I always like Abbas-Mustan films like KHILADI, BAAZIGAR Off late their films are being bad like AITRAAZ, TAARZAN, 36 CHINA TOWN NAQAAB a remake of DOT THE 1Sadly this film is a complete joke of a filmFirst half is typical Hindi love triangle with everything looking fake Be it Bobby- Urvashi love story or Akshaye- Urvashi or even the too much cuts- edit and everything actuallythe kiss after The EK DIN song and all the hot scenes are badly handledFew comic scenes are fine here and there but then the film does a 360 turn and becomes even worse in the last few reelsThe entire turn of events make the illogical film a farce Imagine you are laughing at the film being typical Hindi stuff first and then when it tries to be bold it makes you cringeThe sets, wardrobe design all seem too cheapAbbas-Mustan gives one of their worst films ever Music is saving grace, EK DIN is good Cinematography is goodBobby looks bored in first half and manages some scenes towards the end well Akshaye Khanna with a bad wardrobe is wasted though he manages to leave a mark as always but now his role, style is getting predictableUrvashi reminds you of Udita Goswami and Rakhi Sawant which isn't a good thing, her voice is awfully dubbed tooVikas Kalantri and Vishal Malhotra tax your nerves

Karan Oberoi, every girl dreams of a guy like him, handsome, very understanding and rich. Mr. Rohit, mysterious guy who has something to do with Sophia which brings us to the beautiful Ms. Sophia D' Costa who is the heroine/villain of this story and of course Mr. Vicky Malhotra our hero/villain who is an actor who wants to fulfill his dead father's dreams. I liked this movie because it is original, not another boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, enter new boy, girl falls in love with new boy, old boy exits stage left gracefully . . . Instead the plot gradually thickens with every new scene and the entrance of each new revelation makes the viewer actually use their minds instead of wanting to just get the movie over with. We are also left with so many choices of people to crucify for Rohit Shroff's murder, The abusive but unlikely Rakesh, Ronnie and Siddarth who wanted credit for the successful movie and Sophia and Vicky, lovers torn apart by Rohit's love of money, all with a reason for revenge.

--- Yaar! There May Be Spoilers Below - You'll Have To Decide ---It *is* a bit predictable and it's hardly "amazing" as SpringSummerWinter claims. It's a well done yarn and has a good measure of twists and turns but again, I think you'll see them as predictable ones. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the movie: I most certainly did.With regard to acting... No one here is an A-List actor on a global level. Akshaye Khanna is the same character in every movie - it's like watching Dustin Hoffman - one acting model slightly dressed up differently for each film. While he does a credible job here - he's still the same tortured and tormented character that he always is and lifeless and stiff as such. Urvashi Sharma is gorgeous, and doesn't suck her first time out - but clearly she needs seasoning and I applaud her for taking the risk of doing the closest I've seen to a sex scene in a bollywood film - and in her first movie! YIKES!

Having seen this with no idea what it was about, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a complete song-and-dance-fest..or not. But, I stuck through it all. A couple of minutes of no subtitles in some sections, subtitles of spoken English that didn't match the spoken English and spelling mistakes in the subtitles added to the hilarity. It doesn't try to be a comedy, but is completely unbelievable throughout and features a ridiculous storyline that becomes more hilarious towards the end.If you didn't pay to see the film (I used my unlimited pass, so I can see as many films as I like in a month for one price), then great, it's a passable form of entertainment as long as you don't expect, well, anything at all. Otherwise, unlucky.
