User Reviews

Great movie despite a not-so new story

I thought this movie was fabulous. Its strong point would definitely be Priyanka Chopra who didn't get to showcase her talents in The Hero. Lara seemed disappointing. Akshay, as always, carried out his role well. Songs were good. Besides the twist in Lara's life, the story was not new. However, the way in which it was delivered along with the fresh faces made it very enjoyable.
