A must watch movie
It is one of the best movies that Bollywood has ever made for Indian society and over so many socio-cultural and gender issues together. Though it was not a box office hit (in India) but this also is one of the issues that one can find in the movie (means, why Indian people don't like such issue based movies, more specifically "Parallel Cinemas", or what most of the people want from Bollywood). Any way, I think this movie deserves to be seen at least once by every one...I don't know how many ...
