I feel a real spoilsport, when so many have thoroughly enjoyed this Indian farce, that I couldn't go beyond the first hour.
The film looked promising (I'm a photographer, for starts) but the broad, base humour jarred after a while and whilst I could see that it might be neatly meshing social comment, satire and slapstick, I could take no more!
Maybe it's because I'm non-Indian, in an older age group or just wasn't in the mood. I can't help thinking that if this was a Hollywood affair, with the genre's usual crass, boorish and sweary 'stars', this wouldn't have worked for anybody and it would be less popular.
Sorry if I can't add much more to this, but feel I should add my, less than praising comments, too.
