StarBoxOffice.com Review
Acting: The film completely belongs to the Anil – Nana jodi who keep you rolling with laughter with their one liners. Both are in complete form together. Akshay’s role doesn’t require any histrionics but he does his seedha saadha act adeptly. Katrina looks hot but is more of a showpiece in the film. Mallika in her limited part amuses. Paresh Rawal regales yet again. Feroz Khan is hilarious. Good support comes in form of Vijay Raaz and Snehal Dhabi.
Direction: Anees Bazmee should be conferred the title of Sultan of Nonstop Nonsense. He has made a truly madcap film that’s completely devoid of logic yet keeps you rolling with laughter nonstop throughout its running time. But he should have kept the second half’s length in check though. Agreed it doesn’t bore you a bit and Bazmee’s motive is to keep you fully entertained but then too much doesn’t necessarily mean too good. But kudos to him, for getting Nana to play a comic gangster with Anil for company.
Script: Inspired from Hugh Grant’s Mickey Blue Eyes, the basic simple plot is packed with unlimited gags that keep following one another in rapid succession. However, the climax though humorous, drags. The main twists in the plot take place in the second half and come in at just the right juncture when you feel it’s stagnating. Hilarious sequences like Rawal meeting Nana for the first time, Nana’s first day of film shoot arranged by Akshay, Mallika flirting with both Nana and Anil, Nana’s horse ride sequence, the pre-climax at cremation ground are worth the price of your ticket.
Music: Himesh Reshammiya, Sajid-Wajid and Anand Raj Anand have given a mixed bag score with only two songs worth a humm - the title number and the Tera Uncha Lamba Kad song. The rest songs are mere gap fillers.
