Great children's movie
2 December 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I've had people tell me it was a waste of time of a movie, and was starting to believe that with the slow opening. Once the mystery kicked in, I forgot about lovey dovey musical opening.

I can understand why some people didn't like the movie, it is very musical , but sometimes the music plays wonderfully into the plot.

It's makes fun of the Indian cinema industry, but doesn't loose focus on the mysterious plot. Don't have high expectations. It's a great film to watch with your kids ages +6. It makes fun of some key points in cinema history.

Watch it for yourself.

I enjoyed the mystery, and of course sexy Shahrukh.
