SRK.....6 pack abs...grand, grand music...mast mast comedy...an eye-candysome Deepika - the movie packs everything. Isme romance bhi hai aur drama bhi, maar-dhaad bhi hai aur rona-dhona bhi - aur...aur dil thaam ke suniye janaab, isme to MAA bhi hai! Wo bhi apne dil ke saath!
On a relatively solemn note, 'F. Khan' (SRK's childhood friend?) must take a bow. The movie was Entertainment with a capital 'E' and to a 'T'. I did not realize how the three hours simply flew by - the reels flew smoother than cream.
Now I confess I am no mind-reader and I do not know whether Ms. Khan had only commerce in mind when she initiated this venture. To me it seems she had a hidden agenda - that of creating a gentle, very subtle satire on the Indian film industry and its inmates, at the same time tickling them and at the same time saluting them!
That makes it difficult for me to categorize this movie in any one genre. Is it purely light-hearted, meant to be taken with a pinch of salt all the way? Or is it pure satire? Or is it a genuine tribute to this same industry?
I think it is a very judicious and intelligent mixture of all three, complete with hidden scandals that could be true, the reel-life vs real life heroes that must be true, aatma-punarjanam formulae that did sell vs the inane story plus item number formula that is also selling. Something that only a very 'hatke' director can manage!
Did anyone else notice that the climax scene was almost a straight lift-off from the 1950s 'Madhumati'? And I came to hear that some shots had Manoj Kumar crying agonized 'Mind Its'. Not that I am complaining....'Theinx', Farah for the 'Happies Endings' :)

I have not watched the movie...So no comments...
Though I would like you to do a review for "Dil, Dosti etc"
Really waiting for that one...
Watch it, if you liked Main Hoon Na...she's used the same formula of comedy+satire+tribute here.
Dil, Dosti etc? Ok, lemme hunt for its DVD...better still mail it to me :)
i liked the movie.. nothing in particular.. but as a whole..
I guess her passion was somewhere reflected on the screen..
Dipika ROcks.. Even SRK looked great.. unlike his old self..
Couldn't endure it in the cable. :(
Deepika's looks are fantastic though.
The moviez tailor-made for 70mm...70mm for the 70s it seems :)
