i felt slightly disappointed with the reviews i read about the movie. my review is totally contradictory. i loved the movie. it is one of those movies which closely follows the script of the novel. i read a lot and basically get cheesed off when movies are adapted from novels because they do no justice to the book. but this movie does full justice. even more so there are few characters which have been slightly lifted and they look much better on screen than they did in the novel...

the story as in the novel has already been a-credited with being an international best seller. the movie being so close to novel speaks for itself. there has been a low turn out for the movie; maybe because a lot of recently released movies have failed to meet expectations. this movie should do good business through word of mouth publicity.

i don't want to dwell on the story line because i feel one should watch it for sure. and it kills the essence of the movie when one hears the story first. the story line is very simple and best liked when watched first hand... it may sound lil boring while being heard....when i had heard the story (for the novel) i had declined to read it. the only reason why i did read the novel was because his first and third novel were fabulous so it did make me read the second one just for the sake of completing the author... sometimes the experience has to be first hand to be enjoyed... i would say the movie is a must watch
