What We are Watching

Dr Sameer (Salman Khan), afraid of committing long-term to his lady loves, falls for patient Sonia (Katrina Kaif) who wants him to divorce stand-in wife Naina (Sushmita Sen). Sameer is on red alert with Pyaare (Sohail Khan), Sonia?s neighbour, also in the fray.

A hotch-potch remix of his old comedies like Biwi No. 1 and Deewana Mastana, director David Dhawan tries to cover his inane and oft-repeated situations with bust lines and biceps, forcing belly laughter at best.

Barely okay in parts, Salman looks straight out of his CBI question-answer session in most of the reels ? just not there. He needs a loud wake-up call (tring, tring...).

Loud sounds soft when it comes to character actors like Rajpal Yadav and Beena Kak. An in-film advertisement of Saridon would have been more fitting than the Vikram Phadnis showcase.

Katrina looks fresh out of the sea waters and watching her move to Just chill is, as they say, totaaaal paisa vasool.

Rather than flexing his muscles and threatening to make a keema out of his enemies in every other movie, Sohail looks more at home playing the cheeky chhokra.

First weekend watch: 95% at INOX (Forum), 90% at INOX (City Centre), 88% at 89 Cinemas (Swabhumi)

Last word: Stay back home and turn on the Salman-Ash tapes on the small screen. It?s more entertaining and definitely has more of a plot.
