Just watched this Hindi movie with my sis. This is another movie I had no knowledge about. That’s how I like it. Watching a movie without prior knowledge increases my pleasure in watching it. I’ve always had reservations when it comes to watching a shahrukh khan movie, but to my surprise I enjoyed this movie. 


Its such a simple, warm story with some amusing moments and I didn’t expect that shahrukh was mostly in the dance sequences and Irrfan khan had more screen time than him. This story is about a simple man in the village (Irrfan Khan) who is struggling with his life and his barber business. Things started to change for him, his family and his barber shop when a famous star Sahir Khan (SRK) comes to the village to shoot a film. Rumours started to spread that he’s a good friend of the famous star. Villagers started to treat him good. But was he really Sahir Khan’s friend? How does these affect his life? I liked it that the story revolved around Sahir Khan but does not show as much Shahrukh Khan. 

The songs have good aesthetics. I find it smart that they placed the songs in the shooting of Sahir’s film.  srk looked surprisingly good in these songs especially in the song ‘Love Mera Hit Hit’. Deepika Padukone looked good too. I didn’t enjoy Kareena’s dancing in ‘Marjaani’ as much as Deepika’s but loved the blue in the song! 

Irrfan Khan and Lara Dutta played the character believably well. Irrfan should act more of these kindhearted characters more. This movie shows that those who receive kindness will remember the deeds more than those who give. All in all, I enjoyed it.
