I honestly think that people from the Bollywood fraternity should think twice before venturing into the complicated and demanding field of movie direction.
Main Hoon Naa is one of the most ridiculous movies ever to (dis)grace the screen. The film solely relies on the acting prowess of Shahrukh. The movie neither has a strong story line neither good action sequences. Farah Khan had tried to bake mush and brawl with sentiments and songs, but had ended up putting the owen on fire.
The opening action scene sums up the clumsiness of the director. In a high profile interview of the General of the Indian army, in a building guarded like Alcatraz by the armed forces, the terrorists are able to enter as audience with guns sticking out of their butts. Great! So the profound security system didn't even bother to search the audience before letting them in! ( you get better security at railway stations ).
Now once the fighting starts between Ram( shahrukh ), who like all Indian heroes goes alone, and Raghav( Suniel ),we get to hear that "backup" is on the way. However, Raghav after flooring Ram, walks away coolly from the building with his croonies! Hats off to our armed forces.
Now the story starts to really rot, when the General tells Major Ram that to ensure the success of Project Milaap, he must go and protect his daughter, who was supposedly on Raghav's hitlist and because she is not on talking terms with him , the great General. What was the director thinking? Does she believe that international decisions for India are governed by the whims and fancies of the Indian General? doesn't government or the rest of the defence board have any say in it? killing the general's daughter will destroy the project, which means the general will be so heartbroken that he will pull it off? Ha.
Then you have the usual bastard brother-legal brother love-hate drama to contend with, which in moments is humorous and enjoyable. However, the setting of the college is completely, and i mean completely, Bollywood style, with an idiotic principal, cartoon like teachers and a useless bunch of students who think study is a crime and manage to remain in the college after failing for years together. You see the faculty cheering when students engage in deadly stunts! Its a disgrace to the academic world, this movie! Hold on...the package also includes some completely moronic stunts, including one in which Ram manages to chase down a speeding SUV in a rickshaw! Really, the SUV manufacturers ought to have sued the producers. And by the way, what kind of trained terrorists can't shoot down a guy paddling a rickshaw like a circus monkey, especially when they are equipped with machine guns ans bazookas! The love stories are completely artificial and irritating as well. What kind of girl goes nuts over a guy who is a certified failure, has no money, dresses like a tramp, has no artistic skills and who considers her an ugly chick and doesn't mind speaking out his mind? beautiful girls have no taste left or what? And Ram, for all his army background, behaves like a loafer in front of Sushmita Sen.
The ending is as pathetic as rest of the movie, and is so predictable that i don't want to tell it just so to see the satisfaction on your faces that you got it right. See it only if you idolize shaharukh khan.
