Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
mg-gopalan Three Mahesh Jaitlys are found in the telephone directory. While welding some parts of a bridge Peter (OP Ralhan) overhears a man saying to a woman, while holding hands "soon you will be Mrs Mahesh Jaitly. I have devised a good plan to kill Mrs Jaitley and you will soon be the new Mrs. Mahesh Jaitly". This takes Peter, his fiancée and foster mother on a suspenseful journey of participation in the lives of the three Mahesh Jaitly couples. The denouement begins when Peter, in an attempt to uncover the real (potential) killer traps one of the Maheses (Kabir Bedi)into a murder deal. For lovers of Hindustani cinema, this is highly recommended. The thought one is left with is, what does a good citizen do when s/he hears or sees some potential criminal activity.
