When you bring Priyadarshan, the director of "Hera Pheri" again. You're sure to find a whole mess of hungama filled with laughter.
Akshu
and Affy together in a film. Hmmmm, it's different but not a bad
idea. Newcomer Rimi is really cute looking. Some scenes, she reminds
me of Amrita Arora. All I knew about this movie is that it's going to be a
comedy.
I've never been a really big fan of Akshu but I always appreciated his acting. I liked him more after "Dil Chahta Hai" and loved his new look along with the rest of the gang of "Dil Chahta Hai" - Aamir & Saif. But still Akshu didn't have that magic like the Khan's or Hrithik. His acting is still very much appreciated.
Aftab
AKA Affy is such a cutie pie. Has that loveable baby face that when he's
with a heroine without a baby face, makes him look so boyish and the heroine
older even though they could be the same age. I always liked Affy since
"Mast;" however after his series of flops, the admiration I had for
him did fade. I started to like him a lot again after "Kasoor"
but it wasn't the same charm he had in "Mast."
Rimi is so beautiful in the film. Her clothes, makeup, everything looks good on her. Her acting is just average. Her character is goofy and funny just like everyone else's. No one person in the film actually stands out from the rest in the comedy scenes.
Overall,
the movie is enjoyable and worth watching. It's not the best comedies but
it will make you laugh. It gets confusing at times and makes you just want
the movie to hurry up and finish.
