(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an awesome Bollywood classic. I can't believe it's unavailable. Check it out on Netflix. They have it. All the songs are awesome. The plot is totally original and kept me on my toes. It is almost like a story from classical mythology. A boy's mother dies at a very young age and he is heartbroken. His father remarries and the boy is introduced to her on his birthday. For him, his mother had returned. One prob- his mother is out to get the family fortune, because as in all Bollywood movie, the family is very wealthy. This is a long term scam though and will take years to pull off. The boy is so infatuated with his mother that he takes every word of hers as gospel. She has him work in the fields like a peasant and denies him an education. He grows up to be very strong, but very stupid. Things get difficult when the boy, now a man, falls in love. The girl finds about about the mother's evil scheme but the man is so stupid and brainwashed with her that he doesn't believe her. He is so angry with her at one point he belts her a good one. "Never talk bad about my mother!" The only bad part in this movie is there is a fat bald woman!!! She runs around and hits the main character after he takes off her wig, revealing her baldness. Every song is a classic, this movie is awesome."
