Review: It’s a remake of a Malayalam super hit movie having same name and with same director. The movie contains the brilliant performance of Salman khan which is one of the sole reasons that movie had succeeded. Whole of focus was given Salman Khan only in the movie. Kareena Kapoor Khan’s role in movie was not much but whatever it was she did it with ease and comfort and so do was the role of Hazel Keech. Songs of the movie were good and specially “Teri Meri”. Chemistry between the main actors was not much as whole movie comprises of Salman khan only. Dialogues of the movie are great. The movie do contains some turns and twist which make the audience of the movie fully focused. But the story of the movie is more or less the same as the Malayalam movie so people who had seen that movie know what this movie’s story will be. As a whole movie is a blending mixture of romance, drama, twists and a little bit of action and those who are Salman Khan’s fan, it’s a must watch movie for them.

Stars given: 3 out of 5.
