Critic Reviews
-
Derek Elley, Variety
A long-limbed story that is utterly simple in structure, but decorated with enough character interplay and side plots to keep the movie ticking over to a powerful finale.
-
Sandip Roy, San Francisco Chronicle
These are the real human moments in the film. One just wishes there were a few more.
-
Beth Accomando, KPBS.org
Bollywood films, more than films from anywhere else in the world, harken back to the heyday of the Hollywood studio star system with all the glamour and gloss that goes with that.
-
Amy Nicholson, Boxoffice Magazine
Luckily, Aishwarya Rai's mesmerizing good looks make three and a half hours tick by like, well, two and a half hours
-
David Chute, L.A. Weekly
An imperial epic of 16th-century India, realized on a suitably gargantuan scale by writer-director Ashutosh Gowariker.
