I really wanted to give this a great review, but.... the main nagging point I had with this film was the one line that kept being repeated through out the film," Never underestimate the strength of the common man." I could not believe the number of times they had SRK use it , as I not only lost count. It was nauseaus.

Rahul is a sweet seller and is a man who has not had the pleasures of free time with young women his age or his friends because he is always investing his time helping or hanging out with his grandfather. However, his grandfather dies and he is invited to go out on vacation with his friends to Goa, but his grandmother asks him to pour his grandfather's ashes in a specific sacred river in the south. On Rahul's journey he faces obstacles and a girl Meena who is the daughter of the godfather of the south. Meena runs away for her father (the don) frequently so she does not have marry Tangaballi, who will in return give the Godfather of the south more power over the people. Moreover, we get to see the perspective of marriage in India is different from the united states, instead of having a choice to marry who you want to, some women around the world, such as the ones in India, are forced into marriage to benefit their family and or pay off a debt , or used for their dowry. Tantamount to gold digging for men essentially. However, after Meena and Rahul fall in love at the end of the movie, Rahul presents some inspirational words to Meena's father and to the audience.Rahul states the injustice the godfather of the south has committed to his daughter and how he is not a man worthy of calling her his daughter because of the way he treats her and he adds in the fact that it is the 60th anniversary for women's independence in the country (women's rights). Then at the very end of the movie, Rahul states that there are over 1,600 languages in India, but love has no language.In America money, languages, political, religious, environmental, and cultural behaviors can deter people from even thinking marrying a person or ever speaking to them. However, Rahul is telling Meena that he loves her for who she is and nothing could ever be a barrier in his relationship with meena. Ultimately, we see unconditional love in this film. In America, people are afraid to step up to the rich, famous, or public figures however we see in this film that Rahul's love for Meena does not let her father get in the way of him trying to marry her. Consequently, he steps up to the godfather and sticks up for meena in his own language and also does not care about his status in the south. Thereafter, we see that a little voice can go a long way.

No story, Rare audience connect and irrelevant scenes; yet this film was a blockbuster. This could raise questions on the mindset of Indian audiences. Was it SRK's huge fan following, or dearth of a comedy movie, or collaboration of SRK with Rohit Shetty and Deepika Padukone that pulled the audience to theatres in such a large number. I think it was the goofy and highly energetic act By Shahrukh Khan that was worth a watch. Watch it only for SRK.
