The movie is one hour forty five minutes long but even this seems too long as the movie drags in parts. What saves this movie is the authentic setting, the amazingly realistic characters, and ofcourse the fine acting performance of Preity Zinta.

Videsh is a letdown, despite the recognition it received at international awards. It fails to tug at your heart strings. Videsh certainly caters to a foreign audience who still believe India to be the land of mythology.
