A story of a boy loves girl, girl loves boy, with a few complications thrown in, in the backdrop of a parody of our lovy dovy bollywood flicks. A terribly predictable love triangle where the hero and heroine, after two and a half hours, realise they can't live without each other - a realisation that comes in every hindi film.
The screenplay is a drag, but traces of our candyfloss celluloid - DDLJ, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Chahta Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum, Mohabbatein, Devdas, Sawariya (Am I missing anything?) -- fill up for it. The film is as musical as a DDLJ or a DTPH, with mostly all songs in the second half. But they are nonetheless, a respite, from the sluggish-in-bits-and-parts film.
For the first sixty minutes, Imran can't get over the fact that love stories are bull*, for the next, he can't get over the fact that he's fallen for the same bull*.

I never quiet liked Imran but he's a surprise package in this one. An absolute delight! He has superb timings and has done some great comedy along with his fatty sidekick (can't recall his name). He's adorable in every frame. (loved his shirts). He looks hot in the song Sadka, shot in New Zealand. [I particularly noticed him in the song Ihls...., where I thought he was a lil awkward, prolly shy (*_*) holding girls (*_-)] Sonam too looks petite and pretty. Both make a cute pair and have played their bits well (save a few scenes). Chocolate boy Sameer Dattani (the third angle in the love triangle) did his part well, in his fugly ;) shirts.
It's difficult to rate a film above average (* * 1/2 stars for this one) when everything's great except a strong script ;)
