Surprise Surprise

I saw the promos and felt this is another run of the mill type of Kareena film but i was wrong

The film is a nice film though similar to A WALK IN THE CLOUDS(remade earlier as KUNWARA and DHAAI AKSHAR PREM KE)

The film is well handled by Imtiaz Ali in whose faith i saw the film

The Shahid-Kareena interactions would be boring had it not been handled well by him

The entire journey is well handled

though you get to see certain convenient situations and clichés and flaws but such films are from the heart and not the brain

The turning point is well handled and the entire Shahid trying to get Kareena back is well handled

But the sudden change of Anshuman's character plus the entire last 20 minutes do spoil the show by simply dragging the film Even Anshuman becomes a jerk suddenly

Imtiaz Ali does a great job after SNT Music is great, my favorite is TUM SE HI Camera-work is great

Shahid is a surprise, often the actor just played normal youthful films and has the tendency to overact or copy SRK but here he shows a diff side He acts subtle, effective,mature The first scene is proof of his growth Kareena too is fantastic, often known for overacting though she did a great job in some films here she shows a different side to her and she is flawless Tarun hams and irritates Pawan Malhotra gets out of his terrorist image and does a great job Dara Singh irritates
