The best film Mastan Duo, ever made was "Humraaz." Even though it was a copy of another movie, it had some great song&dance music by Himesh R. and acting by Bobby Deol and Amisha Patel. The Duo have lost the touch or they are trying to cater to the front benchers with comedy interludes by Omi Vaidya (it is question of who is more annoying him or the Lever guy) and the ever intruding and obnoxious Johnny Lever, who breaks into incessant laughter seeing a cell phone being used. The beginning is disjointed with a song&dance with Abishek and the usual array of Anglo Saxon spare dancers found in the back lot of any Mumbai Studio these days. This was out of place in the movie and the back ground effect was good but the music was horrible. No one does any acting except for Neil Nitin Mukesh. If my memory serves me well "Italian Job" was an incredible thriller, that Mustan Duo have copied poorly, to appease their favorite audience-the front benchers (the kind who think Johnny Lever is the greatest comedy actor since Mehmood.) This movie would have worked if the cast was all in the same caliber-serious and mature actors. One seducing dance to drug the General (this guy provides more comedy than Omi and Johnny) would have been fine, since this is still Bollywood and Bips needs to keep her gyrating and seducing skills, however the formulae of trying to appease both the front bencher and the elite audience does not work anymore. Majority of viewing audience have graduated from this low brow comedy. As far as Sonam Kapoor, how many movies does it take to realize that this woman can't act? The movie is disappointing and I don't care how much money was spent on foreign locations (the train scene was well done and the cinematography and sound are always ace in Indian movies.) I am not impressed that this was the first movie to be shot in North Pole or other dubious claims. The casting is bad with immature actors and unneeded comedians, lousy editing, silly dialogs and the direction is not what is to be expected from Mastan Duo. I do feel this movie is twenty times better than "Don 2" where we can see some handsome actors as opposed to this Filthy and ugly looking banchod from Filthystan.
