This movie caused complete chaos in the theatres in Pakistan, where it completed a year long succesful run. The story is an intelligent one: Zara Shiekh plays Preity, an Indian Sikh girl who comes to Pakistan with her father on an annual Sikh Pilgrimage and falls for the charms of Shaan, a Pakistani banker. The love saga begins and culminates in the tortured valley of Kashmir, where the movie portrays well as to how the Indian Military juggernaut works in suppressing the ongoing revolt in the disputed territory of Kashmir( United Nations recognises Kashmir as a disputed territory between India and Pakistan). Even though the movie was shot 100% in Pakistan, Kashmir looks like Kashmir and every detail has been given attention. The portion where Preity and Shaan are on  the run from the Indian Army towards the LOC [Line of control that divides the Indian held Kashmir and Pakistani Kashmir]to cross into Azad Kashmir i.e the Pakistani portion of Kashmir, was very gripping. The background score is very apt, but this movie being a musical, the soundtrack is not among its best of strengths. Zara Sheikh looks absolutely smashing, and is no doubt the top rated movie star in Pakistan charging a whopping Rs 1 Million per movie! Her acting, along with Shaan's is absolutely top class. The gentleman who playes  Zara Sheikh's father deserves a special mention - he puts zillion tonnes of energy into his role and the movie. Veena Malik as Amna, playing Zara Sheikh's friend makes no serious sparks on the screen.

A special mention for the replica of the 'Taj Mahal' that was contsructed at the Bagh-e-Jinaah [the Garden of Jinnah] in Lahore. Kudos to the art director for doing such an amazing job! For excellent acting and a tight script, along with its overall stylish production, I'd rate this movie a 9.5/10. It's a major feat for Pakistani cinema!
