User Reviews

spoiler : one dollar movie

I've just seen this movie in theater. It was shot in Paris : this is the only realistic part of the movie. You see Indian people in Paris but nobody speaks french nor Hindi. The plot, a young guy build himself a reputation from a lie, becomes weaker as the film goes on, because you simply cannot believe in the characters. The author didn't succeed in finding the proper tone to tell the story. It has got humor but complete lack of feelings, and don't look for an idea (about mixing cultures or something), there is none. The only mix is the movie itself, The actors are cute. Nice music. Poor director.

This is too bad.
