A movie unique in its essence !! (may contain spoilers)

I expected this movie not to be as big as "Saawariya" but when I saw it, I was totally dumbstruck as to its storyline. Newcomer Deepika showed that she is bollywood material and Mr Abs.Shahrukh showed why he is Bollywoods most versatile actor being able to play multitudes of roles. A dance sequence in this movie has nearly 30 Top bollywood actors past and present showing up and dancing alongside SRK. The movie starts on like the 70's type of movies but with its simplicity and touch of class by King Khan, for a moment you will feel like you are in the 70's disco era ..Some graphics and editing was near semi-perfect for a Hollywood movie and this movie does make fun of the yesteryear's dance and fight sequence. Kiron Kher's acting was just amazing and she has yet again proved her stage-acting days did do her good...Shreyas talpade proved that he can take unique roles like he did in "Iqbaal" and "Dor" and was one of the outstanding actors in the movie..There is a lot of hilarity in the movie, as you would expect in any Farah Khan movie and minor performances by 'Akshay Kumar' and 'Abhishek Bahchcan' are hilarious..not to mention the baddie of the movie did do himself good by signing up for this movie. Shahrukh's second movie of the year and also undoubtedly the second biggest hit as well (after Chak-De)..The film is just over 3 hours long but is worth watching every minute..Its a great Family Movie and deserves to be in contention of the Best Movie of the Year, Deepika has a really Bright future since her performance was exceptional and directors have already started knocking at her door..Believe me this movie is really that good and if you go to see this movie in the theaters, you wont be disappointed..One of the best bollywood movies I have seen by far !!!
