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 2 Ka Four is not that bad. But it's a disappointment from a director of Shashilal Nair's caliber. The only highlight of this film was the pairing of SRK and Juhi Chawla. Shahrukh Khan seemed lost in a somewhat unconventional script that demanded a lot of histrionics and yelling and screaming. Juhi Chawla was believable as the bubbly, fun loving girl-next- door but fails to leave a mark as an intelligent undercover cop. This is one of her many films where she gets to display her comic skills and she does it surprisingly well. The story of One 2 Ka Four resembles the story of One Good Cop. And this is quite sad that an intelligent filmmaker like Nair would resort to ripping out a B grade Hollywood thriller. Jackie Shroff in a small role looks jaded and is quickly forgotten after the intermission. Nirmal Pandey cannot act, that is quite apparent. Raj Zutsi looks bland. Overall, it's a below average flick!
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.
This is a must watch movie of srk. There are lot of twist in this movie. This movie show us the value of love.there are lots of comedy and emotions. It make this movie awsome. First half was not bad but second half amazing. The reason why I gave this movie 8/10 rating is because this movie have everything like romance, action, comedy and emotions. This make the movie wonderful.srk acting was awsome. If they make some changes I will give 10/10 rating. In my opinion these is the one of the best movie of srk . I really enjoyed it while watching this movie. The story of the movie was amazing.......
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!!!
