Brilliant story. That is the first thing you take home at the end of the night. Then you realise the characters were well written: funny, vulnerable and lovable. You wanted the three title roles to finish on top, you cared.
The style was a brave mix of British comedy, indulgent Bollywood and an all new dish of Malhotra (The guy who wrote and directed it). The laugh out loud moments were great. Opening night at the restaurant was cringe worthy, hilarious and heartwarming all at the same time.
All in all a great watch.

I can only blame the movie producers for not promoting the movie as it should have been.
Ridiculously under-rated; funny, heart warming movie with a easy to follow storyline. It's almost family friendly except for two scenes which are essential (Amar's re-entry to Akbar's night club and (An)Tony's bonk at Park) to the movie.
I find the movie light. Jolly, and a nice watch. Karen David stands out for me.
I do not wish to counter-write the negative reviews but surprised to read them; I wonder if they watched the movie even!?
I am more than happy to rate a ten out of ten. All you desis - you will love this flicm.

Firstly the screen writing: The film had no coherent storyline, jumping from comedy to tragedy to drama without any transitions and any attempt at laying the character backgrounds. I was left confused at the end: what was the film trying to show? The direction was mediocre, not a single scene stands out, whereas a few scenes stand out as failed attempts to inject some style into the otherwise turgid proceedings. SOme key scenes were very very badly done. In the scene when one of the protagonists of the film is reunited with his friend after a tragic few years, the director took the easy way out and completely ignored the potential to finally develop the characters.
The acting was a range- the one guy who stood out for me was Tony, his comedic timing and delivery was the saving grace. Karen David was the other extreme, very bad. The rest of the cast were passable to good.
But they are not the ones who let this cringe-worthy attempt at entertainment down- the blame must lie squarely with the director. No vision, no character development, just a hotchpotch of stereotypes shamelessly vomited under the banner of "feelgood". Sadly, this was as feel-sick as it gets.

Found this movie by accident when browsing on Netflix and thought to give it a go. Boy oh boy, what a bloody mess this movie is. The first 20 minutes is alright and watchable, the rest is a mess. They tried to stuff in soo many things into a 90 minutes movie. Terrible storyline and terrible acting. Avoid this movie at all cost!
I had to write something about this movie. Totally underrated. It's amazing. I see a lot off negative reviews complaining about "too many stories" or "no actual storyline". Has our attention span diminished to that point? It actually tells you everything, just pay attention! I wouldn't know how to describe this movie without a spoiler so I'll tell you this. If you ever wanted to know what immigrants go through in a different country while trying to pay respect to their heritage, watch. I don't care who you are, immigrant, resident or citizen, you will relate. It's not comedy, it's not drama, it's all put together very beautifully. Respect
