Even though Khirron Kher was "meri filmy maa" for a second straight movie, she did add something just as Boman did. The movie is entertaining, I don't want to take that away. Truth is that the last number of the movie should have been in the opening credits and Shilpa should have been in the closing credits as an added goody. I'd love to have that shot of Shilpa reclining on the motorcycle as my wallpaper. How can anyone truly appreciate her physique or dancing when they've already seen Shilpa. As a second example, you put Shilpa in a dance number in the opening credits. He would have been more effective introduced first. He's older, he has less acting talent, etc, etc. As male cast members go, that is what I would consider a huge anticlimax. E.g, you parade around Junior and John in practically nothing, then somewhere in the middle, Bobby Deol shows up. I think the director created anti-climaxes. He's been the only good thing in several movies I've seen in the past. This guy is near the top of my supporting-performer list. I would rate this movie lower without Boman. When he appeared as the editor-in-chief of Verve, it actually was a surprise to me. Strangely, the cast member who appealed to me most was Boman Irani. In my opinion, Bobby is such a stiff customer that before he can overact, he first has to act, and I'm still waiting to see that. In fact, I'd say everyone in the cast overacted, except Bobby Deol. And some of the jokes were kind of out there. The screenplay really pushed the two to extremes. My sense was that they were startled at the things J&J were willing to do to get a laugh. It isn't every Hindi comedy that can achieve that.

When I was in the theater, the crowd was not large, but they were laughing practically nonstop. Frankly, the chance to see J&J pretending to be gay didn't pique my curiosity at all. And then I learned that Shilpa Shetty was doing an item number and, for me, the deal was sealed. The video I saw of John and Junior polkaing around the room wasn't that effective, but the video of Priyanka in the golden bathing suit said "must see" to me. The prerelease publicity has been pretty good.
