Good start, but then it gets ruined
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
View Moreits a worth watch movie....i was reluctant to watch it since some of the reviews were quite bad, but due to good songs i watch it and I actually didn't at any time felt that movie is not moving anywhere. It is certainly much better than some of the asinine movies coming out of Bollywood .All actors does a good job ( much better than I would have expected and the director has been smart by having a good ensemble built up around actors who complements and keep the momentum going. Madhavan does a great job. Only negative is that the script could have probably done with a little more tweaking, but nevertheless a good effort and something different from Bollywood. Would definitely recommend this....
View MoreThis is probably the worst movie i have ever seen in my whole life.I don't get it, how can this hideous movie fetch 6.2 ratings, it don't even deserve a single star. And the people who have written so damn good comments/reviews about the movie, must be the relatives of the producers or actors. The story of the movie is out of the world. When someone wants to commit suicide i don't think they are gonna call anybody before they actually do it. Seriously i don't buy the story at all, it is 100% unrealistic.I wonder how anybody can bear this crap, and it was a mistake on my part too, to watch this movie. The cast and crew of the movie should be punished harshly. The acting is awful, screenplay and story is non-sense. So please do not waste neither your precious time nor money for this.
View MoreBefore watching this movie I spent some time going through the reviews online and decided not to watch. But my wife really wanted to see a Bollywood movie and since this was the only one playing in the theater near-by, we decided to give it a shot.Boy am I glad I watched this movie. I was having a hard time controlling my laughter. The storyline is really original and the acting is super. Pakhi, who has played the role of lead actress, has been wonderful. She has handled the emotional scenes without getting too melodramatic. John Abrams is great also. He is very natural without any over acting.This movie has a western overtone (live in relationships, pre-marital sex) and that is probably why it has not been accepted in India. But if you are looking for two and a half hours of clean fun with no "rona-dhona" and drama do go and watch this movie.
View MoreFirst of all, I want to point out to the fact that Abbas Tyrewala thinks he is a super intellectual being and a know-it-all guy, having strong opinions and judgments on people like Deepak Chopra (who is double his age, very senior and a renowned author), where he himself has read 5 books on Indian and Western philosophy; he and the writer (also the actress who failed in her job as a writer and did not one bit suit the role of the lead)proclaim themselves as authority on world philosophy. The script kept quoting philosophers who had otherwise no place in the situations which looked so pretentious and pseudo intellectual. The only person Trying very hard to save the film is Mr. John Abraham who pulls forth the script. Raghu Ram also tried his best to bring life to the dead script with his comic timing in few of the scenes (some of the jokes were really lame though). The film on the whole drags on and on.The beautiful songs by the Maestro A.R.RAHMAN have not been done justice to and have been put randomly where they made no sense. Nevertheless the songs had beautiful melodies and meaningless lyrics (fly fly, baby fly-really???)! Tyrewala, who wrote such gems as Munnabhai MBBS and Maqbool, has directed JHS from a script written by his wife Pakhi. For a guy so well-known for having written engaging dramas, it's surprising he agreed to direct a script which is so scattered, and scenes that seem to be right out of American sitcoms, like Friends, How I Met Your Mother and even The Big Bang Theory.Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY and most importantly your PRECIOUS TIME!!!
