One of the worse movies I have ever seen.
22 August 2013 | by See all my reviews

I have no idea why this movie is getting such good ratings. The movie was a pain to watch, with a handful of original comic moments. Shah Rukh Khan did a pretty horrible job of acting. Its disappointing that this movie is doing so well in the box office. Seriously, where are Bollywood's standards. I understand this is supposed to be a comedy/drama movie, but come on. Oh well, its made by Rohit Shetty, could not have expected anything better. The direction is horrible, more of a Tamil/Tollywood movie than a Bollywood movie. Cars flying, hero beating the crap out of 20 guys at once, I guess that turns on the audience.

VERY DISAPPOINTING MOVIE. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
