Storyline

After the couple's passing, Uday takes over in his dad's footsteps, and takes it upon himself to try and get Sanjana married - in vain, as no one wants to be associated with a crime family.

Patchwork

The movie is nothing more than it promises to be...a series of jokes tied loosely together. Although some of the jokes are old and repetitive, watching actors like Paresh Rawal (character borrowed from Albert Brooks in the Michael Douglas starer 'The In-laws'), Akshay Kumar (character borrowed from Hugh Grant in 'Mickey Blue Eyes'), Anil Kapoor & Nana Patekar get their comic timing right is priceless. Anil Kapoor proves once again what he did in Janbaaz and Trimurti: he is definitely one of the best on-screen bad boys of Bollywood.

Katrina and Mallika both look stunning, which perfectly and exactly serves their purpose in the film.

Watch it only for the above listed reasons and none other.
