Thank you Shahrukh for finally managing to give your first good film in the last 6 years and only the second one - which is Yes Boss - in the last 9 years.

Main Hoon Naa is a beautiful homage to Bollywood masala and Manmohan Desai must be smiling from the skies. Farah Khan's love for the movies is evident in every frame. And equally visible is producer Shahrukh's love and belief in Farah as a director.

Abbas Tyrewala's involvement in the script keeps the film zany, tight and crisp. Zayed Khan does a very apt job in his role and is a revelation as compared to his debut Chura Liya Hai Tumne. Amrita Rao, though effective is not as impressive as she was in Ishq Vishk and Masti. Shahrukh turns in a very restrained performance (thank you so much) and Sunil Shetty is also well cast.

But the biggest impression is definitely by Madame Sushmita for her amazingly gorgeous and everlasting screen presence. Her body language and her chemistry with Shahrukh just light up the screen. You can tell she had a blast doing this film. And those saris!!!

Anu Malik's music and the production values are fantastic. Javed Akhtar needs a major vocabulary overhaul though before he ends up as the next Sameer.

Farah Khan has definitely borrowed bits and pieces of a dozen other soucres as inspiration - Panchamda, John Woo, Matrix, Manmohan Desai, Chopras, Johars to name a few. But they have definitely not been imitated or added for "extra effect" and in no way do they reflect a lack of creativity. It is her affection and adoration of these and other facets and genres of cinema as a medium of impacting the human condition that come through in Main Hoon Naa.

My message to women looking to expose talent instead of flesh, and behind instead of in front of the camera: FARAH HAI NAA. 8/10.
