    This was enjoyable. But some part was boring. Not bad though.

    Decent performances but some of the lengths that the two main characters go to really diminish the sympathy you feel towards them and it hurts the picture, The actress playing Sam's mother is a riot though.

    I don't generally watch Bollywood, but this was a lot of fun! Very amusing; you can't take it too seriously.

    Here is a hilarious movie that centralizes around three roommates living in an upscale apartment in Miami. They are Sameer, Kunal, and Neha. The three become inseparable, and do just about everything together. Neha and her aunt search for female roommates to occupy the remaining ... read moretwo rooms, when they meet Sameer and Kunal who are in dire need of a new place to live. When they are refused to be seen and interviewed, they decide to come back and enact as a gay couple. Believing them to be a couple, Neha and her aunt decide to accept them. With the process of filing their residency, an unruly mother, and having to carry on their charade- it keeps Sameer and Kunal on their toes until the two realize that they both are in love with Neha, but are up against another whose also captured Neha?s heart. Tons of laughter! Fantastic music. Great cast-Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra, Bobby Deol, Shilpa Shetty, and Kiron Kher.

    Wasn't as good as I was told it would be. I think what carried me through was how enchanted I was by Priyanka, and yes, John Abraham's bod. But anyways, the "twists?" were just weak and unfortunately, so was the script. Songs weren't bad though.

    There was nothing lacking in this movie. It was funny, it was engaging, it had a great score and some wonderful actors/actresses.

    This movie (to me) felt like a "I Now Prounounce You Chuck and Larry" Bollywood version... except it was sexy... and actually funny... and ha... read mored a plot...

    I would recommend this movie to anyone!

  • December 1, 2008
    Despite one or two funny bits the film as a whole disappoints: for one thing, the gay-theme has been (over)done to death and after the first twenty minutes or so tends to get really tiresome; two, the plot keeps going around in circles without really getting anywhere. Best to avo... read moreid this one.

By turns exuberant and goofy and mushy and yearning. Full Review

Cross I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry with the all-but forgotten 1970s farce The Gay Deceivers, then dress it up with elaborate musical sequences: Et voila! Full Review

Big, colorful, delightfully dumb Bollywood "gateway" movie could be a perfect crossover vehicle for U.S. audiences. Full Review

David Chute, L.A. Weekly

A pure star vehicle, gliding along on charm and timing -- exactly the sort of comfort cinema Hollywood now seems incapable of making. Full Review
