As an European I rarely watch any Bollywood flicks. This one was appraised by many as the best movie of the year (including only bollywood movies I guess). I found it to be average. I have seen a few Bollywood productions and this one had by far the most coherent plot and cultural differences did not make me feel like I was watching something from another planet which is the case most of the time with Indian pieces. If rated against other local productions Id give it 8.5 stars, if against western flicks I could be generous and score it 7. Looking something with a bollywood twist that is still watchable? Try this. Cultural differences can be amusing. Could not get over how the actors amusingly wiggle their heads around while talking. But if you are looking for an experience that compares to some of the top 250 on IMDb, that this is surely not.
