Director - Abbas Tyrewala.
Rating - **1/2
Review - Meet Jai Singh Rathore - 'Rats' (Imran Khan), the most non-violent Rajput either side of the Aravallis. And meet, if you dare, the violent and passionate Aditi Mahant - 'Meow' (Genelia D'Souza). Whatever you do, do not pick a fight with her. She scratches. And abuses. If you do get into a scrap, take cover till Jai arrives, as he alone can calm our snarling wildcat. Jai thinks Aditi's parents should have rinsed her mouth with soap when she was a child. Aditi thinks that Jai is the biggest coward she has ever encountered. Heaven has mixed up its apples and oranges. Rotlu weeps secretly for Aditi. Bombs' heart explodes for Jai. Jiggy applies golden mascara to his hair. Shaleen, well, she's probably the only one who doesn't seem a few notes short of a concerto. Jai and Aditi are perfect for each other (in some odd, distorted way, impossible to understand). Friends know this. Parents know this. Everybody knows this. But they both themselves does not knows that. Okay, this is an Aamir Khan productions' movie! A bit hard to digest. We have seen loads of such flicks (even better) in Southern cinema & this one is just new to Bollywood. That is the only reason, this movie is a mega blockbuster. Imran Khan, is a very talented & seems confident from the first movie itself. He has a good career ahead. Genelia, she has already done loads of such stuffs in Telugu & Tamil Movies, so it was not hard for her to act in the movie. She acts well, & looks stunningly beautiful. Manjari Fadnis looked gorgeous too. There are other new-comers too. But only Alishka Varde manages to perform well, she looks cute & beautiful as well. Rest are just okay. Also there are other well known actors such as Paresh Rawal, Sohail Khan, Arbaz Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Rajat Kapoor. The background music is nothing good this time, though the songs are pleasant to hear. "Kabhi Kabhi" & "Pappu Can't Dance" are the best tracks. Abbas Tyrewalla's directorial debut, his direction is nothing extra-ordinary at all, infact, it lacks good laughable moments. Just an average flick on the whole, just watch it for Imran, Genelia & Alishka.
