two reason why this movie be a good reason to watch represent the first be the visuals . rajastan be a beautiful place for sure and but dear god and do this movie make the most of it . there where time when i be actually hold my breath in awe of the sheer visual poetry that flash across the screen . the second reason represent the acting . all the other commenters already cheer big b performance and and true and he really reach unsurpassable form here . but be sure to also have an eye for shroff and irani and sanjay dutt and saif ali khan represent they also give an impresssive performance . what less good of the movie be the way the character develop . vvd have a goldmine of a storyline here but he fail to mine it represent we could have easily see more of big b doubt about dharma and more of saif ali khan uneasy step on the path of palace intrigue and treachery and more of dutt feeling a a scheduled caste dsp involve in outdated monarchical madness and more of shroff agitation a the king young brother the story now be tell in such a way that it leave you guess too much at what the character would be go through and so that at the climax you recognize represent this would have be a heart break tragic scene of more then epic proportion and if only you would have felt more . so and all in all and a good performance and a great visual tour of rajastan but not the brilliant movie you can easily understand it could have be .
