It is so refreshing to see an actor as good as ShahRukh Khan, being given a good role. Here he is stripped from all the gloss and sheen and most of the unnecessary melodrama and the final result is surprisingly entertaining! The story is really simple and there are not really very many surprises in the plot but you really don't care. ShahRukh shows again how much he can entertain given a chance and the director gives him the space to do so. The girls who make up the team he is coaching are really delightful and the time spent developing their stories was time well spent. The director could have eased of a little bit on patriotism where it was not directly relevant, but it doesn't really mar the whole experience.

Overall a fun experience! You will not even notice the absence of many songs!

After watching duds like Salaam-e-ishq, I went to this movie with very low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. A respectable storyline, very bankable stars who do justice to their roles and some very hummable music made this movie a lot of fun.

The movie relies on some very blatant clichés like the very biased views of how foreigners regard India and Asians, but you tend to forgive the director by the end of the movie. I have always thought Akshay Kumar to be one of the most entertaining actors in the industry and he proves it here again, though he very weird with his auburn hair. There are no surprises in the movie and the script religiously follows the standard formula. The only surprise for me was how much I enjoyed it even though I knew exactly what was going to happen.

The supporting cast is a lot of fun too. Rishi Kapoor should definitely be tapped more often for comedic roles. All in all by the end, when Akshay Kumar sets the world right and all Indians are proud of their heritage, you are happy you came to the movie.

This movie is an epitome of the disturbing trend in Indian movies. Everyone just seems to focus on the packaging and not on the content. Heavily inspired by the TV-series 24 (I am guessing the influences) with a dash of usual suspects and lots of unnecessary melodrama, this is one of the most frustrating movies I have seen in some time.

Putting in the time to see this movie leaves a bad taste in the mouth , much like the one after you have been hit on by the dirty oily sleaze bag when all you want to do is get a drink. The plot is an insult to your intelligence. I would not have minded it if they had marketed it that way. I was promised an intelligent movie (by Indian standards). This movie is fun though for some of the most ridiculous dialog and product placement. I know that ford might have shelled out some money for their mustang car but having "FORD MUSTANG" lettered on to a ford mustang is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The emotional drama is superfluous and not very effective. It looks like the characters are crying for the lack of anything better to do. There is more to being a professional than looking slick and tattooed backs. Please make your plot more believable or be truthful in your promos. Finally I can say only one thing:-- Please read your script to a group of 10 year olds. If they can rip it to pieces, maybe you are better off not making the movie.
