It was Dr. Siddharth Sinha�s (Amitabh Bachchan�s) Armaan to create a high tech hospital in a small village so that he could help people and as he rightly points out in the very first scene �Doctor banana ek zimmidaari hai ��, and he spends his entire life doing just that.

A film that deals with doctors, their complete dedication to their vocation and their patients and also one that deals with a child�s need to complete what his father was unable to. The fact that his father would not have wanted him to follow the path that he chose to somehow didn�t seem all that important to the junior doctor.

Amitabh Bachchan in a small but brilliant role. Anil Kapoor in a long and equally powerful role. Gracy Singh well cast, but didn�t quite live up to expectations and unfortunately a very clich�d performance by Priety Zinta who comes across more like a psychotic individual rather than just a spoilt rich brat and if that was actually the intention then Honey Irani should�ve backed it up with at least a couple of scenes showing that several psychiatrists had failed to help the poor girl. In absence of that, one just ends up wondering why Soniya Kapoor is behaving in such a weird way.

The music is just about alright though Zinta�s half hearted attempt at looking sexy in the now very popular �mere dil ka tumsey hai kehna �� spoils the otherwise excellent tune.

All in all a strong and different story and surely a watchable film with well drafted characters that you do end up caring for.

The end of the film is also �hatke� in that it deviates from the typical Bollywood adage that once married � always married. And that is interesting because it shows that Bollywood is also changing along with the times.
