I really wish I could think of something constructive to say about this film, but absolutely nothing comes to mind, and that's not because it's a remake of a Hollywood film, there is nothing wrong with a well-produced remake i.e Kasoor. Likewise, I have nothing against (or for) any of the actors/actresses in this film or the producer. Watched this with an open-mind with my mum and brother. Mum got up and left the room after half an hour, brother fell asleep halfway through and I was left waiting for this film to pick up. But it didn't. The humour was terrible - think the kind of jokes used three decades ago in Hindi films (example; one of the characters whistles every time he tries to talk and that is repeated throughout the film and that's supposed to be funny! The other says 'hello' pronouncing it 'hay-lo' and this is used for half the film and supposed to draw laughter every time. P-lease!) Some jokes were just downright offensive. The plot was simple enough to follow but felt like it was made up as the film went along. Probably the only saving grace is the ending - 3 minutes that actually gripped the viewer, but to be honest it was too little too late. This could have been a really good film had the rest of the film been made with the same level of creativity. As a bonus, Britney Spears' 'Stronger' video and Christina Aguliera's 'Dirrty' video are ripped-off for two of the songs in the film. You might just notice them if you manage to stay awake that long! If you are a fan of 'Jurm', 'Kasoor', 'Raaz', 'Yakeen' or any other decent Hollywood remake, stay clear of this. It does not entertain, let alone hold your attention. Be warned!
