Introduction

New girl is doctor and hits and shouts at mad boy. Girl finds out boy`s back-story through massive flashback-and instantly becomes soft girl. Girl falls for mad boy and tries to cure him.

Reviewer switches off before becoming mad herself.


I still can`t believe I attempted to watch this in one sitting. It`s inhumane to reviewers.

Video

What a refreshing change-reel marks on a film made in 2005. I can`t quite believe it. I may have been hallucinating but I`m not going back to find out.

Audio

Keep the sound on and eliminate the English subtitles. No matter that you don`t understand Hindi, it will allow you to be delightfully oblivious of the next manic plot twist. Better still switch it off.

Conclusion

This is the worst film I have had to watch this year.In a serious case of genre-itus it has has slapstick, accidental death and serious physical abuse of mental patients on a hospital ward. Oh how amazing this is let us all sing about it.(Yes there are songs as well.)

I confess that I had to stop watching it halfway through because I thought an hour and half was long enough and no I don`t care. The lack of acting talent from the leading ladies was bad enough and the constant preening of the `mad` bloke topped off by the strangely violent hospital guards drove me to distraction.And the singing and dancing-Bollywood by way of the Singing Detective.

Personally I`m scarred for life and I recommend avoiding this like the plague.
