A technically imperfect movie with lovely story telling but victim of bad promotion....
25 October 2006
This is a movie which was not at all as I expected, so not up to expectations. But the expectations were so low and poor that it has crossed all expectations and has presented itself as a very enjoyable movie. The best thing about the movie is it is a very positive story told beautifully.

Undoubtedly it is not a 'very' different story but of course the same story has been told differently and surprisingly in a very interesting manner. It is good romantic comedy as compared to the emotional drama as presented by its trailer (and its very difficult to understand why Shirish tried to present it in that way through its trailer and promotions!). The worst thing with this movie is its really poor and insensible promotion.

Movie also suffers with some technical imperfections like average cinematography and screenplay (its not bad at all, but could have been far more better with such a good cast, technology and budget!). One of the worst scene of the movie, which has also been used in promotion where Preity is dancing with Salman and Akshay alternatively and camera is taking rounds around them. The transition from Salman to Akshay and further is very inappropriate and does not looks beautiful (at least now a days it could have been very smooth without cutting the scenes and presenting other actor in next shot!). The same scene being used in promotion as well created very bad impression, it can and should still be improved. Even the whole promotion campaign should be revamped.

However movie still is very good and has an amazing feel good effect (with its climax as well!) which makes it worth watch. Good work Shirish, keep it up!!!
