Review:
Glory.  The jokes, the frocks, the elephant at the end, the musical numbers, the energy... everyone acts their little socks off, the story transfers to Amritsar like a dream, and Aishwarya Rai's beauty is incandescent.  This is a Must See film.  We've already learned all the words and the whole dance routine of the "No Life without Wife" dance number...
