This movie was a mixed bag. The cinematography was great, as well as the music. I've been to India, and at times it captured the feeling of the country perfectly. Then after all this beautiful scenery, music and dancing, it turns into a late night "skinemax" film! Some of it was hot, sometimes it was almost funny and farfetched, like a porn. It's good entertainment.

The setting was great; colorfully lavish and it really captured the time and the elegance of India in the 1500's.The storyline was exoctic and erroctic if you want to see a movie that titilates, this would be the right one. the actors were beatiful especially the lead. The movie did manage to make me forget I was watching and movie and become engrossed in the plot. Kudos....Not at all bolloywoodish.

I like the movie except the ending. I won't spill it out but I just don't like sad ending. They could have done a better job writing that last part.

This is one of Mira Nair's greatest execution in film history. The story line is filled with a beautiful cast that portrays sensualality, jealousy, passion, hope, sympathy and deep love.

This movie was entertaining because it was sexy. But I expected more in ways of lighting, background, and just plain movie savvy. It was an interesting story but it ran kinda boring after a while. ...

This movie was entertaining because it was sexy. But I expected more in ways of lighting, background, and just plain movie savvy. It was an interesting story but it ran kinda boring after a while. The ending was terrible and left me with a shortened feeling about the entire movie. I still enjoyed watching it... but wouldn't recommend it wholeheartedly.

The setting and costumes was very beautiful, however the acting was lackluster. I also found the plot to be predictable and dull as well.
