Lovely movie well-crafted presentation,Kareena and Rani deliver one of their best performances.This is a movie they will be remembered for.It did remind me of a story that was in our high-school English literature book,"Remember the Roses" by Avery Taylor.This was the last among the 16 odd stories in a book of short stories aptly titled, “A Treasury of Short Stories” – a book that we read as a part of our curriculum in English literature for our ICSE exams.
