The movie is far too long, and with no real legs (plot) to stand on, it straddles your mind like a colossal headache. There should be a law to bar Genelia from 'acting'. The film is riddled with clichéd situations and the plot itself meanders from one dead end to another. Songs are passable at the best, irritating most of the times. Characters played by Rajpal Yadav, Shobana and Naseerudin are an insult to these talented actors.Dialogues are not as bad as the rest of the movie. In fact, at times they carry the movie forward. Akshay does a decent enough job, mainly due to his histrionic skills and direction from Priyadarshan. Only saving grace is Paresh Rawal. As the elderly dad and then as the 'young' lad, he brings out his range of skills.Is (was) this the death of Priyadarshan's comedy?

There was a time post HERA PHERI(2000) when Priyan's name itself brought huge of audiences and the films worked Be it HUNGAMA, HULCHUL, GARAM MASALA, MALAAMAL WEEKLY though most were copies of south films yet there worked at the BO But off late his comedies are become dull with mostly the same jokes, same actors cast He has the same cast too he repeats This film is also a remake and has a thin story and the handling is so boringThe film leaves you bored with the loud gags which mostly fall flat and the drama which gets to the nervesDirection is ordinary Music is okayAmongst actors Akshaye with a bad wig frowns and screams tirelessly and is decent towards the end Paresh is getting repetitive now and Om Puri though has some moments is miscast Genelia's release just before JTYJN and she wasn't that good here Naseeruddin Shah is okay in a brief role, Shobana is okay Rajpal is wasted, Archana Puran Singh is loud

It was the turn of the millennium, a well known director/producer from the south teamed up with a solid team of amateurs as well as some well established names and gave us perhaps one of the GREATEST QUIESSENTIALLY Indian COMEDY THIS SIDE OF THE 80S.And he never looked up again.The downhill journey started with the golden team of Neeraj Vora and Priyadarshan who raped one English movie after the other and claimed it to be their. AND THE CLUELESS Indian AUDIENCE WATCHED AND LAUGHED, AND ONCE AGAIN AFTER NEARLY 5 YEARS PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING AT THE GOVINDA BRAND OF HUMOUR.Which was exactly a bad thing, i loved the a few of the original Govinda comedies (favourite being Deewane Mastane), and if had seen too many good English movies THAN I CAN TAKE A HIKE.But sooner than later the audience woke up to the loosely edited copy-paste jobs and the popularity of his movie began to wane.And yet people continued to be fooled and were drawn to the cinemas by stellar cast especially Akshay Kumar.But then he did the unthinkable, he dropped Akshay Kumar and that resulted in the culmination of all his past mistakes THIS.The movie has nothing going for it.The acting is merely OK with stellar performers like Paresh Rawal and Om Puri finally loosing out to a weak script, Akshay Kumar was merely good at his best and you can only imagine was a weak movie like this will do, GENELIA LOOKED SPARKLING BUT HER ACTING TALENT IS NOT QUITE UPTO THE MARK, the chemistry was non-existent between almost everybody, THE SPARK WAS MISSING COMPLETELY FROM THE FATHER SON DUO WHICH WAS MOST IMPORTANT.The music is quite bad and adds nothing to the movie, the to add insult to injury the songs are misplaced.Even though the concept had potential the script is weaker than most slapsticks, THE ENTIRE MATURE LOVE STORY WAS AS BAD AS HAVING UNDERCOOKED SEAFOOD (which i don't eat since I'm vegetarian).And then there is the humour itself which was humorous for all of 10 mins in the first half and 15 mins in the entire movies,LETS NOT MENTION THE PRESENCE OF RAJPAL YADAV (i just did hehe).AN In-depth ANALYSIS OF THE MOVIES SHORTCOMINGS WILL CLEARLY RUN INTO PAGES SO LETS GET THE TO GOOD PARTS AND THE CONCLUSION.Genelia looks fresh and enticing, even looks sexy in a few scenes, acting could improve though.Om Puri is actually funny in most scenes.Some scenes promise and almost deliver.Conclusion A MOVIE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DECENT DRAMA IF THERE WAS REALLY ANY. Definitely not a comedy, avoid unless your a super Genelia fan (ARE there are any?).-s no drama, no comedy, ordinary acting, bad songs, wasted potential.+/-s had potential??!!!.+s Genelia Dsouza, Om Puri, 15 mins of fun.total 4/10 (only because i expected very less, fell even below my low expectations, REALLY I HOPE THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR PRIYADARSHAN WHO HAD ONCE PROMISED US THE WORLD).

Priyadrashan + Paresh Rawal + Akshay Khanna..........u expect a gr8 time pass and some really funny lines as in the past movies like Hulchul, Hungama etc. But this time Priyan really fails to give a full time pass movie. Although there are some really funny moments (Om Puri as always at best), but those few moments does not make a watchable flick. Story is a typical boolywood masala one so i don't think , i need to write anything on that. About acting part, Akshay is dependable, Paresh goes overhead, Rajpal Yadav is a complete waste, Genzil D'silva, i was not expecting much from her so OK, Om Puri is best.
