Was I intoxicated and Jhoomed… Definitely No! The swaying effects were similar though, may be I was unconscious.


*Boy meets a girl. They are instantaneously and fatally attracted but they decide to make up stories of them being in relationship. Love is strange; it is always accompanied with fear. Fear of losing. *


The plot looks interesting to weave an engrossing script around it. And when the mantle of story telling is with Shaad Ali(of Saathiya fame) and Yash Raj Films to support him with loads of money, you expected nothing but excellence.


Ample budget sometimes pushes you to become extravagant and irresponsible. So, Mr. Ali experimented on YRF’s cost.


He tried to make it a Musical which turned out to be a Bollywood attempt at remaking ‘Nach Baliye’. *(A proof that Bollywood cannot even remake a TV serial, leave alone Hollywood hits).* His exploration of complex emotions in a lighter vein made a mockery of comedy and drama alike. If only he could have kept is as simple as Saathiya. Can we say it was Stylish? Naah.


Good Directors can bring out outstanding performances even from mediocre actors, like Shaad Ali himself did it with Vivek Oberoi but he failed miserably with Bobby Deol, Lara Dutta, Abhishek Bachchan, Priety Zinta this time.


The only saving grace was decent music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy


And Yes! What was this Mr. Bachchan Senior doing there in funny looking get up making a** out of himself?
