When I saw the title (and the promos), it got me thinking. What is this movie all about? Is it some kind of a reality dance show inspired movie with rock-hard abs for the screaming female fans of Shahid Kapoor? Well, it actually is, but as you might have surmised from the picture above, the movie is not just about dancing. It is a whole lot more than that.
The movie opens with some kind of song. Even in my brief hobby as a movie reviewer, I know that is never a good sign. Quickly, the credits role and we enter the studio apartment of Sameer (Shahid Kapoor). We have a rather funny montage of his daily life, showing us, the blessed viewers that he is a struggling actor. He auditions and auditions and further auditions. Everywhere, he goes, luck is just not with him. Pretty much every time, every where he gets lucky, but some other dude with ‘influence’ gets through.
Then, the heroine enters and does something. Then the hero joins a school, and does something. Then the hero’s best friend betrays him, and that does something to the hero. Then something happens in his hometown, and his dad is in trouble, and that does something. Then, his director (the one inside the movie) gives up on him, and that does something. Then, there is this reality show, and that does something. Then he remembers his mother (rest her soul), and that does something. To sum up, I haven’t got a clue what is happening to who and why and when. All of my six senses were completely befuddled with all kind of scenes which are being added, as if, for the sake of it. I have nothing against padding, but I do have a problem, when they are not cool or awesome.
Yet, the movie does have some funny moments. Also, Shahid Kapoor can dance pretty well. For these two things, I am giving this movie the single star rating. Well, I know for sure that you should not be watching this movie. Neither should be any of your friends, even if they belong to the female gender, who went screaming every time Shahid showed up on the screen. Tell her she can scream, while watching the same movie, on DVD.
