Decent movie but go with "right" expectations!

Rating: 6/10 (25 October 2014)

As another Farah Khan/Shah Rukh Khan blockbuster comes out, as usual it tends to polarizes the audiences. But my opinion is that each director has a speciality and after having watched this movie, nothing surprised me. It was exactly what I expected based on Farah Khan's track record and also 'enough' was out in the promos for me to be prepared for as to what exactly I was walking into. A heist story based around a music competition. Shah Rukh Khan leads a bunch of no-hopers into this and how they juggle between the dance competition and the diamond heist forms the crux of the story. As Farah Khan movies usually span out, it moves along the expected lines of funny moments, decent song sequences and over the top finale! The music is good. Obviously "India Waale" song is the chartbuster of the movie but my pick would be Deepika's introduction in "Lovely Ho Gayi". She has danced admirably and looked million bucks. Acting from everyone is fine. Overall, a decent family entertainer and just exactly the kind of movie Farah Khan makes. So, enjoy and get entertained. And stop whinging about why this movie doesn't stimulate your grey matter (look for other options for that but please don't walk into this movie looking for exactly that). It delivers what it promised! But I must add that perhaps it is time again for Shah Rukh Khan to take some "risks" for his future projects.
