I can't really make out why this film was made other than to cash in on the Akshay 'Khiladi' craze and to pair him (finally) with Juhi Chawla. The film has a bizarre charm to it, simultaneously sunny and silly and unapologetically illogical. Akshay gives a rare glimpse of a latent knack for comedy, but expectedly Juhi Chawla dominates the show with her patent (and now patented) perfect comic timing. Indian women are never expected to be funny, but Juhi gets all the respect in my book for being the reigning comic beauty of India. (Note to filmmakers: make more comedies with Juhi Chawla! And not just the ones where she has to share the screen with Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan. Write her a great, classic comedy, a la Chaalbaaz!)
