3/10
Very awful movie, in any way.

Warning: Spoilers
My wife is a die hard Sharukh Khan fan, and even though Sharukh has a small performance in this movie, we had to see this one. Mostly Sharukh is a guarantee for a good movie. Not this time.

The story is very poor. Fardeen Khan plays a player who has to marry Ishitta Sharma in order to get money from his father's will. He marries her, but only for his father's money and leaves the girl in her village. This girl transforms from Clark Kent to Superman. Is was great in 1978, but nowadays we don't swallow this crap anymore as an audience.

I never liked Sushmita Sen as an actress and this movie doesn't change that feeling a bit. She acts very poor and it's very strange that there blows a wind indoor everywhere where she is and is blows only through her hair and not through the hair of other women. I don't get that from Bollywood movies; why does the wind have to blow through peoples hair when they are inside a building???

Sharukh Khan has grown old. He still acts clumsy and is not refreshing. We still watch movies from him like DDLJ, KANK, Darr and so on. It's a pity we cannot enjoy his new movies because they are crap. Also the part he jumped into the ocean to get a dog toy from Sushmita was very stupid. What audience swallows this crap? It's like a standard Bollywood high school movie where a student can play the guitar because that should be cool. It might be, but it is not the reality. Like Hritik Roshan drives a Lamborghini when he goes to college in KKKG but still cannot tie his shoelaces.

Ishitta Sharma is a beautiful girl, good as a model but not good enough as an actress. But in Bollywood mostly it is as an actress enough to be beautiful while you lack of acting skills, like Bipasha Basu or Priyanka Chopra. I can compare her performance with the performance of Jessica Alba and that's not a compliment.

The way Fardeen Khan dumps his newly wedded wife and tries to hit on her while he does not know he already is married to her and Ishitta Sharma wants to win his love for her is very crazy and stupid. In what kind of world do these people live in? Blinded by money? When Fardeen Khan is drunk on the boat and shouts to Sharukh everybody listens to him. In real life nobody would listen to a drunk fool. And why did Fardeen want to give his mother's diary to "just a girl". Like this girl is interested in what his mother has written. No, she doesn't give a "peep".

What a terrible movie. Sharukh doesn't make many movies nowadays and when he does make a movie I expect a lot of it. It's a pity he cannot keep the level we are used from him. Maybe he shouldn't have signed for this role at all, but that he should have signed for the role in Slumdog Millionaire. But his loss is a gain for an other magnificent actor.
