3-0 out of 5 stars Family drama
Good family drama, does drag at a few places with some really artificial and long drawn out sequences. Amitabh and Akshay are great, Rakhee is adequate, Mohnish overacts at a few places, the rest are passable. The music is good, with the "Ek Dil hai" song being the standout. One time watch

3-0 out of 5 stars Bollywood melodrama of family dynamics
Firstly this isn't a light fluffy movie nor is it arthouse. It is about loyalties and ties in both families and the business world.
There is a typical Indian clan lead by Amitabh Bachchan who is a champion in industry too. He is a mix of exemplary ethics and ego pride and other such human frailties. The family is challenged by many scenarios within that challenge the cohesiveness and loyalties of the group.
There are strong performances by Amitabh, Akshay Kumar playing his son, Juhi Chawla as his daughter, Karisma Kapoor the daughter-in-law and Mohnish Bahl as the new son-in-law and business associate.
It will either encourage you to think deeply about issues raised or alternately may make you decide not to think about them as there are some confused premises at times. For instance there is a long speech about violence not solving anything then a using of mob violence as a solution by the same person that gave the speech! As usual the views of another cultures can be mystifying at times but are still interesting.
This is one of those (long) Bollywoods where people hit the depths then are reinstated through divine intervention, purity of soul, fate/karma or sometimes just cleverness (or a mix of all of these).
I personally didn't find the music that memorable but it was OK, and there really isn't much dancing.
If there is a reason to watch it it is a Bollywood morality play (and they have an appeal in themselves)- and because these A-list actors are almost always very watchable.
I do agree with another reviewer about the subtitles. Mostly they were OK but at times we got a lot of white titles on pale backgrounds that were unreadable- or they just went missing for a short time at another point. I still got the gist though and they weren't the worst I've seen of this. I'll still be keeping this but if you are one that gets annoyed by this sort of problem you may decide otherwise.

4-0 out of 5 stars A bit dated but solid & well-acted
This is about a poor, high principled, recent engineering graduate from Darjeeling, called Raj (Shahrukh Khan), who moves to Bombay to become rich and successful. He meets the love of his life (Juhi Chalwa) and starts making his way. Forces start opposing his rise and he is forced to look at whether he can maintain his principles in the realities of Bombay's business world.
From 1992 it is looking a little dated. The songs and dances are fine but none particularly stand out. However all the acting is solid and SRK & Juhi are in the early stages of the great paring they continued with in other movies. There is good chemistry and they both are very watchable. SRK plays it straight and does both the conflicted aspirant and person of principles very well - as he later did in many other movies too!
Elsewhere on the Net it tends to score above average and that's where I'd put it too.
This is decent entertaining Bollywood and worth a watch.

5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome Movie
Raju is a wonderful film with a good story line and talented actors like Shah Rukh, Juhi and Nana.The movie is entertaining, heart warming and a must see.Shah Rukh in one of his earliest movie roles is at his best like usual!Songs are nice and you will enjoy this one! ... Read more

I got this movie because I love Disco Dancer and it's by the same director.The first 30 minutes are hilarious but the rest doesn't keep up.The songs are kind of boring, aside from the title song which is "Love, Love, Love" to the tune of Pet Shop Boys "It's a Sin", and a couple are basically the same as two in Disco Dancer with different words. ...

Excerpt: Kanwar Pal Singh Gill (KPS Gill) served twice as Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab, where he is credited with having brought the Punjab insurgency under control, and while the BBC reports that many see Gill as a hero, there are accusations that Gill and the forces under his command were responsible for human rights violations "... in the name of stamping out terrorism." Gill retired from the Indian Police Service in 1995. He is an author, editor, speaker, consultant on counter-terrorism, president of the Institute for Conflict Management and president of the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF). He has also been the center of controversy. In 1996, he was convicted for "patting" a senior female Indian Administrative Service officer's "posterior"(sexual harassment) at a 1988 party. After allegations of corruption within the IHF in 2008, the Indian Olympic Association suspended the IHF indefinitely. He received a Padma Shri award, India's 4th-highest civilian honor, in 1989 for his work in the civil service. As of September 2009, Gill remained president of the Institute for Conflict Management.

Excerpt: Preity Zinta (Hindi: , pronounced ; born 31 January 1975) is an Indian film actress. She has appeared in Hindi films of Bollywood, as well as Telugu, Punjabi and English language films. After graduating with a degree in criminal psychology, Zinta made her acting debut in Dil Se in 1998 followed by a role in Soldier the same year. These performances earned her a Filmfare Best Female Debut Award, and she was later recognised for her role as a teenage single mother in Kya Kehna (2000). She subsequently played a variety of character types; her film roles along with her screen persona contributed to a change in the concept of a Hindi film heroine. Zinta received her first Filmfare Best Actress Award in 2003 for her performance in the drama Kal Ho Naa Ho. She went on to play the lead female role in two consecutive annual top-grossing films in India: the science fiction film Koi... Mil Gaya, her biggest commercial success, and the star-crossed romance Veer-Zaara, which earned her critical acclaim. She was later noted for her portrayal of independent, modern Indian women in Salaam Namaste and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, top-grossing productions in overseas markets. These accomplishments have established her as a leading actress of Hindi cinema. Her first international film role was in the Canadian film Heaven on Earth, for which she was awarded the Silver Hugo Award for Best Actress at the 2008 Chicago International Film Festival.

3-0 out of 5 stars A bit retro but not too bad
This was made in 1997 with an SRK still with his puppy fat. A lot of the feel of the movie is more the Hollywood romances of the 1960s than a movie of the 90s.
However SRK is always good (and better in the second half than the first) and there is good chemistry between him and the girl (Juhi Chawla).
I was tossing up about holding onto this as it feels a bit corny and dated but it does have a certain something given all those qualifications.

3-0 out of 5 stars Hmm. The girl? Or the office?
Undoubtedly there are excellent, vastly entertaining Indian films out there (Black (Bonus - Free Star Dust Awards 2004 DVD), Main Hoon Na, Lagaan - Once Upon a Time in India, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Kuch Naa Kaho (2 Disc Set), to name just a few). But a very large percentage of Bollywood cinema requires from the audience - especially the Western audience - a grain of salt (maybe two grains of salt), a certain mindset, and lowered expectations. So many films come out of Bollywood that the law of averages dictates that a lot of them can't be quality stuff. And Bollywood is never too shy about borrowing plots and premises from Hollywood. This time around plot and premise ideas are lifted from the 1960 Jack Lemmon classic The Apartment and from 1993's For Love Or Money which starred Michael J. Fox and Gabrielle Anwar. YES BOSS, released in 1997, stars Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, although he gets second billing to Aditya Pancholi, who plays the bad guy.

Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) dreams of having his own advertising agency, a dream he believes can be realized thru the influence and financing of his boss Sidharth (Aditya Pancholi). Accordingly, he toadies up to the man, playing Sidharth's willing right hand man. But what happens when his philandering boss sets his sight on a girl Rahul himself fancies? Seema (Juhi Chawla) is a nice, beautiful middle-class girl who toils as a model and keeps very material goals in mind. She confesses to Rahul that if she herself can't achieve her goals, then she'll marry someone who can get them for her. In finessing things so that Sidharth gets close to Seema, Rahul has to face up to his own feelings, and eventually has to make a choice. The girl? Or the office?

Two and a half stars for this picture. YES BOSS is 2 hours and 37 minutes of corny film-making, but, if you're a Shah Rukh Khan fanatic, then it makes for decent watching. I didn't mind it. But if you don't know who Shah Rukh Khan is or if you haven't seen a Bollywood flick before, then you might want to wait on this one. The positives are that actress Juhi Chawla is lovely and does invite interest and sympathy and Shah Rukh Khan ultimately salvages his smarmy role. No, he's not as charismatic as Jack Lemmon or Michael J. Fox, but there's an invested anticipation as we await Rahul finally standing up against the domineering Sidharth. But, before he does, Rahul engages in so much unabashed fawning that I wanted to slap him. Meanwhile, Aditya Pancholi plays his reprehensible role with ease. His character just coldly keeps on dangling that ad agency carrot at Rahul. Pancholi is good to hiss at.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for classy Ivory Merchant stuff and sometimes I hanker for cheese. Overall, I found YES BOSS to be a slice of cheesy heaven. "Cheesy heaven," I call it, somewhat in appreciation, but I'm a Bollywood veteran by now and I know what I'm walking into. Inept acting (Johnny Lever continues to get on my last nerve), one-note characters, a plot drowning in soap opera suds, and tedious musical numbers. Yup, they're all here. But, as I've said, I'm used to the cheese, was ready for it and even had fun with it. But I don't really blame others for rolling their eyes at the blatant hokeyness of it all. And, ultimately, I can't really recommend YES BOSS. When Rahul and Seema finally declare their love for each other (in the middle of a fistfight with the villains, no less), this scene is fraught with so much cheese that I started laying out mouse traps.

But, as I've said, I'm used to the cheese, was ready for it and even had fun with it. But I don't really blame others for rolling their eyes at the blatant hokeyness of it all. And, ultimately, I can't really recommend YES BOSS. When Rahul and Seema finally declare their love for each other (in the middle of a fistfight with the villains, no less), this scene is fraught with so much cheese that I started laying out mouse traps. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs up for Salaam - e - ishq
This is a very enjoyable and well made film.A really great cast and several different storylines make the 3 + hours go by quickly.The music is wonderful, too.

5-0 out of 5 stars Must See
Smart, funny, and expertly crafted, this modern masala weaves together six love stories. Each is stylistically distinct and focuses on a different challenge that couples face. The happily married Ashutosh (played by John Abraham) and Tehzeeb (Vidya Balan) overcome family disapproval because of their religious differences but then face an even greater test when tragedy befalls them. Middle-age couple Vinay (Anil Kapoor) and Seema (Juhi Chawla) grapple with boredom and infidelity. Shiven (Akshaye Khanna) gets cold feet before his wedding to Gia (Ayesha Takia). Taxi driver Raju (Govinda) falls in love with an American woman (Shannon Esra) while helping her find the Indian lover who dumped her. Newlyweds Ram (Sohail Khan) and Phoolwati (Isha Koppikar) have a hilariously difficult time trying to consummate their marriage. Each story in this grand multistarrer delivers, but the best one is that of B-list starlet Kamini (Priyanka Chopra) and mystery-man Rahul (Salman Khan), who stage a fake romance as a publicity stunt and find true love in the process. - The Bollywood Ticket: The American guide to Indian movies (http://www.thebollywoodticket.com) Subscribe: The Bollywood Ticket

4-0 out of 5 stars Muy entretenida!
Me gustan mucho las películas de la India y en especial esta ya que tiene mucho trama y va de la comedia al drama en corto tiempo. A pesar de ser muy larga no es nada aburrida y las canciones son estupendas. En lo personal también tengo el CD de la película.

La película trata de la vida de 6 parejas que, sin saberlo, sus vidas se entrecruzan dando lugar a momentos críticos en sus relaciones como a situaciones cómicas.
