I think in the end Rana lands up with Richa - is is subtle - it is implied in the song ie when he is touring round the country side- a smiling Richa comes along with his shoes when she notices his blistering feet. Despite using her in the first half which she is angry about (rightfully), he wins her over in the 2nd half Filmbuffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868092601558436352.post-36429786682821607512010-07-22T22:24:29.822-04:002010-07-22T22:24:29.822-04:00filmizest - I think my problem with Leader is I wa...<b>filmizest</b> - I think my problem with Leader is I want to like it more. I was underwhelmed a bit. It was Rana's boring character that really got me.

I always recommend people to watch his movies. <br /><br />Leader - i agree that the girls were wasted. Among the two, Richa had a short glamarous role. Apparently she was Miss India USA 2007. The other girl is a good actress and has a good screen presence - u r right.

And I usually get very bored through movies about politics (I can think of only two exceptions: Iruvar and Raajneeti and I liked those only because the actors made them interesting...)

(It wa appreciated by others so probably just me lol!) It is his debut so I put the blame on SK. Unlike you and many others, I am not that fond of SK's other films either. OTH, I love the two he produced/distributed a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
