Mann (1999) Reviews

• Good, interesting and beautifully melancholic

  Peter_Young2009-08-12

  Mann is in my honest opinion one of the best films of 1999. It is at first a very nice, light romance which later turns into a sad and emotional drama. The story is very beautiful and is reminiscent of the 1965 classic 'Arzoo', the music is fantastic, and the acting is very effective. Among the songs, "Khushiyan Aur Gham" is one of my most favourite songs ever. Aamir Khan delivers an excellent performance. Although he is not very convincing as a womaniser, he is very good as a suffering lover. I think the best thing about his acting at that point of time was his simplicity and restraint, and that he never tried to do more than required (as I said, at least until that point of time). Manisha Koirala gives an amazing performance. She is intense, compelling and moving as always and does not at any point try to victimise her character. The film's big tragic twist is a tough moment to see, a moment which makes you realise how unexpected life can be and how important it is to cherish every moment of it. This is a wonderful and touching picture. I highly recommend.

• A Poetry in Motion

  The best movie in the last 2 decades. Aamir Khan outdid himself in every scene. Manisha Koirala was very beautiful and her pain is evident throughout the movie. Definitely the best movie she has acted in. Sharmila Tagore as Dev's grandmother was heart wrenching. Anil Kapoor as usual was good. Above all the Director and his treatment of the movie was mesmerizing. The songs are melodious and meaningful. I have seen this movie at least 6 times and every time I enjoyed it even more than before. I would suggest to the viewers they must see this movie at least a couple times to really appreciate the movie. In all I would say it is a poetry in motion.

• Best Movie of 1999

  akhan1999-09-07

  I watched Mann a few days after it was released. Manisha Koirala and Aamir Khan are at the peak of their performance. Though it is a remake of a film 'All about an Affair' but the director's work is commendable. I'd want Manisha to be nominated for the best actress award for this movie. The soundtrack is excellent. 'Tinak Tin tana', 'Mera mann', 'Kehna' are the numbers with extremely catching tunes. I'd recommend this movie to all the indian movie lovers.

• Amazing Movie

  vkvask2006-02-11

  First of all this movie is an copy of "An Affair to Remember". But it's a great remake - especially since it's an Indian movie. The musical numbers are really nice. At least one of those which was copied from an Italian song (Toto Cutungo) - I actually found this out after listening to it in a cab in Paris! Perhaps other songs were copied as well. However, all the elements, even if they were copied, fit together wonderfully. Perhaps they fit together even better because they combined so many extraordinary elements (the story line of an American classic & Italian song and of course the emotions captured in Indian movies). Personally, this movie really touched me more than any other. The movie starts off very simply and suddenly brings out the emotions come out strong. Note: the copied song I was referring to was "Nasha Yeh Pyar Kya"
