i saw the 7 . 5 imdb rating on this movie and on the basis of that decide to watch this movie which my roommate have rent . she say she have see it before . it funny and sad . i cry the first time i saw it and she gush . maybe compare to other bollywood movie this deserve a 7 . 5 out of 10 and but in comparison to all the other movie i have see in my lifetime and this deserve no more than a 3. any movie where i can perpetually guess what be go to happen next be no good for me . the character be unbelievable and how the act be not realistic at all and their motif be contrive . it be over dramatic and the song aren not all that great . my big problem with bollywood movie be the lack of subtlety . all the emotion be way too overdone and thus not at all realistic . any emotion or bond between character that be the least bit subtle must be magnify with an unnecessary song . i think i understood that the relationship between the father and son be more like one between friend than one between a parent and child without have to have it conveyed via a five minute long song . the stupid comic relief complete with laugh track be not funny or necessary ( we get it and laxman isn not the sharp tool in the shed ) . if a movie try to elicit tear through the most hackneyed mean possible it just isn not meaningful and just a bit embarrass . spoilergenerally if someone have terminal stage lung cancer their son who live with them would know something be wrong without have to be tell . too many plot hole to count . at first the movie be amuse and cute in the way bollywood movie be to people who do not watch them that avidly but it just get tedious . it take a lot of skill to make a movie that be amuse and heartwrenching and the best way to do it be usually not have all the amusing part in the first half of the movie and all the heartwrenching part at the end . spoiler over perhaps it have a very little more depth than other bollywood movie that i have see and but not much at all . i spend more time laugh at the stupidity of the movie than the part that be suppose to be funny . i do not shed a single tear nor do i feel like it and rather i be overwhelm with a feeling of disgust at the attempt at a dramatic end . i do not recommend this movie if you want to watch something good and i recommend it if you want to watch a bollywood movie that be kind of sad .
