Goofs

In the chase sequence towards the movie's end, while in Brazil, Aryan and Sunehri are shown driving their bike on the left side of the road along with the other traffic, when vehicles drive on the right side of the road in Brazil. This is because the chase scene was in fact filmed in Durban, South Africa.

User Reviews

A good entertainer

A perfect masala flick from Bollywood dream factory. Loved almost all of it.

Some positives:

• Ash is back with a bang. Gread bod, great looks, a little better acting. But still dances like an Ostrich. - Hritik steals most of the show. Great dance sequences, good acting, nice stunts and great looks. - Abhishek as usual was great (except for one song in which he looks like a paan wala). - Bipasha looked hot. Her looks overshadowed her poor acting.

Negatives: - Uday Chopra was irritatingly boring. The movie would have been much better without this copabanana. - Poor execution of so called 'world class thefts'. Any Pick picketer is much smoother in execution. But can be tolerated along with overall masala. - Very average quality songs. Only one or two are good, rest are really crap.

Cheers,
