The director has come up with a unusual storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was quite absorbing. The dialogues were well written. The script was above average and the screenplay made it lot better. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was the main strength to this film. Editing was crisp. Costumes were well designed to suit the backdrop while the art department was majestic. Aamir Khan has given a stellar performance and he stole the show, easily one of his career bests. Anushka Sharma was competent and did her best. Sanjay Dutt was superb. Saurabh Shukla and Boman Irani were not used to their fullest. Sushant Singh was effective. Others did their bit as required and added value.
The basic crux of the plot is quite interesting and it was a take on few beliefs of our society that have existed since centuries. While it has been blended with some satire, some humor and some emotion, there was some slack in energy. The first half goes about with elements of comedy, some interesting moments and the interval bang was interesting. The second half slows down a bit and takes the fizz away but it has its own share of bright moments, but predictability seeps in . Overall, this film seems to have an Oh My God, hangover as its story is quite similar. This is probably one of RKH weakest films, but thats saying a lot because the film is still great. Expectations where high and the films 1st half meet those expectations the film seemed humorous and pathbreaking, but the 2nd half syndrome does sep in. But still this film is a must watch for the films overall, message against how religious and some society norms are ridiculous, and for aamir's performance.
3.5/5* or 7/10
