Bollywood, in spite of trying hard to ape the mores cannot handle so taboo a subject, and resorts to the usual cop-out and shockingly bad plot re-directions, choking on the predictable and sub-moronic morsels of mediocrity and ineptitude. Replete with the usual tired, burnt out clichés, and soapbox sermons about redemption, love, togetherness and tear-jerking sentimentality, this flimsy rip-off is a wet-kipper slap, to serious cine-philes everywhere.
Excuse me while I stick my head in the oven.
