Genre: Comedy, Crime, Musical, Romance


If this movie is on your list, i strongly recommend get a fun company and do leave any bit of your brain back home, in order to enjoy it!
You may either end up with a headache or have a light hearted- fun time watching it :) Choice is yours!



You may look forward to:

• Deepika Padukone, she was as if the face of the movie. With the already hit number 'Lovely' which also happens to be the only hit number in the so called musical film, she definitely catches all your attention. She has equally important role and looks absolutely ravishing throughout
• Abhishek Bachchan was hilarious, he played his idiot best :D He was all the time in focus and more like a second fiddle to SRK
• The movie manages to make you laugh, you do not realize that you have been sitting there for 3 continuous hours. I give it to Farah Khan
• Sonu Sood was a good support, enjoyed his abs more than SRK's ;)
• Jackie Shroff made a decent villain, he didn't have much villainous to do other than some delivering of dialogues, yet, he was a decent watch
• There were certain tactics which looked good, such as the escape plan out of the metal locker
• They didn't show much of Dubai, but they certainly did an out and out marketing of Hotel Atlantis. Like any other SRK movie, i have to agree, it was a grand show, and beautiful on big screens

What you can sleep over:

• Shah Rukh Khan tried his best, be it building his abs, or trying his best to deliver action scenes, cant say to what extent will people like him! He looks old, worn out and no powerful impact
• Vivaan Shah was okayish support, just in the name of a hacker, you simply need not know how much of what is he actually doing :D
• The romantic angle between the lead pair felt very one sided and a little too foggy, nothing much to enjoy

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• Boman Irani was absolutely wasted, i fail to understand, why does he need to do movies like this, he is a much serious actor, and he cant do filthy comedy like this
• This movie clearly lacks originality big time, right from the storyline to dialogues. Everything reminds you of several movies, looks like its the new age of recycling :)
• The first half, ohhh boy!! Was damn kiddish, i was wondering if this movie was built to please SRK's new born son and thereby all the kids of the country! Making no sense what so ever, many action scenes were plain stupid
• The movie lacks a punch, you wouldn't dare to watch it the second time
• All the entry scenes of the actors were so damn idiotic. Its beyond kiddish, its just bull shit! Except for Deepika's entry, i didn't enjoy any other
• Again, except for Deepika's "Lovely", rest of the songs beyond pathetic, ones you just cant stand. Its big let down for a movie which is termed musical in the backdrop of dance competition etc

My Rating: 2.5/5
