    Rib-tickling comedy with thrill !!

    This has to be the best comedy movie of SRK till date! Abbas-Mustan created a comic film ahead of its time, may be this was the reason why film didn't do well in theaters after release. Anyway, I love watching this movie on television whenever possible and it has fair audience viewership on TV. It's one of this movies like Andaz Apna Apna which didn't do well at release but rocks the Television screen till date. Except for few glitches and songs, the film is one of best comic movies from 90's. SRK has played the comic-detective character bang on! And almost all the co-stars have played their roles to perfection. Especially the Johnny Lever and gang. Twinkle looks hot and beautiful. The film also has a logical story flow, of course you may find some illogical comedy but that's accepted in a comic film. The film successfully touches the elements of humor, thrill and bit of romance. Recommend you to watch this movies with you friends, you are sure to get some laughter riot.

    That's how I started following Shahrukh Khan

    This was the first movie which makes me fall in love with Shahrukh Khan in my childhood. I was not a huge fan of romantic movies at that time and never seen Shahrukh.. this was the first instance where I found him genuinely an entertaining, not only because of him but the plot and screenplay of this movie was fantastic and I still enjoy watching this movie on tv even in 2022..

    A Fantastic Film.

    I love watching this movie because it's just so funny. Sharukh Khan was fantastic in the film and so was Jhonny Lever.My favourite part in the film is when Sharukh Khan lies to Twinkle Khanna about being blind and Sharukh Khan and Jhonny Lever and they partners pretend that Sharukh Khans house is the hospital.I also enjoyed the fighting parts because it was well put together. Sharukh Khan was good at playing the Baadshah and the comedian. Sharukh Khan and Twinkle Khanna were good working together.Shahrukh Khan is a detective and while he is doing his detective work he falls in love with Twinkle Khanna. Amrish Puri was a good villain in this film as he is in nearly all of his villain movies.
