Warning !! This review is for Professionals above 30 and intellects of any age who go looking out for quality entertainment on precious and well earned weekends. Writing this review is my antidote and redemption after suffering a poorly concocted diet of cacophony, idiotic humour, crudely spoken one-liners and a plot which is more of a mocktail for almost three hours. Hope no poor unsuspecing soul will be trapped after reading this review for https://mouthshut.com. The only redeeming feature was the cup of cofee in a comfortable seat at INOX and enviably neat and clean London peeks (How I wish some of us could transform our cities a-la -Shahrukh in Swadesh).
First the Plot: Seems to be conjured by a confused thriller reader who likes cut and pastes, templates and wizards as in MS office. The thought convergence of comedy/thriller plot writers across bollywood seems to point towards USof A rather than carrying the torch from Hrishikesh da. The sophistication, elegance, logic to connect and spontaniety is missing. It is empty and unreal right from the beginning and an insult to your intelligence and time.
Cast Performace: The plot and story are so empty/disconnected that it does not elicit the convincing performance from the Govinda we Knew. Sadly he looked jaded and no where near the vivacious entertainer of yore. Akshay Kumar in the joint lead looks naive, school boyish and regrefully an under performing actor with a bad-throat voice. Lara Datta is a waste of charm and talent (A sad let down after NO Entry). Jackie seemed ill at ease and was quite stiff for a police man and stood out like a square peg in a round hole. The so called comedians should be barred and dropped from the team for poor performaces as is the case with cricketers. They should be told to begin afresh after undergoing a test to make depressed and chronically cynical people laugh.
After all this you are not really interested or care for the sound track or cinematography. I emptied my mobile SMS inbox, checked all my missed calls, remembered a thousand things undone and was conected with the mad world for the entire duration. How ever I will be lying through my teeth if I did not concede that I did have involuntary giggles a few times though on retrospect it was more out of paisa vasooli and helplessness than genuine splits. This is my debut on this siteand I sincerely hope that the target population of well informed, intellectual intelligensia will protect each other from such pitiable ventures by giving their true impressions for the protection of unsuspecting souls from their movie outings. I hope to check out this site for reviews of quality as in once bitten......Hope this site will not let me down.
