After Rang de Basanti, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra tries to make another movie o n a similar track, showing good and bad about Indian but hecompletely loses the plot as he attempts to weave together multiple narratives that you hope will ties togahter nicely in the end but this leaves us wondering What Just Happened :(
Roshan Mehra (Abhishek Bachchan) coming to India, though this time not to fetch his nanny, but to get his granny (Waheeda Rehman) to Delhi gullies where she wants to spend the final phase of her life.
In the bylanes of Chandni Chowk in old Delhi, Roshan is introduced to customs and relations alien to him.
Muddled up between the liking for his land and Bittu (Sonam Kapoor), the movie progresses as monkey man gives ways to discuss social and political issues like the Hindu-Muslim and upper-lower class divide.
In the middle, the movie start getting messy and the monkey-man track doesn’t help connecting the individual installments and rather works only on peripheral level. However, it resolves all above conflicts in a single-stroke climax.
Deepak Dobriyal, Atul Kulkarni, Vijay Raaz, Pawan Malhotra and Om Puri have performed true justice to the roles their roles.
Rishi Kapoor & Divya Dutta have done well, but their characters too short-lived.
Waheeda Rehman's performance is dull and not up to the mark.
The soundtrack is brilliant. But three songs play almost back-to-back; Arziyan is shot to Rishi Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan playing pool. Bachchan and Kapoor have only one song together--he walks through a door to emerge at Times Square along with the cycle rickshaws and jalebiwalas in dream sequence Dil Gira.
Rahman's Masakali music has already become a chartbuster!!
Overall the movie is colourless and bore in comparision with RDB!
