Production :

Before the production of the film, Bachchan was attempting a revival of his career with little success, and was also in financial trouble with the bankruptcy of his production company, ABCL, not only hurting his image but leaving him almost penniless. It was at this time that Bachchan contacted his friend, director-producer Yash Chopra, who told him of an upcoming production that he could be in.[3] With Mohabbatein, Bachchan was finally able to shed his “hero” image and to play older, more mature roles.[3] This was also the first film in which Bachchan and Khan appeared together. This created a strong buzz for the film, as it brought two huge stars of different generations together.

Mohabbatein Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 7.1 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 26438.

One of the best Shahrukh Khan movies I must say. I am not a Shahrukh fan but this has to be one of his best performances. I am not a Hindi movie buff, and I prefer watching English rather than the soapy Hindi movies but this 3 hour plus epic has to be an exception.

One of the prime reasons why I loved this movie is because the fictitious “Gurukul” is almost identical to my old school, Calcutta Boys’. When Big B says those words that “Gurukul students hold top positions in all fields in the outside world, due to the strict discipline” I am forced to think back of Clifford Hicks, our principal in the late 60’s. He became nominated to the Parliament because of his fame as a stupendous disciplinarian.

Critics Rating , from desimartini give 4 star out of 5 Star.
