I just got home from the movie. Loved it. Thanks to all the reviews, I went in merely with the expectation of seeing a "Mani Ratnam" quality film and I was more than happy with what I saw. Go watch it. Like someone said earlier today, it is a treat for your senses. The background music was Amazing. My favourites were the Beera theme ( operatic and grand ) and Jaa re ud jaare.
