Dull and dated.

I don't know if the antique style of filming this was deliberate or incidental, but it certainly was irritating. It was also extremely sexist. The very worst thing about it was the fake laughing - it was SO annoying! I loathed Raja - he might have looked OK, especially when he grew a beard (why is it the heroes only look masculine and handsome when miserable, then emasculate themselves when happier by shaving their beard and cutting their hair and make themselves look wimpy and immature again?) but he was a real knuckles grazing the ground neanderthal. Anyone who starts mercilessly beating up blokes just because they made a comment about a girl he wasn't even going out with should set alarm bells ringing with any intelligent female. I would have got far away from him straight away. Raja was proud, rude, selfish and stupid. The fights with the poor baby on his back were alarming too, some of them really had that poor little kid strapped to him! You cannot approve of any man who steals a young nursing baby from his mother either, stupid idiot! The other characters were over the top too, the cross-dressers and the camp etc. Even the sensible female body-guard gave up her practical clothes to wear an impractical sari as the over-loud male idiot who fell for her wanted her to look like a woman - yuk yuk yuk!
This film was so irritating I could only watch it in short bits, over several days - and I would not recommend it unless you are really bored on a wet afternoon, recovering from flu. It might annoy you enough to forget you are sick.
