The story
Samir (Salman Khan) is a handsome hunk working as a lifeguard in Goa.
One day he spots a girl who almost makes his heart burst out. She is Rani (Priyanka Chopra), an aspiring designer dedicated to making her career. A totally smitten Samir gets down to the act of wooing her. But there are hurdles galore.
The first one is none other than his flatmate Sunny (Akshay Kumar), who is no less besotted with Rani. And surprisingly the streak of luck often favors Sunny, while everything Samir does to impress Rani goes spectacularly wrong. Even the advises from Samir’s astrologer friend Raj (Rajpal Yadav) bring forth nothing ominous for him.
And then there is hurdle number two - Rani’s stern father Colonel Dugraj Singh (Amrish Puri) who fought the Goan war against the Portuguese and is now retired and over-protective about his daughter.While both Samir and Sunny try their best to woo Rani, she discovers fun and enjoyment in life, all this while keeping both the men on tenterhooks.
The film emphasis on light moments and pure entertainment; there is hardly any scope for dramatic portions in the script. There are some genuinely well-written comic scenes that tickle your haw-haw bone.
As for performances, Salman and Priyanka are likeable and charming. Both display an affinity for comedy . As usual, both Akshay and Rajpal create much hilarity with their wonderful comic timing.
The creative team also manages to do some superior work. The song sequences are intelligently shot (especially the title song and lal duppata). The cinematography is awesome whenever it has the freedom to be Farha Khan’s choreography is great as usual.
MSK is a mixed affair. It is worth watching once just to chuckle at the funny bits but the movie is not one that you will want to view again in a hurry.
