you have to credit it to yashraj...
no matter how their film turns up in the final product, they know the marketing strategy to grab hold of ones attention and make them shell those extra money to get an advance booking in a multiplex..
but as in with last year's FANAA, i was in the end disgusted on being so gullibe in this 21st century..
the movie cicked off really gud, with occational speed-breakers, with the dream launch as a race care driver from a small time guy, fro whoom the nation is almost crazy..
the love story is good too though i sincerely felt that the songs could have been much much better, especialy being a yashraj product(there it goes again!). and not to mentiion Rani's wacky hair-styles. plzz give me a break. i was hardly over so dressing sense in Baabul.
The race car sequences are beatifully shot, thanx to brilliant production values by Yashraj (again!). Saif and Rani are both likeable in their moulds and so the story as it moves into family side with the two most adorable kids(again!) who do know how to act.
But then the problem starts. The accident followed by more failures in race, due to some fear of another accident (what///???) and eventually reducing them to sell their big bunglow (i didnt knew they had them in the newyork city, arn't they on the outskirts??).
Its still passable till here. But the real panic button is pressed with ma and pa telling bachcha party that they are part of some reality show where they have to live like raggers. Give us a break.
--The nation hert-throb being getting unnoticed every single time when he drives a taxi for living,
--The ma who is so beautiful (as all the famous people said) is givin piano lessons for living,
--The son picking food from dustbins (takin it as part of rality show, he want pa to win the prize) to fill his stomach.
--And above all, the family is poor, they dont have money for 2 meals a day and are living in a very poor household (well tht what they want us to belive with all those fully decked up furniture, expensive woodwork, amazingly lit roms)-- they all wear designer clothes nevertheless.
Did i ever mention its a yashraj product
What I liked about the movie:

What I didn't like about the movie:
