Taal (1999)
A delight to the senses.

In short, the story is not unique nor very clever. However, the cinematography is fabulous. In particular, the opening scenes highlight Subhash Ghai's talented team. The music of A.R. Rahman with lyrics by legendary Anand Bakshi is the best I have heard in the last 5 years.
The acting is clearly lacking. Akshaye Khanna at times makes funny facial expressions (he's no Jim Carry). Aishwarya Rai's acting is at par but nothing spectacular. Anil Kapoor clearly takes the ball and runs with it. He has the best dialogue and most emotions. Amrish Puri again plays his usual stern self.
Overall, the cinematography, music and lyrics overshadow the acting and it delights the senses. Highly recommended for pure entertainment value.
