Clever. Funny. Just the right length. Those words pretty much sum up this film. It is clever in a couple of ways, firstly in the way that the Absolute Vodka bottle is seen in the background - not in your face, but also discrete enough to be completely missed. Secondly, its clever in the way that it pretty much covers the content of every other Bollywood story in 10 minutes: lots of songs and a centuries old story line (it only misses the final showdown between the hero and the fatherly villain). The comedic value is also pretty good, illustrated through plenty of pelvis thrusts from the beer belly-ed hero and hyperbolic facials from all and sundry. Lastly,seeing as I was shown this in my Marketing Lecture, it was definitely worth the watch.
A new concept for an Indian film, thus kudos to Mr rohan for making such a brave effort. Of all the Indian superhero movies made so far, i would say this was perhaps the least worst. People say it is copied and what not (then again we've all come to expect that of most bollywood films), but the fact is that the movie lacked general direction and purpose, thus a lot of the scenes were a drag. In addition, the plot seemed to be non-existent, and the sub plot was very weak. a movie with very general ideas that requires viewers to turn a blind eye to various plot holes. for example, kirsh and his father, despite a whole generation gap, seemed to be living in the same time period. even though i tried my best to watch the whole movie, it got too mind-numbingly boring thus i had to walk out about two thirds of the way through. and off the 4 people i sat down to watch the movie with, only 1 managed to see the whole thing. i found out from them what happens in the end, and by the sounds of things, i am very glad i walked out and saved myself and hour. Overall, this movie robbed me of two hours of my life which i shall never get back. still 3 very generous points awarded for the effort.
