You know, I had no expectations from this movie. I haven't watched many Punjabi films, but thought this one looked pretty good. I wasn't disappointed, but not blown away either. I thought it was a worthwhile film. The leading man/men did well. There was plenty of humor to keep things light. The "leading" woman was...ehh...but the movie was fine despite her lack of range.
I enjoyed the movie enough to recommend it to others, but wouldn't hype it up too much to prevent disappointment. Overall good movie. Some of the songs had some audio/visual anomalies. I was never bored, but thought there were one too many songs, but that's just me.
I liked that there was always a "villain" lurking in the background of the story. He cracked me up every time he came on the screen along with his little "pet" that followed him around the village. The villain, a man who wants to buy all the land in the village to build condos, and he is up against the big, strong, Canadian Sikh who wants to maintain and preserve the village, but give it a little face-lift.

I went to see this movie alone, as all my friends decided to go camping and I just wanted to enjoy a show on my own. It is 114 minutes of my life I will never get back!!! EVER! It was a terrible movie. I haven't seen the original, but since I am not the biggest fan of a lot of Hollywood cinema these days, I would bet the French knew what they were doing.
First thing I did after watching this movie, was wish that I could get my money back, then call a friend to tell them how horrible this movie was. I never do that, but I did that day. Hartnett was unconvincing, and just didn't pull it off for me. Lillard was more creepy and would have made more sense to be cast as the creepy-stalker guy, but since Hollywood sees it best to cast what they consider the "better looking" leading man, as opposed to casting appropriately, we get Hartnet, who just tried to look pretty in front of the camera. Reverse that casting, and you may have had a better movie.
The experience of seeing this movie in the theater haunts me to this day.
