HOLY COW I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON BOLLYWOOD MY WHOLE LIFE
Seriously, I don't know why I haven't explored more Bollywood flicks before now. I KNEW I'd probably love them. And I had so, so much fun watching this. From the big elaborate musical numbers to the over-the-top melodramatic plot, this was a blast from beginning to end. The two leads were extremely likable in all their roles and even though it took me a little while to get used to the broad strokes of both the comedic and dramatic moments, once I settled into the movie's tone it was thoroughly enjoyable. I will definitely have to start checking out the genre more.
4 stars.
Flickchart: #378 out of 2077, below The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and above Never Let Me Go.
Rent it on Amazon.
