A good creation is not just about great thought, but also capable execution. And execution is where DOTW falls short. There's no covering up of poor acting - which is what most of the support cast does. Kitu herself is quite limited, yet convincing. But her dilemma, her tribulations do not touch you the way they could have. A good contrast would be when compared to another film of same era about a musician - 'Saaz' with the thespian Shabana Azmi, DOTW doesn't immerse you in it.
Don't get me wrong. I am a music lover. And if I had to rate the soundtrack I'd rate it 9/10. In fact I heard the entire soundtrack before I saw the movie. I had read the gist of the movie and frankly the movie didn't like upto my imagination when I heard the soundtrack.
