When her wimpish husband (Bobby Deol, suitably cast) forces the wife to sign the divorce papers she immediately builds a new life for herself, and smilingly returns the cheque that hubby dear wants to give his dumped wife as a conscience pacifier. And yet Priyanka Chopra is no walkover either. Amidst a torrent of indifferent Nadeem-Shravan songs that pin down the plot, "Barsaat" is a film that manages to squeeze in an important message for deserted wives.
And yet to deny the archaic magnetism of "Barsaat" is to deny the most renewable traditions of Hindi cinema.

It's easy and trendy to be ultra-cynical about a film like "Barsaat" where the values propagated and the images generated seem to have emanated from a frozen time of movie montages that date back to the oldest tradition of the kitschy formula. In "Barsaat" she reveals that rare ability, which Sridevi possessed to rise above the screen material and lack of support from co-stars to prove herself a complete scene stealer, since she lifts many of the most mundane moments in this old fashioned, and at times pale melodrama.
Within a year Priyanka has grown into a formidable screen queen. But you sure as hell can't take your eyes off this lady as she performs a role that requires her to be coy and captivating, strong and sobbing, demure and dynamic. We don't have a Hindi word for divorce because the concept is alien to our culture." You may not agree with Kajal, aka Priyanka Chopra, and the pungent wisdom that's thrust on her by dialogue writers K.K. At a filmy picnic the disgruntled husband Bobby Deol, who wants to divorce his stunningly desirable wife Priyanka Chopra (only god and the script writer know why anyone would want to do something so foolhardy), is asked: "What's the Hindi word for divorce?" Talaq, comes the grumpy answer.
