It could have been worse. Better than Food fight. It is like a Yash Raj films parody. Having said that here are its downfalls. Laila is 1 dimensional. All that crying over her by Charlie was painful to watch and unnecessary. The plot was not great. The hi-jinx in the movie is totally like cheap comedy from 1930s animation. The dialogue falls flat at many places. Some good word play and comedy in Hindi to English translations was enjoyable. Only one song was decent. So overall not good not bad but somewhere in between with lots of mistakes to learn from to make a better movie later on.

In a world where Pixar sets the gold standard in animated films, Yash Raj Film's Roadside Romeo (incidentally Dinsey's foray into Bollywood as well) will find it hard to even pass the QC test. Both the animation and the story leave a lot to be desired and the only positive outlook for the movie is that being the only major release this Diwali and potentially a hit with the kids, it should barely manage to trudge along. The story of a dog, Romeo (voiced by Saif Ali Khan) who was living the lavish life and suddenly finds himself on the mean streets of the city is clichéd to a fault. Romeo falls for Laila (Kareena Kapoor) who also happens to be the crush of bad dog Charlie Anna (Javed Jaffrey) and predictable mayhem follows. Jugal Hansraj's direction relies too much on borrowing from Bollywood lore (Yash Raj film scenes and dialogs are copied galore) and too little on character study. It is an earnest effort perhaps but if anyone thought animation didn't need a story, they should ask the studio that made the animation movie event of the year, Wall•E. The film hardly has any genuinely funny moments, and the background sets, though well detailed, lack punch. The redeemer is eventually Javed Jaffrey, who is the only one who seems to know how to voice an animation character. He brings out the quirks of Charlie Anna superbly to life and provides the few laughs there are in the film. The tepid songs and a basic background score do nothing to add to the appeal. Ultimately, the gag reel during the end credits turns out to be funnier than the movie itself. And that's saying a lot.

Disney goes Bollywood! This is a light-hearted funny movie with top notch animation sequences. The script is fantastic.. ideas innovative. . music n sound effects are fluent.. altogether the film is very entertaining and enjoyable.I saw some people at theater stepping back as they realized this was a total Kid-Movie..scram..well what's wrong if you become a kid again for less than 2 hours in the darkness of the theater! Besides, it also reminds you of Godfather!Most of the dialogs and comedy are Bollywood-Type that one not so familiar with Hindi movies might not fully understand though. But dogs are universal after all! Go watch this little cute movie with your family.P.S. There is nothing satirical.
