One 2 Ka 4

One Two Ka Four starts out as a rather unoriginal, Hollywood inspired buddy-cop picture, but is saved from being totally mundane by the performances of its stars, and a couple of nice story twists. Just don't think too hard about the plot, or you might fall through some of the gigantic holes. Shah Rukh Khan is perfect as a kid-hating, shoot-first-ask-questions-later cop, and Jackie Shroff is excellent (as always) as his older partner. Juhi Chawla provides most of the comedy with her character.

Just when I started getting bored with the cliche'd Hollywood-style action, the story turned into a neat little family drama, with Shah Rukh and Juhi playing nursemaid to a bunch of bratty kids. I thought it was entertaining and charming.

The A.R. Rahman music is trite in places, but features some really outstanding numbers, too, especially the comic "I'm Sorry" number with SRK and Juhi and the kids, and the lovely and romantic "Sona Nahi Nah Sahi."

This isn't a great film, it's true, but it entertained me for two and a half hours. I can't ask for more than that!

One two ka four is quite simply the most atrocious,hacknyed,and forgettable film i have ever seen.First of all,not only does this film heavily "borrow" from other western films,it displays absolutely no originality.This film was sheepishly contstructed,and obviously very little time and effort was put into this project.Anyone can easily find errors in continuity and realism. One need look no further than the opening action scene as an example,where a criminal who is dead,is shown in one shot to have his hands on his chest,and in another angle shot, rest his hands on the ground! This just scratches the surface of all the improbabilities of this film.The script is a hash of cliches and fails miserabley to develop any of the one-dimensional characters. The villian "KKV" deserves particular recognition for poor acting,as he is far too cartoonish and unbelievable. The music just seems odd and always out of place. Overall,even by Indian standards,One two ka four is a very poorly made film. For anyone who has seen the film,this thought should be amusing for you: what would happen if a film like one two ka four was made in Hollywood?

Shashilal Nair's 'One 2 Ka 4' was a very enjoyable movie for me. It is an action-packed comedy-drama, and somehow reminded me of the 1993 movie 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke'. Here too Juhi Chawla is the governess of children who are under the hero's custody though they are not his children. The movie was mainly watchable because of the leading stars, Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla. They really rock together as was evidenced in previous projects like 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman', 'Darr' and 'Yes Boss'. They are very comfortable working together and it is very obvious. Shahrukh Khan is fantastic here. He is a great action star, though he is better known for his romantic roles. Here he is completely restrained and serious as the tough policeman, a role we don't see him playing that often. But the one who completely blew me away is Juhi. A gifted comedienne, she is absolutely charming and hilarious in a comic role which seems to be tailor-made for her. This is one of her most entertaining performances. The kids are quite good. Jackie Shroff is there for something like half-an-hour and he's okay. Towards the end the story gets a bit confusing and it is very easy to lose interest in the film mainly due to its lack of focus. However, there are some things to be said in its favour: unlike most Hindi films we use to watch and like, this one is neither melodramatic nor overly emotional. The narrative style, which is surprisingly a bit dark and dim, is very effective and special, and A.R. Rahman's music is nice as well. 'One 2 Ka 4' is not a great film, but it is a good entertainer and you definitely can watch it for the rather interesting story and particularly for the actors.

One 2 Ka 4 is an awesome movie! It has everything one could ask for... action, comedy, romance; One 2 Ka 4 has it all! Juhi was so funny throughout the entire movie, especially in the beginning like when she accidentally sticks a fork into Shahrukh's hand, it left me laughing like crazy! Juhi did an excellent job playing her role. It amazed me how she "transformed" from an over talkative Punjabi girl, to club dancer to an undercover cop! Even Shahrukh shined throughout the film!

As for the songs, I'd have to say One 2 Ka 4 has a very interesting soundtrack. This film offers a wide variety of music ranging from a romantic number like "Sona Nahi Na Sahi" to a catchy dance number like "Osaka Muraiya." One 2 Ka 4's soundtrack is beyond amazing!

I really wonder why critics considered One 2 Ka 4 a "flop" and put it down so much? I think One 2 Ka 4 is a totally cool movie and far from being boring!

Overall, One 2 Ka 4 deserves a 10/10!!!

Pretty much every movie critic has ripped this film apart and called it "highly avoidable." I, on the other hand refute all of them. Why? The answer is simple. I paid $8 to watch this movie, and never during the 3 hour span of the film was I ever bored. It entertained me for every second of those 3 hours that I watched it. It should be obvious that this is not meant to be some serious, thought-provoking classic. It is meant solely to entertain. And as part of Indian cinema, extensive hybridization of a film is absolutely necessary to entertain an undifferentiated audience, which this film has the capability of doing. It has action when needed (although the scenes are flicked right out of John Woo's "Face Off"), it has some great comedy through a fabulous performance by Juhi Chawla, and some wonderful music and a kickass background score by A.R. Rahman. Shahrukh and Jackie are very competent in their roles. The movie is pure escapism and to provide that, the director Shashilal Nair does a decent job. It is extremely surprising why this film flopped and why critics took the film so seriously and denounced it completely. I mean come on, cut the entertainers some slack and enjoy the movie. Not every movie you critics watch absolutely HAS to be a work of art. Just take it in as what it is. Free your mind a little.
