Old yet passionate, frail yet sublime, the estranged lovers in Yash Chopra’s film are no ordinary love birds. Their body language, demeanour, speech and attitude hark back to an era when emotions were hallmarks of human nature, not designer things to be used as and when required in bubblegum concoctions that masquerade as romantic musicals in our wretched times.

An old-fashioned love tale for the tear-ducts. Which, I must pleasantly note, still holds and very mildly moves you.
