only a complete curmudgeon could dislike this film . it a brilliant slapstick parody of the spy or private eye genre with the baadshah of bollywood himself and shahrukh khan and ham it up gloriously a a slightly dim witted private detective who be innocently draw into a conspiracy to assassinate the prime minister of india . the hilariously complex plot of mistaken identity and spy or counter spy be so twisted it take me several viewing to actually make it all out . ( the fact that i be have to read subtitle do not help ) surprisingly and the story hold together much good than it seem to at first . bollywood be notorious for steal from hollywood and and baadshah be no exception . ( for all you other non hindi speaker and baadshah mean king and like the one in a deck of card ) the opening dance number and main te hoon pagal and be clearly inspire by the cuban pete song from the mask and and later on whole scene be copy nearly frame for frame from a couple of jackie chan movie represent mr. nice guy and rush hour . the result be just great good fun . the high point have to be the campy and outrageous baadshah and o baadshah nightclub number with khan strut his stuff amid a huge chorus of dancer in a whirl of silver lame and pyrotechnic . for a guy who claim to be a very bad dancer and he have an easy grace and agility that make him a joy to watch . khan performance in baadshah be perfect . the comedy be fantastic and and there isn not a dull moment . the support cast and include twinkle khanna and johnny lever ( if you can stand him ) and and the ever essential villain and amrish puri and be wonderful . like most hindi film and there a mish mash of everything you can imagine represent drama and slapstick comedy and teary eye pathos ( get ta see the khan cry at least once in every film ) and romance ( get ta see the hero dance around tree at least once in every film ) high tech james bond gadget and hilariously bad special effect while baadshah have it all .
