Not a bad watch. I am sure the expectations are already low, and that is the key to its success :)

Pluses:

• Amongst all the serious movies this week, this is one movie which is a pure entertainer and doesnt fail to entertain. Its a complete masala movie, with all cliche stuffs, herogiri, maagiri, heroinegiri, action, songs for every typical situation, dance, item number,tamasha, drama, comedy, conspiracy..all :) It doesnt bore you provided you dont expect sky high
• Shahid Kapoor fits into movies like this, light hearted, cute and apt bollywood type hero
• Illeana was much better than i expected. She tried all too look good and glam, her  fans wont be disappointed, cant say about the entire audience :)
• Padmini Kolhapure, after a long time, susbtantial role, good stuff with all due respect :)
• The obvious choice for a comedy movie are Darshan Jariwala,Sanjay Mishra,Saurabh Shukla and Mukesh Tiwari. A perfect gang :) All of them awesome support. They hardly can ever go wrong in their roles :) Entertainment is all that it means

Lukewarm:

• Item number not very great, Nargis can not dance, period!
• Music is just about ok, thanks to all the promotions. The romantic number however was not bad, by Atif Aslam, the saving grace :)

Minuses:

• Now there sure is one thing that i didnt like, and that is the use of chemical weapon to showcase the terrorist angle. Why do the film makers infest all wrong ideas into the public is beyond my understanding. This one is anyway a light weight movie, doesnt really matter what kinda threat you are trying to show, a gas balloon threat or a fire cracker threat. Why then the use of chemical weapon here!! Every individual from the audience is equally a dangerous person to manifest such ideas. I am dead against these kind of promotions
• Yes, the movie lacks in quality, but not low on substance. Hence, i wont dig into it much! Its a movie for the Bollywood fans and masses

My rating: 3/5
