Love it or hate it, you cannot deny that this lavish ode to adultery created a buzz that spanned the continents. Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy's memorable music framed the story of two unhappily married people who fall in fall with other people, setting in motion a train wreck of anguish and despair.

Amitabh Bachchan provided the comic relief but even his sparkling performance was not enough to lift the movie out of its emotional doldrums, making a repeat viewing of the film very painful.

Despite all the brickbats thrown at the movie, I thought it represented a genuine attempt at analysing the curve of an affair. Cinematically, it was a departure from Karan Johar's previous candyfloss efforts.
