Comments:
This movie is a great coming-of-age drama, with romance, comedy, suspense and sports action . There are some fabulous performances, including Ayesha Jhulka as Anjali, the girl-next-door. The plot mirrors the Hollywood movie "Breaking Away", but improves on it with entertaining music and dance performances. Especially of note is Yahaan Ke Hum Sikander (a memorable romp to escape school), Shehar Ki Pariyon (a truly fun festival dance) and Pehla Nasha (a great romantic melody). Just an all round wonderful film to watch -- if you are looking for a Bollywood classic, this is one of the best!
