Not a must watch but surely an entertainer, 19 February 2009
7/10
Author: shreckk from India

No one expects a masterpiece from Priyadarshan because he does what he is best at, that is, entertaining the audience; be it the comedy in hera-pheri or hungama, or the tragedy in kyun ki or the recent emotional melodrama Billu. Even though the first half of the movie was pretty boring but what saved the movie was its nice script and great piece of acting by everyone from SRK to Irfan khan to even the child artists and other supporting cast. The item songs of DEEPIKA and KAREENA gave the value of my money though PRIYANKA's song made me wanting more of her(she was looking so wonderfully sexy). Soundtrack was also good if not rocking. All in all, it was a regular entertainer with good music, good script,good acting and average screenplay.
