Name: Akarshan
Genre: Romance
Rating: 5.2
Cast: Akbar Khan, Sonu Walia, Girish Karnad

The movie was, perhaps, ahead of its times.. the plot being rather novel.. the female leads very very gorgeous and the music track AWESOME. Akbar Khan, the lead actor, disappoints with his lack of acting talent and wooden dialog delivery.. but the movie impresses. The soundtrack (sorry to repeat)reflects the talent of Ajit Singh, a nightclub singer, music director (of very few films) and a true-blue Indian prince. The track (KABHI KABHI.. DIL YEH ROTA HAI) is stunning. We also have a rather philosophical number, courtesy, Bappi Lahiri, a prominent music director of yesteryear's. Watchable for its awesome sound track and gorgeous actresses, if nothing else..

Bollywood has become a powerful cultural phenomenon, resonating with audiences around the world.
