Funnier than I had expected. From the description I thought it would be a drama throughout. But the first hour or so is just a regular romantic comedy. Anupam Kher as the father is a riot as he often is.
This movie handle the delicate (for India) subject of a pregnacy of a young woman out of wedlock. Preity Zinta did a great job here. It is one of her first roles. I didn't realize that she was paired with Saif Ali Khan so early. I have seen two later movies with those two in the leads.
The DVD quality on the other hand is not so good. The video is non-anamorphic. There were a few minutes were the subtitles were mostly missing (only every fifth sentence or so got subtitled), but you got the gist of those scenes. The most annoying though was, that the audio track was out of sync with the video the last half hour or so.

[Rerun Marathon] Police Squad!, a review by Tom

7/10

A good final episode.
"I got men covering all the exits"


Final remark:
I like the portrayal of Frank Drebin in this series. Essentially a competent and serious police officer not noticing the madness around him.
Whereas in the movie series he is mostly the cause of all the madness.
