Bollywood Crazies Opinion: A glossy musical feel good film that seems to be a big longer then expected. You could watch this film if you like High School Musical kind of films. For me, watching talents like Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman in one film is enough for me.
Altogether, except the length of this film, everything has worked for me. Except few issues, it’s a well made musical.
Last word: Watch it for the starcast and its musical appeal.
Bollywood Crazies Ratings: The Prom Review: Distinction (70 percent out of 100).
