A Bollywood Jumble. In fact, a real mess!

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2017)

I am shocked, dismayed, disappointed, etc. that this movie is somehow rated as high on these pages as it is. It starts out as a comedy, crosses over into serious tragedy (the partition), spends time as a rom-com (romantic-comedy), is definitely a beefcake vehicle for its star (Akhtar) and his muscular torso, and adds a pro-India, anti-Pakistan polemic into the mix. Oh, did I forget to mention the Australian "Sheilas"" This is like 9 different movies spliced into 1 long reel. It's got everything except Nazis, polar bears, and aliens from another planet. And long; oh my god it's long.
If this is the best that Indian film makers can do, they had better not give up their day jobs. But pleasedon't go into Information Technology. I have enough trouble with computers.
