An age old formulae

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2008)

The movie had basically four characters Mr. Surinder Singh Sahni (Sharukh Khan), Mrs. Tani Sahni (Anushka Sharma), Bobby (Vinay Pathak) and the fourth a very complex and a fictitious character Raj (The 'MACHO' Sharukh). In it Mr. Sahni has been shown as a typical medical class man wearing loose shirts and pants along with sports shoes (I don't understand from whom was the director inspired), and driving a bajaj scooter. Mrs. Sahni a chulbuli girl from Amritsar who marries Mr. Sahni because of her father but doesn't accept him as her husband. The story till now looks very simple and is continuing from retro ages of bollywood, but this is when the movie takes a new turn and Mr. Sahni is turned into Raj (Simply by removing moustache and applying hair gel) by Bobby to impress and make her wife fall in love for him and guess what bobby is successful; Mrs. Sahni is not able to recognize Mr. Sahni as he is Raj. The very concept of the movie was so obscure that I had to run out of the theatre 15 minutes prior to the ending even being an engineering student who can watch anything and everything. Raj impresses his wife but when she falls in love for him, he said no Raj has to die and she has to love Mr. Sahni (his Alter ego). Simply because the director wanted the movie to continue for three hours otherwise the movie would have ended in half the time. Second half is just the recap of 1st half with a summary in the end shown as a dream of Anushka. It's so boring and repetitive that in no case u can rate it above 6/10 (6 because of nice songs and actors (Sharukh, Anushka (she looked cute in the movie) and Vinay Pathak).
