I have loved Subhash Ghai's movies since I was a young child, Saudagar and Ram Lakhan being my favourites from him. Yaadein was his worst but in my opinion his work was starting to get strained way before then,Pardes I found average at best but Taal is a bore and very overrated. The story is very unoriginal, boy and girl fall in love, then he jilts her and she finds someone else but then in a strange twist of fate they meet again. The plot strand has been used before in movies like Amar Prem,Chandni,Ghar Ka Chriag and Dewaana. Taal is almost saved by some excellent songs, my favourite being Taal se taal or Nahin samne. I have a feeling that the only reason Taal is so highly regarded is because of the songs but take the songs out and what you're left with a mediocre movie.
