Someone's loss is someone's gain

As most Bollywood movies, the plot in this one is not complicated and quite predictable. Nice & shy guy met pretty girl who fell in love with him, but he loved the other girl back home; after the 'girl friend' in his heart got married, guy went back to seek the love he missed... The problem is that hero changed his heart for another girl too 'naturally' after his unspoken love failed. True, someone's loss is someone's gain. Yet what a condescending "gain" for the poor girl who didn't get his love in the first place.

Most of the dancing scenes are imaginary and quite senseless.

Aishwarya Rai was good at playing such poignant role for sure, but she needs more colorful characters to enrich her performance experience.
