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.

Shahrukh Khan is a muslim, dont know why he didnt played Javed Bhai and Hindu actor Jackie Shroff played muslim role. Anyways, Shahrukh in whole movies keeps saying only one word- Javed Bhai, Javed bhai, i mean got it we have who this character respect, but why in every scene he has say it 5-6 times.
Javed Bhai has been portrayed as a very nice, gentlemen, who is a good job, treats everybody well and has lots of hindu friends and he also has Hindu kids at home. After all, Bollywood!
Yes, Javed Bhai has adopted Hindu kids, truly amazing imaginary scene by director, only to keep a good image. Amazed!

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!!!

Commercial films mostly try to meet everyone's demands But sometimes it leads to a hotchpotch Even though this film is better then many Srk films yet it somehow falters
The film starts off well, Jackie's Murder is a nice turning point but then the scenes shift to scenes with kids, to romance and only towards the end does Srk try to find out the real murderer
The film gets boring in between due to the mis focus The last few minutes are brilliantly handled but there are many flaws like How does Juhi land in 2 places at one time? many more too
Direction by Shashilal Nair is decent in parts Music is okay
SRK does his level best, he is very good in serious scenes and hope to see him in such roles which require him not just to cry and ham Juhi does a good job Amongst rest Nirmal Pandey overacts so badly that you feel like killing him, Raj Jhutsi too overacts The kids are okay Jackie Shroff is alright in a cameo

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.
