Oh no, 8 January 2011
Author: axh264-1 from United Kingdom

This looks really promising on the DVD cover - it makes you expect a feel-good comedy along the lines of beauty and the geek. WRONG.

It fails to get the potential out of a great idea - a team of volunteers that help suicidal people via their 'Dost India' helpline.

Its flaws are many - most notably being a very poor lead actress alongside an equally poor cast with the exception of Abraham. I honestly think a quality actress could have saved this but Pakhi is just not up to the job here.

I would say that this is mostly a bad film, but does entertain in places, offers a slightly new, quirky subject for Indian audiences and does manage to wrap things up with a decent ending.

A lukewarm 5/10
