First thing first, be it a good review or a bad review, this movie is going to be a hit for sure. Secondly, you are in love only when you are able to see Rab (GOD) in other person (Adi’s way of finding true love). The much hyped duo of SRK and Adi chopra have come up a classic cliché of the 90’s (may be a 10 years late) but it is the portrayal of Surinder Sahni by SRK (a realistic Indian common man) that really works for the film.
The film showcases SRK in a double avtaar. One as the lovable Surinder Sahni and other as the irritating hunk, Raj (YRF films does not seem to get over DDLJ). The flim revolves around a dance contest which the reinvented SRK (Raj) uses to woe her wife (Anushka). While Adi scores in depicting the innocence and cuteness of Surinder he fails to strike the same chord in case of Raj. Debutante Anushka is good and fits the role of a Punjabi girl. But, the scriptwriter does not etch out her character well. Vinay Pathak as SRK’s friend is excellent and scores again with his brilliant acting. It is more or less a feel good film
The other positives of the film are its good music (not as good as a regular SRK starrer), art direction and Adi attempt to make it a complete masala entertainer.
The negatives of the film include is a loose storyline, too much of referral to SRK’s old films (OSO has already exploited to the limit), emotions are more or less contrived and reluctance of Adi to get over DDLJ, which is evident throughout the film.And yes, too much of referral to Rab is frustating...
And yes, the end credits is something to talk about and is quite lovable and it adds to the feel good factor of the film
Rating: **1/2
