Great Film overall

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

No story, Nothing to gain from this movie. Farah Khan could be given a worst director award for this movie.

They tried to be funny but they failed in every way possible. Honestly one of the worst movies i have ever watched. I wasn't expecting much from it but i also wasn't expecting that less. This movie gives Bollywood a bad name. For a comedy movie all i could feel was disappointment and not a single laugh. The action scene didn't help either. The Story was so boring i almost fell asleep half way through. It made no sense. And the acting was just too much. I can't believe actors like Katrina & Akshay Kumar agreed to work in this movie. A big fat flop for Director Farah Khan who actually directed some good films like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om.

After having read negative reviews about this movie and seeing it in the bottom 100 list on IMDb, I decided to try out this movie. Obviously, it wasn't worth spending even a single cent on a movie that has Akshay Kumar as the main lead and is trashed universally. I was lucky enough to be able to borrow this movie from the public library.The movie sets its low standards right from the opening credits - a dancing foetus in scenes that are just a rip-off from opening credits of Bond movies. The movie just keeps trying to fathom the abyss of movie making and never tries to redeem itself. Reminds me of what late Roger Ebert wrote about "Freddy Got Fingered" - "This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels." There is nothing in this movie that is worth mentioning - because this movie lacks anything that has semblance to the art of movie making - acting / story / direction / dialogues. This movie does not even fall in the category "so bad it is good". The movie is just based on the recent Bollywood premise that if you hire popular actors, spend money on promotion and promote it as a "brainless entertainer", there is a certain demographic that will flock to theatre to spend their (or their parent's) hard earned money. It is just like flipping a coin - some movies end as winners, some end being losers. Equally disappointing is the fact that movies that were released after "Tees Maar Khan" have followed this formula and have earned big bucks.I do not have any admiration for Akshay Kumar's acting skills since I saw "Deedar" in theatres 20 years ago. And after 20 years, his wooden face and expressions haven't changed a bit. To expect any acting from Katrina would be akin to expect that mortal can create miracles and cure human beings. But what is painful is to see talented actors like Anjan Shrivastav, Sudhir Pandey or Apara Mehta in roles that are an insult to their acting talents. And somehwere along the lines I have a suspicion that this movie, although credits Farah Khan as director, is ghost directed by her hubby, Shirish Kunder (who has four or five other credits to his name in this movie). Farah has done a decent job in "Om Shanti Om".I have given one star only because a)IMDb does not allow negative star ranking b) you can see Farah's choreography skills in the "Sheela" song.

I'm kind of astonished by all the harsh reviews of this one... I found it pretty entertaining, albeit in a very silly way. I think the only way to approach a movie like this one is to realize right from the beginning that ordinary rules of logic are not going to apply, and stop expecting things to be remotely realistic or plausible, because they're not going to be. It's a deliberately ridiculous, over-the-top, screwball comedy, and if you expect any sort of realism or logic from it, then yes, you're going to be disappointed. It seems like some of the other reviewers were expecting something a little more serious and sensible, and I could certainly see how this film could be jarring if that's what you're after.But if you're just looking for something campy and fun, and are prepared to completely suspend disbelief, then it's definitely worth watching!
