See more 05/02/2020 Saif Ali Khan on top form again See more yash b @yashbansal 07/14/2017 This is a nice little movie that I saw a long time ago. I remember it being pretty funny and pretty different at the time. There were some moments that dragged but overall it was a good romantic comedy. I probably need to re watch it at some point to refresh my memory any more. See more 03/18/2013 good story. like the girl who follows her heart See more Read all reviews
