Silly but watchable
1 February 2011
o.k. So this movie was lacking in the dialog department. Also it is over-the-top in a way that only Bollywood can carry off. Unfortunately it is difficult to tell in this movie if the silly melodrama is the plan or if the directing was abysmal. None-the-less, in a year of mediocre movies I enjoyed it. The stories are interesting. The younger female role, played by Ishitta Sharma was acted with sensitivity. The friendship between Shimmer (Sushmita) and Samara (Ishitta) was interesting. But it is the scenes between Shushmita Sen and Shahrukh Khan that make this movie. Shahrukh plays his character straight in this very melodramatic film and it proves to be the saving of what would otherwise have been an unwatchable film. The scenes between him and Shushmita are touching and fun and their story makes the movie.
