had yet to do his best stuff. There is some hammy over-acting and labored scripting. There is a big speech at the end which is meant to be moving but I found somewhat awkward, meandering and ineffective in stirring emotion. However there are some good dance sequences with Hrithik as a redeeming feature. Jackie Stroff is also good and Kareena Kapoor fine. My co-watcher found it patchy and fragmented rather than a cohesive whole.
This movie has had very mixed success. It flopped in India but went on to become a huge grossing movie in foreign markets. Elsewhere on the Net it seems to get average sort of ratings (usually about 4-6 out of 10)
