I have to say this is one of the finest stories in India cinema. The acting is stellar. Kajol is fantastic, and i enjoy her more playing roles that are out of her norm. The one thing i have to say about this movie is that the music is fantastic. The other thing, its a very colorful and hilarious movie and a bit of a tear jerker towards the end. Although one many not recognize the other lead actors, although they are quite famous in the south. I think the ambiguity that these actors bring works in the movies favor. The musical numbers are very well directed, and they transport you into another world. Especially the song "chanda re" it is beautifully choreographed. You will definitely be humming to the movies tune long after you have watched it.
I had seen this film in my UG second year. I simply loved, loves the film. Kajoland all other portraits to feel of the movie. It implicitly tells the life romantic scenes, especially in the song VENNILAVE VENNILAVE. tells Love differ from money. The friendly character of Prabhu Deva makes chemistry with love hated, especially marriage hated but cheerful Kajol. Arvindsamy character exploits very well with his professional look. Like the crown to all A.R.rahman's mind throbbing music which wins heart
Believe me, I have watched this more then dozen times.

This movie, my all time favorite... The very soul of the movie is, Music... A.R.Rahman have done his very best in producing music such as Vennilave Vennilave... Strawberry Kannae song, has been my all time favorite... Choreography is definitely something one will cherish for... Such a colorful movie and not the usual flicks in tamil cinema that were present around the same timeline! I have seen once in theater, I have seen tens on TV's and I have seen it hundreds on my computer, and i will watch it for thousands! Why? it's not just a movie for me, its the timeline, that I can very much relate and re-stroke my precious childhood memories!
actually you've got it wrong this film was first made in Tamil as Minsara Kanavu but due to its success it was dubbed in Telugu as Merupu Kalalu and Hindi Sapnay so thats why its the same as Sapnay , Sapnay is a dubbed version of Minsara Kanavu. The film was a Major success and the music won the music composer A.R Rahman Best Music Director award for the second time after the hit Roja,also Prabhu Deva won the Silver Lotus Award for Best Choreography . this film is a classic by any account and definitely worth a watch ...the music is heavenly and the acting by Kajol ,Arivind Samy and Prabhu Deva is filled with chemistry and connection ....a must see
I did watch this movie on DD/Podhigai channel on TV at midnight fully for the first time and I should really say that it still isn't that bad and was interesting enough and really got a bit of nostalgia. There are just very few movies like this that shows the initial stage of the development of love between couples and this is one of those gems that shows off the real facts, the music just elevates the whole film to a different level and watching it after listening to those songs for thousand times elevates it to a very different level.
I think this is the first movie where GVM was seen on screen, shot when he was an assistant for Rajeev Menon.
Still relevant, even after 20+ years, just fantastic.
