Over-Hyped Movie...nothing Special
23 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I was expecting a movie like Kal Ho Na Ho. One I would love instantly.

I was disappointed.

It started off weird. The airport scene was indeed very boring and overused. The friends very robot-like.

And then we FINALLY see him and her. The stars. The one we know will win all the best debut awards this year. Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza.

Imran Khan surprised me. I was expecting another mediocre, here in the industry because of relations but he is indeed good. Genelia is decent but needs to work on her accent. She also looks very similar to Sonai Kulkarni, who is a much better actress than she.

The story was average. It had its moments. There were times when you were laughing very hard and times when you wanted to go hide under the seat because of the syrupy sweet, totally unrealistic lives and dialogs and story.

It tried to teach parents some things as well. The situation with Imran's girlfriend's parents was a very good example and a bit believable as well. I hope parents learn from it.

Had I not heard so much about it, I would not have been so disappointed. It was that I was expecting so much, so, so much, that I was so sorely disappointed. It could have done so much better. There were times when it could have shined. But it failed.

I think that it is watchable, but only if you have no expectations.

A cute romantic comedy, masala movie.

6/10.
