I havent seen the film, nor do i knw Luchino Visconti.I only knw Sanjay Leela Bhansali.A gem of our industry.Let Luchino Visconti speak for himself.U dont need a mouthful of criticism to savour A Bhansali Film..but a heart as pure as Nature to feel the enigma Mr.Bhansali creates via his Movies.One shud try to make a master piece first & then comments.Its easy to criticise others than oneself.My request to rediff.com,please so some mercy to Indian Cinema..and choose good critics.this one is painful.
