I am not only a Bollywood fan but also a Yash Raj Films(the makers of this film) fan which is probably why I did not enjoy the film as much as most. It was a rehash of so many of their past hit films films like 'Salaam Namaste', 'Dhoom II', 'Bunty aur Babli', 'Rocket Singh' and 'Ta Ra Rum Pum'(which wasn't a hit but you get the point) just to mention a few (that I saw scene for scene similarities in).
Let's not get into the historical and location inaccuracies because that might just make me so ticked off that I would drop one more star from the rating. The cast was excellent but the script was weak, tired and old.
It was supposedly set in the 1990s but the cast members were sporting all the 21st century latest fashion and gadgets. A place that is supposedly in New York City has a Laudromat with a sign that says 'Philly Laundry', the friends arrive in New York City and are heading to Queens via the Brooklyn Bridge (when the only two NYC area airports are situated in Queens) even if you arrived in Newark, New Jersey the fastest and most logical way into New York City is via the Verrazano Bridge. In a house that is supposedly in New York City has Palm trees. The accents of the supposed New Yorkers, The Michael Jackson concert, I could go on and on about what went wrong with this film. It could have been so much better.
