man!! Almost 70% of reviews I've read here are positive!! & 90% of reviewers
have praised ARR's score!!
No movie can achieve 100% positive reviews... even masterpiece like RDB had
some bad reviews... so don't worry too much...

There are positive reviews, but the criticisms all point to the same
problems....film is too long, too patchy, too "filmy", drags a lot
many areas, lack of suspense, inconsistent, loose... There are lots
of 4/5s, but also lots of 3/5s and some 2/5s.
Today's flim goers don't do well with movies that drag and bore. I'm
very worried about the BO results. Although I haven't seen the film
yet, I know I'm going to like it simply for the music, historical
opulance, visuals, acting, dramatic sequences, and action scenes.
I'm pretty tolerant to slow paced movies. I'm hopeful that despite
the shortcomings in terms of lack of tightness and drawn out,
sluggish and non gripping parts, the visuals, the chemistry between
Ash and Hrithik, the music, the drama will be enough to please the
average person. If, however, most people think the movie is too
drawn out, long, non gripping, and cannot grasp the movie as a whole,
then the movie is in trouble.
I really want to see the film badly and I know it will be appreciated
by many. Kudos to Ashu and his team for attempting such an epic film
with so much investment and work. I just hope their hard work pays
off. IT takes guts to make such a film in today's world. I think
some of the criticisms are a bit too crticial, but, the real test
will be the numbers in terms of BO.
I just wish Ashu could have learned his lesson from Swades to make
the plot a bit more tight and concise based on what I am hearing from
others. I really want the film to succeed and become a blockbuster
for everyone's sake involved in the film, but esp. for Rahman. I
want people beyond his fans to recognize and love the brilliance of
this soundtrack.
