Talk about over use of melodrama. I cannot understand how audience is expected to digest this pathetic excuse of a movie. Something like this is better left as a reality show or made for TV movie or for some saas/bahu kind of soap opera. From the time Madhuri received the call and has the first meeting with Ahshaye, the rest of movie is entirely predictable. There is absolutely nothing in the movie that is worthy of mention apart from a couple of good scenes by Raghuvir Yadav and Irfaan Khan, which is why this gets 3 and not 1 out of 10. Melodrama is not alien to Bollywood movies, but this was way too much. I mean at the end of it the goonda politician who would sell his soul for power and money is shown crying and business man who would bribe one and all has had a sudden change of heart! Please!! Is this the best you can put out?!! Also, too many musical numbers and none really catchy. I detest movies like these, they make me want to quit watching desi movies...it is that bad.

Just for Madhuri Dixit! This is MD's first movie role since Devdas (2002) and it is worth a watch just to see the India's beauty on screen again.HOWEVER...THE MOVIE'S PLOT LINE SUCKED. It was beyond ridiculous and boring and unrealistic at best. Plus, Madhuri Dixit (now a mother of 2 boys) certainly did hold back in her acting, as she is known as being a bold, confidant type of female character.The songs are good, and the movie has a number of great actors such as Madhuri, Akshaye Khanna, Konkona Sen Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Kunal Kapoor and Divya Dutta.However, Madhuri if possible should return to films but accept small supporting roles as well (such as Rani Mukherjee's character in Saawariya) because there won't be a great shooting load and she has aged and no longer can carry a film judging by Aaja Nachle's failure.AGain, I do say watch the film if you want to see Madhuri again, the movie does solely get a 7/10 for her presence (or else it would get a 2/10) or watch one of her other films instead such as HAHK, Devdas or even Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam.Also, there should have been more focus on her relationship with Akshaye Khanna than the "theatre play" and politics.

Aaja Nachle is nothing special, but I wouldn't say that it's a waste of time to watch. Essentially, it's kinda like RDB meets Swades, except with a woman as the NRI who returns to India, and a much, much, much lighter story. You can read the plot summary elsewhere, so I'll just focus on other stuff: The film has some fun music, a few funny scenes, great dance sequences (duh!), and is generally well paced and entertaining. I would have liked to see more of Akshaye Khanna's character, though. The film's problem is mostly that it's really thin on plot, and does not take much time to develop the characters. Overall, this film is nothing amazing, but it's a fun entertainer.

Personally, it is one of the best films I have seen over a long time. It is commercial, but has a lot of meaning... there is a message for many, right from lovers... to politicians.As you must be knowing, making a film, means spending money, and all they look for is to derive back that money. As the saying goes, if one does good, good follows. And so most of the bollywood flicks turn out to be glamour and mimicries.But here is a bunch of people who require a grand appluase for their hard work, time and money.I am sure there are more who wish to do good, am sure, watching this film will inspire them.In this case too, am sure the film is going to succeed well. And I really hope they get the money back, so that more "MEANING-FULL" films come up.I am not commenting on the story, because I guess its already available, am here trying to just share the treasure.films like this can definitely make the world a better place...Congrats!!!Thanks for reading this review and hope you do good.
