Star Performances
Akshay Kumar gives his all to be funny in this painfully illogical drama. My heart goes out to this tireless performer. Katrina Kaif does the bimbo act annoyingly perfect, although nothing much has to be done by her, except for looking skimpy. Akshaye Khanna does the Oscar aspirant, by over-enthusiastically indulging in the heist. Every character overacts in the movie so much that after some time, it feels like a remodeled daily soap.
Analysis
The storyline has a good scope for comedy. But thanks to the lousy writing, all of it seems so forced. As the film progresses, you wonder where the logic is. Even if it is a satire on our country’s system of passing wealth to gangsters, the same thugs making a joke out of it doesn’t make sense at all. Farah Khan’s direction disappoints immensely. It’s noteworthy only in places. But the choreographer in her, does a commendable job, especially in ‘Sheila in Jawani’. You just wish the movie was as colorful and entertaining. The music is good and such a sigh of relief amidst these ‘no-brainer’ chaos.Â
What’s there?
1. Akshay Kumar
2. Farah Khan’s Choreography
3. Vishal - Shekhar’s Music
What's not there?
1. Â Â Solid script
2. Â Â Good writing
3. Â Â Logic
Verdict
Watch it for not-so-brainy plot topped with excess Masala, Katrina Kaif’s Sheila Ki Jawani and expertly picturised end-titles song (Farah does this best!).
