Aishwarya seems to be developing into a fine actress. She looks beautiful in a quite sober and soft role. Though she looks pained and tragic in most of the film, she does a good job of a woman who is very protective of her father and one who doesn’t think twice before rejecting a lover who has insulted her father.
Ghai’s style shows through despite his effort to maintain a very north Indian flavour. And it is in the picturisation that his songs actually gain in value. They tend to grow on you thereafter.

The music of Taal is doing extremely well. There are 12 songs in the film. Ghai has once again made his songs a treat for the eyes. Ramta Jogi may well have the audience on their feet.
