Review of the film :
This film are with mostly positive critics reviews, specially Aishwariya Rai Highly appreciated for it's performance in the film.Aishwarya has given one of her finest performances and one of the best in cinema.
Ekanshu Khera of Planet Bollywood gave the film an 8 star from 10 star. He noted that the cinematography to be beautiful and was pleased that the singing was not lip synched. However, he said that the "dubbing leaves much to be desired" and would have preferred a different director dub it in Hindi. He also noted that the film appeals "to a niche audience due to its periodic settings and ideologies."
Margaret Pomeranz of ABC Australia gave it 3 star from 5 stars, writres that "the insight it gives into Indian culture and customs, is interesting and that tends to overcome the slight impatience with the overload of emotions."
David Stratton, also of ABC, gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, commenting on how the film version was edited 40 minutes shorter but that it was beautifully acted and fascinating.
