n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This movie is full of random occurrences and loose ends which leave the viewer frustrated to the core. Not what I expected from ace filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor.Story-wise, the film does not make much sense since everything is conveniently depicted without any nuances behind the process. Okay, so Akshay's unfortunate twin is behind the whole mess, but how does he manage to land up everywhere going unnoticed? How does Akshay survive the burning of the Tasveer? How does Sharmila Tagore escape the brutal attack by her son? Why do two stupid lines motivate the evil twin to commit suicide? How did Ayesha Takia keep fooling Akshay all the time? When did she meet his evil twin? And the biggest question of all, what bearing does Akshay's photo entering specialty have at all in this film? By the way, the explanation of how he developed this ability was no less frustrating itself.Performance-wise, Akshay is good. Ayesha is great here but has been cheated by the script like almost all others; especially Rushad Rana who seems to be what Jugal Hansraj is to Yashraj films, a compulsion. A waste of a good actor.Why do I give the film 2 stars then? One, it is well-polished in its graphics, pretty comparable to western films. Also, Salim-Suleiman's outstanding music is a complement to even lousy films, more so in the case of this one.Unlike many other reviewers, I wouldn't recommend this for even a one time watch. This is best given a miss.

Nagesh Kukunoor was one of my idol directors from India. I had never expected anything so cheap from him. Not only the story is a worthless piece of rat-droppings, the direction is crappy too. Akshay Kumar has done what he could, which unfortunately could not save the movie. This is sad time for Indian directors. The director who is capable of making Dor, Iqbal and Hyderabad Blues should never make a cheap thriller like this. This is not only dumbing down his own work, but the whole Hindi art cinema industry. I would also like to plead to Hindi movie fans that, Instead of trying to increase the ratings, please rate Hindi movies seriously. This will help promote them further. Movies like this deserve low score, which makes other better movies recommendable.

one of the best thrillers ever to come up in recent years.I just wonder about the stupidity of Indian critics who just tried to play down this movie.this movie ain't a work of art and it is not intended to as kukunoor's other's film. it's a plain thriller that keeps u on the edge.To start with the the script of the film is superb.it written by kukunoor himself.as some critics have pointed out,there are some loopholes for example the character of Jeet is not well defined.how he gets to Canada befriends sheila etc remains unanswered. all this are however overshadowed by Kukunoor's slick direction.he controls the characters very well with is apt treatment.cinematography,background score are of top notch quality.performance wise Javed Jaffrey as Happi happy with an i is superb.he steals the show handsdown!. as for Akshay Kumar one expects a better performance from him as Jai.However the real hero of the film is Nagesh kukumoor.one of the most important faces of Indian cinema, is the real hero of the film. I just hope that good sense prevails over the critics and in near future they don't come up with their trash and dump over films like this.IF RAB NE BANA DI JODI DESERVES 2 STAR BY RAJEEV MASAND , AND 3 STAR KHALED MOHAMMAD 8 X 10 DESERVES 10 / 10.

Simply one of the best Bollywood films of 2009. The film is a unique genre rarely tried by Bollywood but it proves to be an amazing movie from start to finish. The storyline of the film has an interesting plot and contains great suspense. Incredible acting by Akshay Kumar, one of his best thriller movies. The cinematography of the film was also superb. This movie is not the typical Bollywood movie with a high degree of romance, comedy, and musical items. It is definitely worth a watch if your a fan of suspense and thriller movies and Akshay Kumar. Overall, I am glad I watched this movie on the big screen on the first day of its release. My favourite Bollywood release of 2009 at this point. 8 by 10 is 10/10.
