I was eagerly looking forward to the 5th installment of this series and I am sorry to say that I have been really let down! Apart from the once in a while visuals, the movie has not been able to get even close to expectations. The first 10 minutes of the movie and you will start feeling disconnected from the movie already not caring at all what is gonna happen in the next scene. After resident evil 3 & 4, I was expecting a lot out of this installment and from Paul W.S. Anderson but he has not been able to live up the mark at all. The action scenes rather than being nail-biting, turned out to be hilarious and funny. There isn't a single moment in the movie where you are actually glued to screen. Milla Jovovich looks pretty as always, but that won't save the movie. All others have done a horrible job with their acting, especially Sienna Guillory. I would say that the only reason you would want to watch this movie is if you are a fan of the resident evil series and you don't mind wasting your money and time for the sake of this series.

After a long time you get to see a lovestory packaged in a completely fresh manner by Yashraj banner which has a very few dull moments. The debutant director Maneesh Sharma has done an excellent job in his first movie with a debutant actor Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma who is doing only her third movie. The movie though having no big names turns out to be a complete entertainer. The tone of the movie is set by the song 'tarkeebein' right in the beginning. You will realise that Ranveer Singh might not be that accomplished an actor, but still he has done a very good job playing Bitto Sharma, the carefree lad from Saharnpur studying in Delhi to break away from the clutches of his village agricultural business. On the other hand, Shruti Kakkar(Anushka) is a typical girl from Janakpuri, Delhi aspiring to be a big wedding planner. The hero heroine meet and starts the business of wedding planning. The movie thereon catches their journey from bottom to top with a lot of twist and turns. The director has tried to make sure that there is not a single dull moment in the movie and handles the storyline very well. The director has also captured the Delhi wedding scene in an excellent manner making this movie even more fun to watch. Ranveer Singh has got great comic timing and surprisingly he is the one who actually makes the movie worth the watch. Some people think that Ranveer is not hero material, but he has done complete justice to his role and you couldn't have expected better casting, though Manu Rishi was completely wasted as the inspector in the movie. Anushka, with all other actors has done a very good job. Though the movie becomes a bit predictable towards the end, but still overall it turns out to be a very good watch. Its a must see for people who love seeing fun movies!!

OK, so many people think that this movie is a masterclass and the director has done a great job with it, but in reality the director has just made a fool of all the people who see it. There were many positives in the movie too, but the negatives were so strong that the positives stood negated. To start with, the actors taken for the movie were i would say almost perfect, but that could not help the really dumb storyline. I guess the movie should have come with a disclaimer that all people in the movie, barring two, are really dumb, someone would make a fool off them and they would be completely clueless about that. What the director was doing for the film was that first he would introduce a character to the audience, then he would make them like that character, and then suddenly a big fool would be made out of that character. This thing continued till the end of the movie, be it for the character of Rananjay Singh, Dilip Singh or for that matter Dukey Bana. Well I understand that the director wanted to make a movie where he wanted to show how a single woman can manipulate so many men, but seriously, where in the world will a brother ask his sister to go around sleeping with men. The only reason a person would want to see this movie is if he wants to get irritated. Piyush Mishra who otherwise is a great actor was a complete waste with a role where he was made to act lunatic. In the end i would want to say that the director made this movie just to irritate the audience, which was definitely not expected from a director of Anurag Kashyap's caliber. And also the song 'jaise dur desh ke tower mein ghus jaaye aeroplane' was really insensitive towards the American sentiments. It was actually making fun of an incident where more than two thousand people lost their lives.
