The Review

Why should one have expectations from this, you justifiably ask. Even if you don't, let's just say it epitomises the pathetic standards Bollywood comedy has fallen to, also witnessed in films like Phir Hera Pheri and Pyare Mohan.

Your worst films of the year? Tell us!

In short, it features all the standard, dismal characteristics: The script is stolen from Hollywood, yet remains inexplicably negligible; the cast is painful; the dialogues grate on the nerves; the pacing is bizarre; and the music is as Himesh Reshammiya as it gets -- which means the catchy opening song is bound to be the film's sole, nasal highlight.

This is one template we can do very well without.
