Holy Moly what a ride, If you love classic over the top absolutely ridiculous Bollywood, this movie is for you! the Dramatic, hilarious, over the top, vibrant, unexpected, insanity of this movie makes the seemingly long 3 hour run time vanish quickly, you won't regret it.While absolutely hilarious most of the time, occasionally gets serious in some very well done parts of the movie. despite it being a comedy movie first and foremost, the serious parts won't at all feel out of place. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie, it starts out a little slow but wow it's great!
... View MoreAt first the movie is too long. Film is nearly 180 minute long. Character design is too simple but it makes people like them. Story is predictable and so much caricatured.But it is Bollywood and we like it for this. At the end "Manwe Laage" is awesome song,you should listen it.
... View MoreI went to the cinema to watch this film with our family friend, hoping it to be a good film as Om Shanti Om (also directed by Farah Khan), but the film turned out be heavily flawed. The same story that is common in Bollywood is repeated, so don't expect any new thing in this film.All the songs are bad and forgettable except for 'Lovely'. The lyrics are senseless.But why I gave this film 5 out of 10 stars is mostly because of its entertainment value in the first half and its technical brilliance. The film manages to entertain you for the first half but with old sense of humor. So it can be kept as a third option if you don't have any other movie. The cinematography was splendid and colorful as most of the films nowadays have dull and dark approach. Moreover, the editing was also one of the finest I have seen. Many sequences were quite good and smooth rather than highly flawed shaky, blink and miss shots.What also saves the film from being a total disaster is its use of characters. Each and every main character has an equal and significant role throughout the film which makes them a bit memorable.So overall, it is an only average film and that too because of the bad story and script. The story is the main component of the film and if the story is senseless, then all other aspects of the film are wasted, and this very film is a good example of it.Farah Khan wasted her money on this project and she could have made a movie 100 times better than this one.
... View MoreThis film is just awful... awful. What has happened to Bollywood? I struggled through just over 30 minutes of this. After which I just had to switch it off. What was so bad you're wondering?The movie starts with an unrealistic firework display (Bollywood CGI at work), followed by an even more unrealistic fight scene where SRK was paid to take a dive but 'lost control' when the opposing fighter called his dad a thief. This is followed by Jackie Sheroff with the most unconvincing accent giving a press statement. Apparently this press statement is the right time for SRK to start building his team and putting his 'plan' in to motion. His team is a deaf guy who loves showing off his six pack and gets 'upset' when anyone says anything about his mother; a computer hacker who can't make it with the ladies and an old guy who has ladies falling over themselves but lives with his mum.Boman Irani's comedy... if it can be called comedy... is cringe- worthy. I mean its really bad. And not forgetting the worst performance by far was Abhishek Buchchan. Let's just say the apple has fallen very far from the tree. I don't know if Deepika was any good because I didn't get that far in. I have to ask what was Shahrukh Khan thinking? What I find even more unbelievable is that this nonsense is the most expensive Bollywood movie to be made? If IMDb would allow I would give this a minus rating. Save your money and your time and watch Mohabbatein or Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham again. Trust me you'll have more fun.
