Even though i am not a huge fan of Hindi cinema but because of the common language between us i watch their movies on and off, some of which are pretty good. This is not one of them.
It was atleast good to see that they tried to do something different, as pathethic as it is, maybe after a few more experiments they will get it right.
***Spoilers***
The movie is a stew of about 4 or 5 Hollywood movies (As many of hindi movies are) They have bits from E.T., Spiderman, Deep Impact and a couple of slapstic flicks, the names of which i cannot recall at this time.
The story is basically E.T. except that we have a brain damaged young man playing the role of The Kid in E.T. There are a lot of music and dance numbers which are not bad but whenever they tried to add something of their own to the story they have ended up making a mess.
The Physics is so bad that even some one like Rakesh Roshan must have known that a child of grade 6 would not be impressed.
I mean Instant messaging aliens from another planet via a radio broadcast. Mr Roshan, radio waves travel at the speed of light and would take 4 years to reach the nearest star.
Well........ instead of describing it's follies i would just say that if u wanna watch something other then the usual bollywood melodrama you are welcome to try it but dont keep your hopes too high, just enjoy the show.
2 1/2 out of 5 (Which includes 1 star for bravery)
