The reason why the movie didn't work like other Akshay Kumars flick is because, Priyadarshan called this movie a funny flick. The movie is pretty serious and deals with the corruption in India.
The movie is funny too, the reason why other critics don't get it, is simply because they lack sense of humour.
Anyway, The movie was really well made from the proper contractor look given to Akshay Kumar, who portrays it brilliantly with his comic timing, to Rajpal Yadav's expressions.
The movie has gives a social message as well as entertains you.
The negative part about the movie is that it's too long. It could've been short and simple. The actors are loud too plus Asrani is really annoying at times.
The film is really good.

I am not sure why this movie is under rated over here. It is actually a very good movie. It is funny in parts but overall very serious and practical movie. I think the movie is under-rated because people might have watched the movie thinking it as full-on comedy movie like previous Akshay and Priyadarshan movies as it was advertised like that, but in reality it is funny only in bits and parts, while main plot covers the subject of corruption.
Acting wise Akshay as always is awesome in both funny and serious roles at different stages of the movie. Rajpal and Johny lever also did justice to their roles. Both the actresses, Trisha and Urvashi does not have long role throughout the movie and only appear in gaps but whenever they appear they are pleasant to watch.

This is an amazing movie that shows what really happens in the Bureaucracy and how this nation is being looted by unholy public private alliance. It has perfect blend of comedy, drama, romance, and hundred percent succeeds in telling us how the honest people have to suffer. Priyadarshan has succeeded to include comedy to not make it a serious plot and hats off to him to get the message through in a light way. I'm at a loss of logic why this movie should not be a hit. In my view this is a world class movie and brilliant acting done by all and of course Akshay has proved he can handle any kind of role thrown at him.
And shame on Indian masses for liking the useless rubbish of srk, salman, and aamir but not this gem of a movie.

Today i was sitting in front of TV. so i saw this movie. i didn't expect that i am gonna complete this movie. since i saw a low rating. in starting it has some lags. but later its become interesting. the story of a young man struggling with his career. and surrounded with corrupt peoples. the comedy of this movie was okay. but the thrill was great. i enjoyed the movie. though, despite the bad direction. i enjoyed the movie. since its a remake. can't except much. but there are other remakes in bollywood which are very very stupid. and they are hitting cinema's with name of BLOCKBUSTER. then why don't this movie. this is because of the lead of actor of this movie has lower stardom.
As per my analysis i saw Indians taste. so horrible. go watch this movie. its good.
Comedy: 6/10 Thriller:9/10 Acting:7/10 Music:6/10
Overall:7/10 . do the math :p

It's a good movie to watch, simple and realistic. Kuch khatta and kuch meetha. The film is almost same as the original Malayalam movie. Acting by Akshay kumar is outstanding. Trisha is not that bad. Songs are good. I read many reviews before watching the movie, most of them negative. I don't know what the problem with this movie is. I loved this movie compared to some big budget movies released recently. It's better than Akshays house full also. Common man will like this movie.Its mixture of some good comedy and serious drama. Johny lever, Rajpal and Asrani were superb. Excellent camera work and art direction. The locations are really good.Time pass and paisa vasool
