I went with zero expectations and it turned out worse! I couldn't believe the kind of BS I was subjecting myself to for what seemed an eternity in the unending SRK monologue. Predictably, the only people who found SRK's performance half-decent were people who have not seen either Rainman or Forrest Gump. If you aren't Salman, Katrina's poster would do, right?

Karan Johar is now a victim of the same condition that afflicted Sooraj Barjatya. Anachronism. He's stuck in the mid 90's style of treating movies. I can't believe MNIK was even funded (of course it's a home production) in the times of Kaminey, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye or Dev D. What utter and complete nonsense in the name of creativity and again how on earth did I pay for such absolute crap to be dished out!

And what is Karan Johar's obsession with using America as the backdrop for his movies?? It seems to me that he cannot identify his metrosexual self with the straight Indian moviegoer and hence caters to probably a more accommodating NRI audience. As a result Karan has fallen into the deep chasm that exists between perspectives of Indians and the non-resident Indians in the US.

It's a shame if MNIK is treated abroad as the Indian film representative of the times. For people interested in the state of the art Indian movies, please pick up any movie that stars Abhay Deol in it. I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed.
