Fantabulous & Completely Family Entertainer, A Winner
8 August 2013 | by (Kolkata) – See all my reviews

Awesome Movie.. Fantastic Songs And Background Music By Vishal-Sekhar.. As a Lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya Has Done The Job Superbly... As Early Mentioned By SrK Previously Deepika's Name Is First On The Cast List That is a Unique Thought.. After a Bunch Of a Blockbuster Films Like Bol Bachchan & Golmaal 3 , Rohit Shetty Has Taken This Film Into Another Level.. Deepika Has Gained Her Fan Following Double After Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani.. Love The Way How Deepika Acts In The Entire Film... And The Villains (Satyaraj & Nikitin Dheer) Suits The Role Perfectly.. Its My First Movie Of Satyaraj & As a Villain He Takes My Heart.. And Finally Shahrukh Khan, He Has Done a Comedy Role After a Long Period.. What a Acting By Him Also.. At 47 He Looks Like 25 Years Old.. Being a Die-Hard Srk Fan If Anyone Wants a Mind Freshener, a Love Story , a Two & Half Hours Completely Action & Comedy Entertainer I Suggest You 2 Watch This Movie Once... At Last, But Not The Least, Srk+Deepika+RohitShetty+VishalSekhar+Satyaraj = (Biggest Bolckbuster)
