Great family movie.
I was not so sure on how well the director could handle a comedy ( He is not exactly known for that!), BUT 10 minutes into the show and all my doubts were dispelled! This is a superb comedy, and you should watch it for Arshad Warsi's acting. Great family movie.
Soon to be made by Hollywood starring Chris Tucker from the 'Rush Hour' movies. -

Good in parts, average in others
Having heard good things about the film, I was quite keen to see it.
There are some good comedy moments but this is classic Hindi fare in lots of ways. The film is a bit overlong and in typical Bollywood style lays it on a bit too thickly when it comes to the emotional scenes. I watch only a few Hindi films a year and had been led to believe that they were getting a tad less OTT but it appears, at least here, that that is not the case.
The old themes of respecting your parents and keeping them happy are over-elaborate and unneccsarily melodramatic.
There are the makings of an excellent comedy here but this does not quite get it right. It will be fascinating to see what Hollywood does with this premise.
The guy playing Circuit is amusing. The dean's vendetta is not quite credible. Sunjay Dutt's performance is laudable and Gracie Singh has that appealing girl next door look but the scenes where Munna is described as God are hard to swallow. Plus this over-emphasis on hugs as a cure and the overlong upbraiding of the dean by his daughter and the miraculous recovery of a persistent vegetative patient are predictable and dull. Again, typical Bollywood.
In conclusion, something good if you approach it as brainless escapism and leave your reasoning behind, i.e. tremendous suspension of disbelief. Seen better, seen far worse. -
