First of all, let me say that Rani Mukerji is just phenomenal. She is capable of a wide array of roles, and she proves it yet again. However, even her presence does not make this film watchable. The script is horrible, the dialogues are cringeworthy, jokes are painful to hear and at times the scenes are stretched too long for their own good. The movie is a solid 2 and a half hours long, where it shouldn't have been more than 2 hours, even with all the songs. The loudness and over-acting by most actors also works against the movie. It seems like everyone tries extremely hard to make you laugh, including the scriptwiter who has added scenes in the film that have nothing to do with the story. The item songs done by Rani are small moments of relief in otherwise unbearable film. And in fact, that was the main reason for me to watch this movie in the first place. Prithviraj does not get a good start in Bollywood here, but he does well for his small and mostly non-talking role. My vote for this movie is, 3 out of 10 -
1 star indicating the movie is awful (because there is no 0 in IMDb)
1 star for Rani's presence
1 star for the rare moments where the movie makes sense
My recommendation is that if you must watch this movie, make sure you watch it with no expectations whatsoever. You'll be able to tolerate it better.
