Review

The story is bit complicated, actually it’s been ripped from the English movie, Mickey Blue Eyes. Rajiv (Akshay Kumar) falls in love with Sanjana (Katrina Kaif), sister of the gangster Uday Shetty (Nana Patekar). But Rajiv’s uncle Dr. Ghungru (Paresh Rawal) wants Rajiv to get married in a family who is far away from the criminal background. What will Rajiv and Sanjana do now? Rest is to watch..

The movie was kind of mix of comedy and boring stuff. There were many hilarious scenes but many unnecessary scenes (e.g. april fool sponsored thingy in first half). The first half of the movie looked like it had been shot ages back and I was still waiting for love story between Rajiv and Sanjana to start but it didn’t take off even after their engagement, no chemistry between them at all. 2ndly no bond between Sanjana and Uday Shetty, though Uday was running around in first half to find a groom for her sister but not even a single scene had shown brother and sister together. It was more like every actor had their parts to act, they did shot them in various portions, sang few songs together, editor (or whoever is the technical person) clubbed them all together and made the movie.
The 2nd half was equally bad, stuffed with unnecessary scenes and really bad songs. Music was simply super. We were waiting for the songs to get The ending death scene was hilarious but instead of ending the movie right there, the director decided to stretch it and end the movie in a super boring manner.

But but but, the movie had good parts too, actually, the comedy was at its best. Even though many of the scenes were totally illogical but they were just way too funny. Some of the best scenes of the movie would be, the death scene in the end, the car scene in the first half etc..
Okay, to sum the things up, on the acting front, Akshay was OK, nothing great or different. Paresh Rawal was good like always. Nana Patekar was superb, Anil Kapoor was great too. (Don’t miss his painting scenes), Katrina was more like a doll with very low scope for the acting. Firoz Khan did not impress me much. Mallika Sherawat was surprisingly good. Other side kicks were ok.

So overall, The movie stands good chances on the box office as it is Akshay Kumar starrer (just like SRK, he can carry any bad movie on his shoulders and change the scenario). We have seen that in in Hey Baby.

However, To get some fun with family in holiday season, It is a better movie to watch.
