I'm surprised at some of the harsh reviews here. I am not a Bollywood fan, I probably watch one Bollywood movie every 2 years.. and I just loved this one because it made me laugh.
It makes fun of some of the embarrassing truths about Bollywood. Take Slumdog Millionaire and the obsession about getting an Oscar. By making a spoof out of it, the movie finally made me believe there are at least some sane people in Bollywood who have some self-respect. Why should we care about the Oscars when we have awards of our own? The Oscar isn't even that great an award.
You need to watch this movie with family or a bunch of friends who have some exposure to Bollywood movies. Everything is exaggerated and that's what makes it fun. Looks like both the Akshays really enjoyed their role. Loved them both here. The dialogue is purposely done in a filmi style. They are making fun of the industry. Come on people! Have a sense of humour about it.
I'm giving it a 10 to offset some of the poor reviews here. Come on folks!
