Seriously not a product you would expect from somebody who has strings of hits to his credit namely Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Yes Boss, Chalte Chalte and my favourite Phir Bhi Dil Hain Hindustani. Clearly the midas touch is missing. After watching the first few reels, one can walk out and confidently write a review (like me here!). The idea is pretty stale probably belonging to the roaring 70's (Sanjay Chhel, how did you manage to market the lousy stuff?).
Aziz Mirza's Raju Ban Gaya & Yes Boss contributed towards numero uno status for SRK and with the same hope Shahid Kapur gives his best.
Hey Baby, you need some serious advise on fashion ie. Vidya Balan at her awful best.
Vishal Malhotra as a side-kick is becoming monotonous in his la Rajendranath roles.
Om Puri is wasted.
The lucky mascots donning the narrators and fortune teller hats don't help either ie. SRK and Juhi.
Music by Pritam is good with a few catchy fusion mix numbers.
There is no good reason to base the story in Canada. Any city from India would do. Old age home idea is plagiarised from Lage Raho Munnabhai.
PS: Will I finish the rest of the movie? Hope not!
