GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

varghesejunior I watched "Humse hai muqabla" only because I likes 2 songs in the film -Urvasi Urvasi and Muqala Muqabla.Story - Basically a love story with a mix of politics and crime in it. A college secretary from humble background falls in love with the chief minister's daughter, and that is not accepted by their families.The best aspects are only the music, the choreography and some of the stunt sequences. That's all.Otherwise the film is just phattu and lengthy - comedy, dance, action...all this mixed in over 2.5 hours. Surely it cannot work out nowadays.Simple description, right?

scrapthedew I'm the hugest fan of Shankar's movies and this is the only one of his movies I had'nt seen. People would know that of all of Shankars movies, this one is the least talked about. Even so it became a super hit. Because of the fanfare, I actually went and FOOLISHLY bought the DVD for over $10 even though I had some reservations about it. You can imagine my disappointment. To add insult to injury, I actually read the movie's gist on the cover, giving away pretty much all of the very little or non existent storyline.The story is utter horse crap. Boy loves Girl. Girl's dad is bad guy politician who wants to bomb some places using Raghuvaran. Bad guy doesn't like Romance so locks up daughter and beats up the hero. Thats about 90% of the story. The rest concerns the bombing of the general hospital which Prabhu Deva has to save and he does, with no problem. The end.There are very few good things about this movie. One of them is SP Balasubramanium's brilliant performance as Prabhu's father. The Father-Son relationship really touches you deeply. Second is the performance of the evil Policewoman who really delivers a killing role in all its glorious wretchedness. Nagma's acting is slightly above average. The romantic scenes which fill up this film are extremely annoying and I spent most of the time playing with myself waiting for them to get over. Eventually I wound up using the fast forward button. So boring was so much of this film and I could'nt believe that this was a Shankar movie? The final part of the movie is mildly interesting. The chaos at the general hospital has been done well. But there is no twist besides the one you will easily predict ie the feud between the assassin/bomber (Raghuvaran) and the bad guy Politician. The ending is terrible. Need I mention that Vadivelu's comedy (his early days when I was thin) was also complete nonsense? The comic relief factor completely fails.This is Shankar's worst movie. It is much worse than Anniyan. Anniyan at least entertained despite its numerous flaws. This one wont even having you smiling once or twice. It doesn't even deserve put on the same league as the rest of Shankar's movies. I think I'll go and see "Boys" again to wash the effect of this movie off.

tharun mohan Its a quite sensitive romantic action musical Its music is spectacular and it was widely appreciated and most of its sequences are very well done. Its basically a poor boy meets rich girl kinda story but in here our hero is a son of a police constrable and he is in love with the corrupted governor's daughter and the story revolves around with the characters backed by beautiful scenes and music this film was way ahead of its time when released and can still enjoy watching it. its a group effort and good direction by Shankar and spectacular music by A.R Rahman Prabu Deva has done good acting this movie was his launch pad as an actor and this movie also gave A R Rehman a national recognition backed by splendid performance by Girish Karnad and Raghu Varan (Villian)
