Sridevi did however look gorgeous throughout the long and tedious movie. By her own admission, (in MOVIE magazine interview - scroll back in the archives) she said she got the maximum flak for this and Chaand Kaa Tukdaa - also featuring Salman Khan.
Written as a children's fantasy film (that borrowed heavily from movies such as the Tom Hanks film BIG and the Telugu supernatural-fantasy film, Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari!), shoddy direction and editing made this movie mostly unwatchable. The critics loathed it back then, the audience flocked in and... well, flocked off! Word of mouth quickly spread that the movie was dreadful.

And yet, thanks to the Facebook fan page of Sridevi (see here), we find that, indeed there are fans of this movie! Esp younger generation who saw the film on TV and ended up liking the frothy adventure - it should have been heavily marketed as a children's film and might have done better.
We didn't care for the film. At all. But have seen the songs and Sridevi in it repeatedly. She's just gorgeous in the movie...
