      Really Surprised
      I was pleasantly surprised. Went to this movie for a Charity Fundraiser to help orphans in India. Never seen an Indian/Bollywood movie before as these movies never interest me. I have detested reading subtitles in the past.

      When it started I though, oh my, I have to sit through this, I thought "how corny".

      However, the more I got into the movie the more and more I liked it. It is a lighthearted, predictable romantic comedy who's target audience would be 15yo to 40 yo women. It is not really a mens movie.

      The acting was excellent and I loved seeing Melbourne.

      The end birthing scene was over the top but overall a great movie
