    Film ho to Aisi

    Mahesh Manjerekar was a top director with VAASTAV and KURUKSHETRA and ASTITVA and slowly he begin doing cheap films

    this is one of his crap films

    The film has a plot which mixes Mr.India and many more but it's handled very cheaply the villains stand out like cartoons of course even in KMG type films they do, but here the comic scenes are too childish

    The film has lot of stupid scenes which are too childish

    forced songs plus some weird comic scenes between Sanju and Shahid and both competition in making weird faces, weird tones

    Mahesh is at ziltch here Music is okay

    VFX is okay

    Sanjay Dutt hams in his role though he is likable in parts Shahid copies SRK in many scenes and hams it badly Amrita Rao annoys

    Cute, but no brass ring

    What a really cute movie. Perfect for a Saturday afternoon with the kids. Not a serious movie, lots of cute comedy. But that's where it ends. If you're looking for a kiddie comedy, fine. But for adult entertainment - it lacks considerably. The plot is far fetched, the characters are not well developed, the special effects are chintzy, and several situations that arise in the beginning of the film are forgotten, left completely unresolved by the end. Pitiful screenplay, but the actors/actresses did okay with what they had. Even with a good cast, it's a bomb. It definitely won't help anyone's career. Watch only if you have a child/grandchild watching it with you. Otherwise you'll feel you've wasted a few hours time.

    Doesn't live up to the hype

    Average music, average acting, not to mention an average script, and lastly, average directing. I was expecting a lot more from Sanjay Dutt, as I love his movies. Sadly, I was disappointed. The only half-decent thing is the plot. Its not a ripoff like many Bollywood movies, and has some originality to it. Note that I said some, not all.

    Shahid Kapur is appalling, he does a horrible job and does not fit into character at all. Amrita Rao does not do anything apart from looking pretty, and I raised my eyebrows with Arshad Warsi's performance. I like him as an actor, he has done great roles, but I don't like this one. The character was very fake.

    To sum it up: VLHTA is mostly a film that we will be enjoyed by kids. There isn't much point in the movie at all, its what I would call "rubbish". Even Sanjay Dutt's incredible presence could not save this movie.

    The rating is too low for this good movie.

    I didn't plan to write a review. I was surprised that the rating is so low. I was going to rate it a 8, but now I am rating it a 9.

    Indian movies are almost always around two hours and 30 minutes. So no matter how good the movie is, it tends to lose its momentum after a while.

    The beginning of the movie was slow and not very interesting, but once Yamaraj showed, the movie started to get more and more interesting. At first, I thought that he will let Aditya go back to live again, I was wrong.

    The concept is new and refreshing unlike the typical Hollywood movies. The special effects are also entertaining. I truly enjoyed it.
