First of all, i am not a huge movie buff. I only watch Bollywood movies after reading a lot of reviews, and recommendations by friends because usually they are a waste of time. Coming back to the movie, it was fun 2 hours. The movie had its moments, funny, romantic and especially the Indo-Pak element was also appreciable. The story is of a guy Siddharth (John Abraham) who somehow volunteers for a student run organization 'Dost India' who reconcile the people trying to attempt suicide, over phone. One day he gets a call from a girl Mishka, who is about to commit suicide. He reconciles him over the phone throughout the night. After that they start talking more often and Sid wins her trust gradually. In some humorous turn of events, Sid gets to meet Sara and tries to befriend her. He convinces Mishka over the phone to befriend Sid. Mishka doesn't know that the guy over phone and Sid is the same. Friends of Sid, Omar, Aliya, Ankur etc were fun to watch. Overall a good entertainer.
... View MoreTechnically the movie is very good, especially the screenplay is very good and the performance of Jhon, Pakhi & Raghu is nice as well. Due to this two reason I like this movie. The idea of this romantic story is a new experiment in Hindi movie, which is not acceptable by a big majority of people also the music was not so effective its unbelievable that AR Rahman has given such music.The comedy and romantic scenes were nice and people enjoyed it, the co-stars has done their job well and comedy timings was good.Pakhi as and actress was very good at her role and she looked so fresh, John was good as well in his comic and romantic role. The film didn't run well on box-office due to the new concept of romance and the frequent use of English in the dialogs. I observed that the best part people couldn't enjoyed due to the language problem. Perhaps next time this should be taken care..
... View MoreDefinitely worth the watch....i was reluctant to watch it since some of the reviews were quite bad, but the Mrs is a big John fan, so had to watch it and I actually didn't at any time get distracted and felt the need to play on my iPhone or anything. It is certainly much better than some of the asinine movies coming out of Bollywood ( here looking at you Akshay Kumar who makes way too many movies and whose last few movies were barely watchable,oh god , Khatha Metha made me feel like killing myself for wasting 2 hrs of my life!).John does a good job ( much better than I would have expected and the director has been smart by having a good ensemble built up around him of actors who complement him and keep the momentum going. Only negative is that the script could have probably done with a little more tweaking, but nevertheless a good effort and something different from Bollywood. Would definitely recommend this....
... View MoreWell Well Well...Abbas Tyrewala scores again , not a hard as the previous one (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) but certainly no less , the movie is what you'll call a light hearted sweet, cute , emotional romantic comedy the moves around a Helpline in London "Dost India" which works for the people of India settled in London who are in a state of frustration and are about to do something wrong with there life..mistakenly the "Dost India" Corp prints out Sidharth (John Abraham's) number as there helpline no. it is when Sid agrees to take the calls of those people in dire need to b motivated that he comes across Mishka (Pakhi) and helps her out the same way..both of them get close and "Sid" falls in love with her..but he has hidden his identity of being the guy on the phone and being the one in real life "Will Sid get his love in spite of the millions of "Jhooth" he has already said ? tats what the story is about..Talking about the performances everyone right from John to Pakhi , from Raghu to Anitha Nair..everyone is brilliant.. R. Madhavan n Nandita Sen are cool in there cameo's would have rated it a bit more if "A.R Rehman's" music would have been more catchy all u remember is "Cry Cry" when u come out of the TheatersMust Watch :)
