Performances
Nani gave one of the finest performances in this film. He showed good ease comedy scenes and as well the romantic scenes. Vani Kapoor looks good. She mesmerises the audiences with her smile. Though she could not perform so well and she has to improve her body language, histrionics and performance a little more, her smile makes the audiences forget everything.
Supporting Roles
Simran made a guest appearance as a wedding planner, but the character did not suit her well. However, all the supporting artistes did complete justice to their respective roles.
Music
In the technical section, Dharan Kumar had excelled in his work. All the tunes he gave for the songs were good to listen and all of them are audible. Even the background score was impressive and the re-recording gave good strength to the movie.
Other Departments
The cinematography is okay while bringing out various kinds of marriages with his camera on the celluloid. Editing by Bhavan Srikumar should be a little more tight and he should have cut some more scenes which are a little boring. The director chose to use the same kind of costumes that was used in Band Baaja Baarat. This has spoiled the nativity in the movie. However, for some weddings they suited well, for other weddings it failed to suit.
Direction
The screenplay and direction of the film are average and when compared to the original movie, they are utter poor. But the director made few scenes in the movie which can make the audiences laugh. The production values of Yashraj Films are good.
Verdict
Though the first half of the movie was quite normal, the second half is little boring and failed to evoke any kind of interest among the audiences. Watch the film for the first 'one and half hour' and come out to avoid boring scenes. Otherwise, wait for some more time and secure a licensed DVD and watch it at home.
