It is NOT a great movie, it IS a good movie though

Rating: 6/10 (24 December 2009)

OK so just to make it clear, I do think this movie is very funny! As a matter of fact, its hilarious. My only problem with the movie is ---
1) Unoriginal - I understand that the original concept was developed by Mr Hirani himself, but nonetheless, its not fresh. Might as well call it "Munnabhai BSc - THE DEJA VU". I guess since the west has the 3 stooges, and 3 musketeers, we need something too right?
2) Old Jokes - the common urban legend of spending millions of dollars on a space pen instead of using a pencil, and "how does a motor start", and the fact that indians only want their children to be engineers or doctors (we do have actors, cricketers, and politicians, don't we?), just too old.
3) Unrealistic - I don't even feel the need to explain this one. (I think Bollywood directors firmly believe in an old adage- "Everything is possible" and they follow it religiously in every movie. Be it bringing a dead to life by saying "AAL IZZ WELL" or stopping a wedding at the last second (how does this not get boring, i can name 10 movies that have already done this and i don't even watch too many bollywood movies)
on a bright note, it is very funny (yes the jokes are old, but they are executed pretty well), please watch it and i apologize for being such a hater. I am just giving my 2 cents. Plus, I think everyone did a great job in the movie. I laughed my ass off on few occasions, but so did I while watching American Pie
...and so I strongly disagree with those who think this movie is a masterpiece. it is not.
6.5/10.
