Thanks guyz.

Btw, i personally liked the first half when i watched it in theater … found the second half a tad too long at that point of time.

But, when i recently revisited the movie in DVD in leisure .. i actually liked the second half much more … this movie has aged well imo.

“I liked the Hrithik-Priety jodi here though, they paired up well together.”

agreed. hrithik is one of those actors who look good with every actress out there, maybe with the exceptional of kareena kapoor. they don’t click for some odd reason.

I liked Agar Main Kahoon song from this film.

The first half was nice. The second half was slow, boring nad confused. Trying to draw on real-life characters like TV Anchor Barkha Dutt is half-heated and doesn’t quite work. Ultimately a good attempt that does not work fully, a bit like Yuva. ( Yuva overall,is better realised.)

Thanks Achilles– I haven’t seen this film since I saw it in the cinema back when it was released; I recall preferring Hrithik in the second half a lot more than in the first half…

I like the first half here…the second half is too slow and lost interest. I liked the Hrithik-Priety jodi here though, they paired up well together.

Great review!

The first half is great and keeps you enticed though the second half does crawl at some places but a very good movie overall and Farhan’s most difficult directorial venture so far.

Lakshya is one of my fav movies of the decade and one of HRs best performances.The rock climbing sequences gave me a international feel.Overall a fantastic effort from the young director.I have never seen the scenes being shot stylishly ever before.

i liked lakshya as well. i agree with you about the performances, everybody was good!. this is one of hrithik’s best performances. the film dragged in places due to being about 25 minutes too long, but overall its a commendable effort by farhan akhtar

Nice set of thoughts, Ach! Lakshay is my favorite Hrithik’s film so far, like it bit more than JA.
