I had been put off watching this film by reports of how badly it flopped at the box office so I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It is difficult to contain this film in a particular category as there are several layers to it, including comedy, romance, political intrigue and patriotism. Infact the patriotism comes through so powerfully that even I, as a non Indian, was feeling strongly patriotic. On the downside this film has to contain one of the poorest songs I have ever heard - I am the best - it is very unimaginative, repetitive, chronic but SRK's Elvis impression during the song does help to ease the pain slightly. Also it does get a bit bogged down around the middle with the political angle but only briefly. What stood out the most for me though was the energy that was transmitted onto screen of how much love this film was made with between the 3 producers. You can tell how much fun they had making it which makes you smile even if the actual content doesn't.
A good story. It shows the public that when one is honest the others should help and how Sharuk got the help of the village to free an innocent man who was put on death parol when he had the evidence on camera. Good songs.
