No doubt, This is one of the best performance of SALMAN KHAN !! But the story seems illogical to me. other actors were good specially Jackie shroff. karina's performance could have been better. Some of the scenes were very familiar to another movie called " One flew over the cuckoo's nest".
Above all , a must watch movie for SALMAN lovers.

Plot summary
Widowed Colonel Khurana, a resident of India, goes to London, accumulates enough wealth, returns to India, opens a private Sanatorium for the insane, and hires his daughter, Tanvi, as one of the psychiatrists'. His second-in-charge is Dr. Sunil. Tanvi looks after patient #36, a woman by the name of Shobhna Mathur, quite lovingly, almost like the mother she never had. Then Shobhna gets well, is discharged and unable to recollect Tanvi's loving care. This does hurt Tanvi, so she decides never to get close to any patient, especially the new patient #36, Anand J. Sharma, who has been admitted by a Court Order. Circumstances do make Tanvi and Anand get close, so close that they fall in love with each other. But her disciplinarian father has chosen a suitor named Karan, and is not willing to take the risk of Tanvi marrying a mental patient, especially one like Anand, who has been arrested and charged with killing his fiancée, Maya.

Could have been better
First the good points-good acting from Salman Khan,good picturesque cinematography,nice songs ...totally unexpected ending. Now the bad...the screenplay doesn't grab,on screen chemistry between the lead pairs is not very convincing.
The pacing of the film could have been better and as it is a serious kind of subject ...it doesn't give much hope for future serious Priyadarshan films a la Viraasat.Especially considering the Box office success of all his comedies.
The film is worth a look if you are looking for a non stereotypical role from lover boy Salman.

For: Kareena & Romania; Against: Melodrama & Poor chemistry
Plot Outline: Anand (Salman) is admitted to an asylum where Dr. Tanvi (Kareena), her father (Om Puri) & Dr. Sunil (Jackie Shroff) are psychiatrists. Tanvi learns of Anand's tragic past of his lover Maya's (Rimi Sen) death and the murder charge on him. Whilst helping his recovery, the two fall in love against the wishes of her father. The Official Website calls it "A passionate love story, twisted by fate at its imaginative best".
Comment: The story traces its lineage to Hollywood's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' which Priyadarshan has portrayed in 'Thalavattam' (Malayalam) and 'Kyon Ki'. Although some called it a comedy, I would call it a tragedy. Jokes involving the mentally challenged are history. The melodramatic climax actually leaves the viewer nauseating. Character development is poor with lead pair's love and chemistry hardly noticeable.
Salman is bearable and Kareena though plump looks adorable in sarees. Om Purie, Jackie Shroff and Rimi are passable. Sunil Shetty's cameo was avoidable. Of the songs, 'Kyon ki itna pyar' and 'Dil Keh Raha Hai' are worthy. Priyadarshan could rather stick to comedies like Hungama or Garam Masala for better BO success.
Rating: 4/10
