The post-interval song

The post-interval portions suffer largely because the screenplay now becomes very predictable and run-of-the-mill. There’s a mujra, then a dream song [an English track] comes up, then the usual chase ensues, with the hero defeating all his opponents one by one, then the prince surfaces on the scene suddenly and then the climax, when the lovers go separate ways. But that’s not the end. The two women, who love Kisna dearly, meet again during the sunset of their lives and talk of Kisna’s love for Catherine.
