a highly entertaining piece of celluloid

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2006)

a big thumbs up for this film,firstly if my two little kids can stay quiet for a duration of a film that is definitely a plus sign.getting back to the film,this is definitely the best thing to have come out of bollywood for some time, it is both funny and emotionally charged, the apparent religious divide between hindus and muslims is delt with a deft hand, and never once does it overshadow the film. our main characters are ones i can identify with, fun and jovial, never serious about anything and no causes that will lure them out of their apparent apathy,even the task they undertake is done for amusement but they are plunged into a situation that they themselves find difficult to walk away from and it is that when the film takes on a more of a serious nature,amir khan and his supporting cast lend to fine performances, the storyline is clever how the project they undertake eventually mirrors they're own determination to do what is right - whatever the cost.it is a film about a positive attitude that had me saying i would surely have been jolted out of my apathy.
