Kabir Khan is not such an accomplished director, and with only two mediocre films to his name, Kabul Express and New-york, It was a real tough challenge for him to be able to handle a phenomenon named Salman Khan. There were media reports that Salman Khan interfered to a great extent in the making of the movie and also that he was so overconfident that he told media, that my movie doesn't requires publicity.
But me being an ardent Salman fan, the film overall was not great but not bad either.
A RAW agent falls in love with an ISI agent and they elope together to make their own free world.
Salman's introduction scene was really awesome, but then the 1st half looses pace and drags a bit, at one stage it really becomes a bit dull and boring. One highlight of the film, Katrina kaif must not have looked more beautiful in any other film than this one. And maybe she has brushed up her acting skills too for sharing screen space with her X dude. The chemistry between them was more than rocking.(Ideal pair)
The music was a big let down, Lapataa and masha allah were average numbers.
Cast performance wise, nice to see a veteran Girish karnad after such a long time in movies, and he has performed with elan. Ranbir Shorey was good, except for his bearded look which looked a little weird on him.
Cinematography excellent, Action sequences well executed. A film can't be completed without flaws, so it was a little silly on the director's part to have left the story of Profsesor Kidwai in the middle when the whole 1st half was based on the same. What was professor Kidwai's motives, what happened to him, was he actually guilty, everything remains unanswered.
But in a Salman Khan movie, who cares about the story, the second half was a joy ride though it was cut short as the duration of the film is just 2hrs 10 minutes. When you seem to be just getting in with the groove of Salman's style, his stunts, the adrenaline has started showing signs of ecstasy, the movie gets over. You leave the theater wishing for more.
Don't watch this movie in a multiplex, go for a single screen if you want to see the extent of madness for the heartthrob of millions- We call him SALMAN KHAN.
