Strange mix in a movie. The acting of tabh bachan and sharmila was very good and the first half of the movie was a lot of fun (though substanceless). The story wasn't moving forward but was very humorous and the character development was nice. The concept of John Ab telling the movie was fresh. Interesting to see him doing the voice over instead of Ab, even though AB was in the movie.

I couldn't see the second part of the movie coming. After spending so much time making the movie funny and getting the audience happy and laughing why would the director suddenly make the movie such a big tear jerker :P! His choice i guess. Abruptly without any warning the movie turned 180 degree into a sad fest :(!
Poor Sanjay Dutt got the short end in this movie - no character development or anything just a bit part role. How did he accept this role ? Also he looks very old now.
Good Points:
1. Only 2 hours long 2. No songs throwing the movie off track 3. Great acting by AB and sharmila 4. John A looks better after each movie - making of a superstar. His voice is awesome too.
Could not stand the blatant product placements though - there is one thing of showing a name brand but the actors were shown singing praises of reebok sweats, Elf motor oil, western union money transfer. Was shown in a cheap and crass way. Maybe the producers were not sure it will make money and thought they will recover money by putting adverts in the movie.
All in all the movie is not a bad one and can be seen once.
