as the callers responses weren't empowering at all to make an impact to the viewer. I felt on whole the film was a little let down by the script but top marks to Hrithik as he did make the most of what he was required of him. In fact after this film I do believe that he is definitely one of the best actors Bollywood has to offer and he can only get better.  Overall, excellent acting let down by poor execution of a highly sensitive topic.

next best magician but that was cut short and his role became dull and bland.  Other characters too had a vital role to press on the issue of euthanasia but I feel the topic was just too hot to handle and I don't think the script writers really knew how to deal with it. For example, they tried to show that by involving peoples opinions over the radio might encourage the Indian Court to take a sympathetic approach to allowing mercy killing but really even that wasn't portrayed well either as the...

in day to day Hollywood movies. The problem with this film is, however, that it is very stagnant and doesn't really take off. The film had much more potential to do and offer so much more. The relationship between Hrithik and Ashwariya could have been much more gripping, instead it levitated throughout the whole film and I waited to see when the film would actually take off. The magician's apprentice wasnt utilised well either, I thought they could have showed how the apprentice became the...

Personally I thought Hrithik Roshan and Ashwaria were brilliant in the film but I can understand why the film did not do well with the audience. After only watching 5 minutes if the film I was thinking that this film was going to offer award winning performances from these highly talented bollywood stars. The script was most unique concentrating on the sensitive issue of euthanasia and I was starting to look at the new age of bollywood films which were now shadowing a glimpse of what we expect...

Guzaarish is missing a certain entertainment factor like song and dance which Indian movies are synonymous with, but I think that not all Indian movies need song and dance. The Indian audience just need to grow up. Maybe the Indian audience, sadly, are just not yet mature enough to understand a movie like this or maybe are just too used to stupid songs with half naked girls and bad comedy which Golmaal 3 is all about.
