Just Pathetic !!!!!!!!!

This is just an awful and pedantic put parody of 'FRIENDS' , have seen in years. I had attended Vir Das's stand up once , where he was sure of a good stage career , but his big screen and silver screen image is just bland with jokes that really don't get you anywhere. His big screen debut was no better . May be he should stick to his career as a touring stand up as his show on CNBC isn't getting him anywhere. The world's number one Condiment 'Salsa' proved to be a bland affair with lack of characterization and skimpy modeling . I don't say the movie concept was bad but , they could have maybe let the idea of 'Free friendship' grow to its essence among the majority of the Indian public. OK , where does this review leave the actresses and actors .Well , they show tremendous promise but have to work a lot on their skills and natural deliveries .I have no doubt in mind that they could be some day very good actors.
