Very mixed feelings on this film

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 2009)

I have to admit I am unsure about this film. After a sweet opening thirty minutes with the geeky and shy Suri (SRK), the film suffers after Suri dresses and acts outrageously as the irritating Raj simply so that he can catch a glimpse of his wife dancing at the local dance competition. Raj is very annoying, and Shahrukh is plainly to old to pull off this role. Much of the mid-section invites audience boredom, as they wonder why the husband would do something so bizarre. Some critics have claimed that the Raj character is an open attack on Bollywood romantic heroes. Indeed, this may be true, but it still isn't very interesting to watch as the balance of the film is ruined.
Thank heavens, the film sets itself right in the end with a sweet climax and ends with a charming voice-over by King Khan over the credits.
Overall 5/10
