If you've never seen any Indian films, it takes some getting used to. A scene will be going on like normal and then the characters burst into song! I had seen Bride and Prejudice, also with Aishwarya Rai, before this, but that was made for a Western audience so it was easier to watch.
I wasn't crazy about this movie, honestly. I liked some of the scenes wit Meenakshi and Captain Bala (Marianne and Colonel Brandon) the best, actually. And there were funny parts. But I felt it took too long to get started (it's over 2 hours long) and then rushed everything in at the end. I got so bored trying to re-watch it for the review that I skipped over the musical numbers. I guess I'm just not the right audience for this.
