Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Velina Kozhuharova The film starts very nice and easy , allows the viewer to get used to the main characters and get to know them well enough. The story goes on to get more serious and in the same time not being overly dramatic or too much in your face. There is a lot of comedy brilliantly positioned on the right places. The cast is one of the best things about PBDHH. Shahrukh Khan plays his part excellently and you fall in love with his character pretty soon. Juhi Chawla is brilliant and brings the movie to a new level. She is one of the few Indian actresses who refuse to give the spotlight only to the hero of the movie.Her comedy timing and amazing facial expressions deserve to be applauded. Shahrukh and Juhi together are pure magic on screen. They compliment each other very well and are doing justice to their roles. Someone who really deserves mentioning is Johny Lever who delivers the best comic scenes in the movie. The rest of the cast is also doing a great job and no character is left behind. The movie has a frame and a story-line which keep you watching till the end. The overall message is strong and leaves the viewer satisfied. Overall an excellent Indian movie which gives you comedy , romance , drama and a good story. If you are a fan of Indian cinema and want to see some quality I recommend you to watch it.

Avinash Patalay Not many movies have been set against the media industry as the backdrop. The other ones that come to mind are "New Delhi Times" and "Main Azaad Hoon" and both of them though critically acclaimed didn't set the cash registers ringing. Hey, I am lost for words... jinxed perhaps?Year: 2000. Situation: TV channels was still an sunrise industry. There wasn't a glut in the market vying for the audience or a murky fight for the TRP's. Perhaps owing to which, the audience couldn't understand the meaning of media manipulation. The movie starts off on a light note with the boy and the girl working for competitor's TV channels on loggerheads with each other, no rocket science here... love-story ensues and finally getting down to serious business to fight for justice for unjust done to common man. The audience expectations were probably not correctly calibrated and the "fighting for a cause + patriotism + national movement" came as a bolt from blue to the audience resulting in an indigestible fare.• SRK:: Gives his 100% to the role making it a very convincing portrayal. • Juhi:: Very good and as usual compliments well with SRK.• Satish Shah & Dilip Tahil as gullible media magnets were justified.• Paresh Rawal as the "eye-of-the-storm" has his moments and delivers to the utmost perfection.• Govind Namdeo and Shakti Kapoor as vile politicians justify their parts well.• Johnny Lever is usual self.• It was nostalgic to see a few characters from "Nukkad".Jatin-Lalit provide good music. There is no doubt about Javed Akhtar's capabilities on lyrics. Sharmista Roy and Farah Khan deserve a special mention for contribution to art direction & choreography respectively.Director ensured that all the ingredients were in adequate proportions and doesn't go overboard on any of them. There is a soul in the movie and the goods have been delivered with conviction. Had the movie been made today, the audience would have related to it spot-on. The movie has a good social message and deserves to be posthumously declared as an satire on the media. PS: Evidently, outright rejection from the audience has put off SRK to make meaningful cinemas.

Natalia Adriana If you've seen Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I'd dare say you would say Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is da' bomb. Well, I totally agree. Actually, it's not that I don't like this movie, it's just that this movie is more into politics, hates and revenge than love and comedy.But Shahrukh Khan is the best actor (well, besides Salman Khan and Aamir Khan), but I'd rather say this movie is quite boring from the middle until the ends. Hope that Shah Rukh Khan will produce more love movies in the future.

zeshan-2 A very bold offering by Dreamz Unlimited, "Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani", takes the audience into an area of Hollywood that has been explored many times before: corrupt politicians. Although this time the crusaders against these power hungry fanatics are the two TV journalists Shahrukh Khan and the glamorous Juhi Chawla.The film is fast and the storyline moves just at the right pace, the only problem is some of the songs are not the musical extravaganzas one would expect from such a huge film. A point to be noted is that a few of the songs are there to add layers to the story and thus you would find yourself enthralled by the onscreen action.Shahrukh does a fantastic job of playing the role of a TV News Spin Doctor, realising the values of truth and honesty. The character he portrays is believable; his transformation is his conscience, not his personality.Juhi Chawla, a veritable goddess of the silver screen, gives her character the right amount of charisma, charm and sophistication. Another bonus is that Juhi looks stunning in every scene.The film also makes use of great camera angles and uses a wide variety of special effects that will leave you clinging to your seat. A great sequence in the first half of the film will make you wonder if you are actually watching a movie from Hollywood.Indian patriotism takes a backseat until towards the end, so the film does not suffer the stereotype that I expected from the adverts.Overall the film has a watertight storyline, great humour, packed to the brim with action, and who can actually say no to a film with the gorgeous Juhi Chawla!
