What critics said
Critics broadly found the star-studded Hindi melodrama emotionally bold and intermittently enjoyable but predictable, unsubtle, and disappointing in execution.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Gopal repeatedly interprets Radha's time with her childhood friend Suraj as evidence of disloyalty, driving the separation and divorce notice.
The film centers heartbreak, jealousy, separation, and reconciliation with emphatic performances and a highly emotional register.
Radha's lifelong bond with Suraj becomes the central source of Gopal's insecurity and the marriage's breakdown.
Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Madhuri Dixit anchor a Hindi-language production whose appeal depends heavily on major stars, songs, and heightened romance.
