Movies like this one make me feel
that either age is catching up fast with me that somehow I end up getting
irritated with them or the former masters of the arts are failing big time to
make a movie worthy of even one good laugh. This is definitely not the David
Dhawan I knew – I am sure this one is directed by one of his Jr. Assistants and
he ends up taking the credit just making sure that his fans will enjoy the
movie and not trash it. Believe me, it’s that bad – it is indeed not even 10%
of what we know of the David Govinda combo – somehow I felt before watching the
movie that this could be a great start for the Father Son duo – but it’s a
disaster. The only guy who will feel the pinch if this one makes a name (or
money) will be poor Shahid Kapoor as Varun Dhawan does nothing in the movie but
copies all his moves back to back, right from dialogue delivery to dance moves
to comic timing. Unfortunately it has no story to be told, pedestrian comedy,
total waste of talent (I mean Anupam Kher and Saurabh Shukla), on top of that
monkey face Arunoday Singh is the only saving grace as he did made me smile at
least a couple of times, two hotties too weren’t able to hold my interest and
so does the hero. Twenty minutes into the movie and I was praying that my kiddo
shouldn’t pick up those words that they were using frequently – I guess that’s a
first for David Dhawan movie, although she had a great time laughing out loud
with the movie no doubt on that but that’s where age comes in picture I guess –
I may have liked this movie ten years ago but not now. It falls flat on the
ground for me and unfortunately I will have to give it a way below average rating
of 1/5 and will call it an opportunity lost for Dhawan duo. What little he
indeed achieved with SOTY is resolved with this one and look at the quality of
work his counterparts have done after that movie and what he is doing. But it’s
too early to rate him – let’s wait for a couple of more of his movies to assess
his talent. Give it a miss if you haven’t seen it – you will miss nothing but
if you have seen it – do let me know how you liked it.
