There are no words to describe how bad this film is. I didn't believe the reviews and I didn't take people's advice not to watch it; I wish I had. In the first hour, the film barely elicited one chuckle-- the jokes are lame, some- directed at South Indians, gays, mentally disturbed people- are downright offensive and because the delivery is so bad, they almost can't be taken in jest. Jokes about the Holocaust may go un-noticed in India but are beyond the pale in most Western countries and someone of Saif Ali Khan's cultured background should have known better. The "let's shoot item numbers around famous London monuments" grates after a while and some of the choreography seems to be handled by a 7 year old. How this film even got made is a mystery given Saif Ali Khan has been responsible for some decent fare in the past. A terrible film and surely a career low for all involved.
