Mr. Mad bashes up people for the slightest breach. Saves a man from drowning & then beats im up severely for swimming in a prohibited area. Ms. Daadi & the perfunctory Ms. Behen (who remains nameless throughout the movie) fret, but Mr. Mad fumes away. Amrita Arora in a (thankfully) miniscule role ditched Mr. Mad & marries another bloke telling Mr. Mad that she's too scared of him.
Mr. Mad takes the next train to Goa to reform. Ms. Daadi prays that he finds the girl of his dreams & lo! as soon as he lands in Goa he spots Ms. Annoying who always seems to be dancing or doing a striptease. He ofcourse falls for her and answers Ms. Daadi's prayers.
Mr. Mad learns to control his temper whilst providing the illusion of humor to the audience by accidentally injuring Ms. Annoying's father, all the while taking ample time to dream elaborate dance sequences with Ms. Annoying.
Enter Mr. Bad. Mr. Bad's mission in life seems to be to make Mr. Mad mad. Mr. Bad does bad but Mr. Mad manages to not get too mad. Boggled? So was I.
But the best... err the worst I mean, was yet to come. The finale had Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Srinath, Ashish Nehra, Kapil Dev, Siddhu and Parthiv Patel, trying their best to get some expressions on their wooden faces. They are best left doing what they do best - playing cricket. Movies are not meant for any of these cricketers and I have no idea what cheap thrills the script-write imagined he would provide by introducing this scene.
Yes, David Dhawan has borrowed from Hollywood before, but this unsavory khichdi of Anger Management & Meet the Parents was way way way below his normally entertaining standards.
I won't bother going into all the dull details. Suffice to say that it was a BIG effort to sit through this piece of crap that's passing off as a movie. The music was again a copy of many English numbers the most sacrilegious being 50 cents ''In Da Club''.
The only saving grace was Akshay Kumar who did a good job considering what a shoddy movie this was. Salman was alright and Priyanka was her usual aggravating self. Come on David! You can do better than this.
