After watching duds like Salaam-e-ishq, I went to this movie with very low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. A respectable storyline, very bankable stars who do justice to their roles and some very hummable music made this movie a lot of fun.
The movie relies on some very blatant clichés like the very biased views of how foreigners regard India and Asians, but you tend to forgive the director by the end of the movie. I have always thought Akshay Kumar to be one of the most entertaining actors in the industry and he proves it here again, though he very weird with his auburn hair. There are no surprises in the movie and the script religiously follows the standard formula. The only surprise for me was how much I enjoyed it even though I knew exactly what was going to happen.
The supporting cast is a lot of fun too. Rishi Kapoor should definitely be tapped more often for comedic roles. All in all by the end, when Akshay Kumar sets the world right and all Indians are proud of their heritage, you are happy you came to the movie.
