I'm Sorry

An all out hybridized entertainer!

Pretty much every movie critic has ripped this film apart and called it "highly avoidable." I, on the other hand refute all of them. Why? The answer is simple. I paid $8 to watch this movie, and never during the 3 hour span of the film was I ever bored. It entertained me for every second of those 3 hours that I watched it. It should be obvious that this is not meant to be some serious, thought-provoking classic. It is meant solely to entertain. And as part of Indian cinema, extensive hybridization of a film is absolutely necessary to entertain an undifferentiated audience, which this film has the capability of doing. It has action when needed (although the scenes are flicked right out of John Woo's "Face Off"), it has some great comedy through a fabulous performance by Juhi Chawla, and some wonderful music and a kickass background score by A.R. Rahman. Shahrukh and Jackie are very competent in their roles. The movie is pure escapism and to provide that, the director Shashilal Nair does a decent job. It is extremely surprising why this film flopped and why critics took the film so seriously and denounced it completely. I mean come on, cut the entertainers some slack and enjoy the movie. Not every movie you critics watch absolutely HAS to be a work of art. Just take it in as what it is. Free your mind a little.
