Add to a movie listWaqt (Hindi: वक़्त, Urdu: وقت, English: Time) is a 2005 Indian Hindi drama film directed by Vipul Shah starring Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan and Shefali Shah in lead roles.
Waqt is loaded with family drama and comedy. It has its comic element in the form of the bumbling servant Laxman, who misunderstands the most simple requests made of him in a style reminiscent of certain Shakespearian comic relief characters. The drama comes from the conflict between the father Ishwarchand and son Aditya. More comes from knowing critical facts that other characters don't know which would completely change their perspectives.
Priyanka Chopra electrocuted herself during the song "Do Me A Favour Let's Play Holi". She spent a day in hospital.
