      Good Time Pass...Feel Good Family Movie

      R Madhavan is a charmer in this movie. Decent songs Feel Good Movie One can enjoy be with family.
      6har1s

      6.2 - in the same ballpark as other movies during the 2000s

      Umm, a good laugh with few dialogues and scenes. The introduction is really funny and creates a connection between you and the protagonist. I am not from Bihar and have only heard bihari accent from the movies but I felt Madhavan's take on Bihari accent was funny.

      On the story side, just a typical timepass storyline, nothing too much happening. There wasn't anything extraordinary that you wouldn't have seen before, but it also isn't boring in a sense that you wouldn't have the urge to turn it off halfway.

      Climax was so so, but this movie would have been way funnier if the exact storyline was in Punjabi.

      I'd go for a sequel!

      This was a fun, entertaining, emotional movie and all those aspects work together to make it memorable. This is the type of movie that made me fall in love with Indian cinema and more movies like this, serve as enjoyable reminders! The ending came as a very pleasant surprise that made me laugh!! Perfect!

      Good movie, Bad production.

      Good movie, nice storyline, great cast and decent acting .. but production is the one that is probably pulling the movie rating down. Scenes seems to be patched together and does not look organic.

      It is OK! A decent Timepass Film

      I went to this movie with great reluctance. I was told by a good friend that it is the remake of a Tamil Film Nala Damayanthi, which was very good. I found it to be a decent masala film. The story is about a cook Ramji(Madhavan), who gets his sister married but cannot find the cash to pay for her dowry. His sister's father-in-law threatens him that if he doesn't pay the dowry quickly he will have no option, but to throw his sister out. He is given an offer to go to London to cook for a wealthy Indian Family, and he takes it in the hope of making some money for his sister's dowry. This story basically deals with he culture shock faced by poor Ramji in the alien land of England and the funny situations he gets himself into. He finds his Indian roots to be of great help in London and becomes a much loved character there. He also manages to find himself a love interest played by Samita Bangargi. She is the modern Gori Mem and she moves from hating Ramji to loving him deeply(Very Original!!!!). The comedy in the movie is good but it loses way in the middle. The movie tries to do too much and falls flat on its face. The scenes with the Immigration officials are a little silly. Overall a decent movie. A family entertainer. If you have 3 hours to kill, you can go for it.
