Critic Reviews

Jay Weissberg, Variety
Dattani's assembled an impressive cast and crew.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Resolves its conflicts along familiar, Hollywood-friendly lines.
Anita Gates, New York Times
Although it is from India, it has few of the usual Bollywood musical excesses.
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
An awkwardly told tale of music's power to heal old wounds.
