First Of All I Would Like To Say This Is My First Review After OSO as It Was The Last Bollywood Movie Ive Seen In Theaters. I Knew From Its Trailers, Promos And From Reviews That it Would Be Crap But Still I Went To Orlando To Watch It With Some Friends, Why? ... Cause I Was Bored n I Wanted To C My 1st Akshay Movie In Theater.
Before U Ask The Theater Was 50% Full.
I Think That This Film Is Not What You Expect, its Not Full On Action With Proper Stunts... its a Mixture Of Romance, Comedy, Action So an Attempt To Make a Solid Entertainer ... is it?
Lets Find Out
STORY : It Was Pretty Weird And Is Hard To Explain. But Still I Would Try To. The Story Revolves Around Bhaiyaji [ANIL], Bachchan [AKSHAY], Pooja [KAREENA] And Jimmy [SAIF]. Bhaiyaji Wants To Learn English and He Appoints Pooja To Get an English Teacher and She Gets Jimmy For That Task. Pooja Then Fools Jimmy To Steal Money From Bhaiyaji For Herself and Succeeds in That. Then Jimmy Gets Beaten Up By Bhaiyaji as He Thinks That Jimmy Having The Money. Then He Appoints Bachchan to Find Pooja and Get The Money. And so The Main Movie Starts and Bachchan and Jimmy Sets For a Roller Coaster Journey To Get The Money Form Pooja.
PERFORMANCES :
1. ANIL - It Was Really Excellent, Funny But Drags Towards The End. No one Else Could Have Played This Role -3.75/5
2. SAIF - He was OK. But Was Relegated to Backseat in The Whole Movie and i Just Want to Laugh at Those People who Said he Would Have the Main Role in The Movie -2.5/5
3. KAREENA - She Looked Beautiful in The Movie and Her Bikini Scene was WOW. But her Acting Was not That Good and She sometimes Irritated me, Anyway, Better Than AshWhore In D2 -3/5
4. AKSHAY - Well as You Might have Guessed He's The Show Stealer, He was Very good, Entertaining and Did Good Comedy. He was Very Good in Action scenes But The Action Was Itself Stupid -4/5
FLAWS :
1. Basically the biggest flaw is the weird story.When you Watch the movie you feel that the director was just direting the movie without any story and then it was edited.
2. Its another flaw is its Length. The movie is not big by any Sorts but the 2.45 hours movie Could have been easily been trimmed to 2.15 hours by cutting the four uselessly long songs,the unneeded love Story and also the Childhood scenes of Akshay and Kareena.
3. Another thing which was bad was action scenes.I mean it was Really stupid to see Akshay Flying like Krissh here and There. Also,first from police and then from the Anil's gang how could Akshay and Saif survive without getting hit by a Bullet and also once all the goons were having Machine guns and then when they were coming to fight Akshay,Saif and Kareena they Were carrying swords and Knifs. I mean audience are not jokers and it was really stupid to see the action.Also when the house was blown by Anil how could the Three came form the house in and open care totally fine.
4. Another bad thing Were the songs.There were five song and one Was in the background and in the Credits i.e. TASHAN MEIN and it was Excellent.But all other four Song were really very bad and simply useless and some People went out of the Hall when thew songs came. (Falak Tak Was Good Too)
PLUS POINTS :
The plus points were not that much.
1. The Performances Of ANIL and AKSHAY Saved The Movie. Whenever They Were in The Scene Then You Could Enjoy The Movie. But When they Both Were in One Scene Then AKASHAY Looked Lame in Front of ANIL.
2. The Movie Was not Boring and You Could add That to its Plus Point. It Was a Pass Time!
May I Add The Bikini Scene ?
Hmmm .... Cant Remeber More
RATING :
2.5/5
What I liked about the movie:
AKKI's n ANIL's Performance, Kareena Ina Bikini, Its a Pass Time
What I didn't like about the movie:
Music, Lengh, Action Scenes .....
