Bollywood tries its hand at a war comedy, of course borrowing heavily from other film industries, but fails abruptly because the intended humor, slapstick or whatever foolishness they carve out of the plot bangs on the audience's faces and disappears.
The dialogs, a strong point used to induce humor here, not only does causes boredom but also makes no sense at all. I like the idea of the witty remarks at the media & politics, but I didn't find any reason to laugh at their off-blown jokes. Nation leaders playing games on their smart-phones is funny but the same leader taking a sh*t while in a conference with other leaders is not jocular. I see where the writers are inspired from, but Hollywood war-comedies are far better.
There is no logic in the story, but yeah, the characters are tad funny. Their performances are below average and I still cannot fathom what Soha Ali Khan was doing there. Songs looked like additive and over the 2- hours I might have chuckled 2 or 3 times.
BOTTOM LINE: A failed attempt at something that requires the makers to have a huge sense of humor, which evidently they haven't.
Skip!
