Yeah I know, this had the potential to be Hotel Rwanda. But let’s not quibble much; for now, this will do—a very, very watchable Bollywood film.

I was quite satisfied while making a move from the theatre. Yeah, this totally works, for the time it lasts! Can’t quite ask for more.

You only have to see some of the local work happening on the Internet (TVF’s Pitchers, YRF’s Man’s World etc.) to know what I’m talking about. Like this film, they’re fun, relatable, and so well written.

Is this also misogynistic? Hell yeah. But it’s comedy.

It’s the kind of film that makes you discuss a lot—as you can tell! I will watch it on TV again. As you must watch it in the theatre,once, for sure.

The authenticity in the writing (Himanshu Sharma) is perhaps the reason practically all the actors in the film (most notably Deepak Dobriyal) leave a mark. The wit and repartee is absolutely top class.

Is this film about post-marriage issues a mainstream escapist fantasy still? Oh yes. It’s a complete mad-cap, rom-com romp. Manu starts off being diagnosed as clinically insane.

More than anything else this comedy got me slightly emotional thinking about how distracted we get by life in general that we often begin to take our old folks—parents, grand parents—for granted. We get far too edgy and impatient sometimes dealing with their old-age idiosyncrasies. God knows, at some point, they will be no more. And we will miss them forever…

The stories eventually boil down to common emotions. As does this film’s. Yes, there is a lot of pathos. But there is much joy. And enough empathy. By the end of it you want to go get a margarita with Laila. How does it matter if she drinks it with a straw? She’s just as much fun. Yes, so is this picture.

Popular entertainment, or a lively, mass-oriented film such as this, is perhaps our most potent counter to a frightening intolerance. That fact alone makes this a very important and brave film. I suggest you head to the ticket counter for sure.

While this one also gives off the feel of a horror flick, it is essentially a thriller. The number of coincidences in a plot is obviously inversely proportional to how credible the story seems. There are quite a few coincidences here, and an equal number of moments where some suspension of disbelief is a must.

This is a particularly poorly promoted picture, so I am not sure how well it may pack theatres. Fat chance. But talking of technology, this is just the kind of cinema that surely gets a second wind, sometimes even many years later, on DVD, YouTube, or through downloads in the Internet. I don’t think you should wait that long.
