Four, including ME for watching it..

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2011)

I read several reviews trying to understand why I disliked this movie so much and hoping to change my mind because maybe I was wrong in my judgment and the other reviewers were right singing all those praises. No way. My gut feeling didn't go away.
I've never seen a Bollywood production before, and it will take me a while until I decide to see another one. I got the impression for what I read from other comments that Indian people reacted very favorably towards this movie, laughed at its humor and somebody even said that he had a good cry with some of the scenes...
Very probable, my total lack of knowledge of the language has a lot to do with my reaction while watching this movie, and it didn't help either the English spoken here and there interspersed with the Indian language, an English accented quite differently from the British or American accents my ear is accustomed to.
It's obvious that different cultures cultivate different approaches towards humor, drama or whatever. I found the "humor" broad, simplistic, old fashioned --terribly old fashioned-- and as direct as a third rate circus clown doing his number for the illiterate villagers.
I only watched a few minutes of the film because I found it unbearable, and only kept me in front of the screen the outstanding beauty of nature in that part of India. Fabulous landscapes! I do not mean to offend the Indian spectators that delighted on this film, I merely say that my western mentality is not prepared for this kind of humor, that's all.
