Surprisingly funny until you find out it&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0611531\/\" title=\"IMDB profile\">Hrishikesh Mukherjee<\/a>, and it isn&#8217;t such a big surprise any more.<\/p>\n<p>It stars Mehmood, amongst others, but if you are looking for any slapstick stuff, you&#8217;ll be in for a disappointment &#8211; if you haven&#8217;t guessed that already considering the director.

I had made plans to go Wednesday night, but &#8220;inertia&#8221; got the better of me (what else is new) and decided to order-in instead. Anyways, glad I went today because, between glimpses of Delhi, the Punjabi <i>accent-shackcent<\/i>, decent story-line, some excellent performances and that weird(ly nice?)-sounding, beautiful woman, I really liked the movie. I could also relate to the father-son relationship portrayal &#8211; watch the movie and you&#8217;ll know what I mean.
