The actor, Ranbir, is fabulous. The actress is some new half-Pakistani model from the US. She's pretty disgraceful as an actress but very very very beautiful (which is necessary for the story line). There are so many scenes filmed in areas right next my house in Delhi -- and so many GORGEOUS scenes of Kashmir. Supposedly this is also the first Bollywood film to portray a Kashmiri Pandit wedding.
Also, the movie has the forever famous Shammi Kapoor's (Ranbir's grandfather) very last scene before his death.
Can't get the Qawwali song out of my head. I love Sufi music. Have a listen:

"Kun Fayakun" supposedly is from a part of the Quran that goes: "When He decrees a thing, He says to it only: 'Be!' And it is." It is literally the "'Be!' and it is" part.
I hope I can actually witness a many hour Qawwali performance one day.
