There is a dialogue in the film, which to me, appears pretty wannabe-ish.

"Bade se bada business, paise se nahi, ek bade idea se bada banta hai!" Until the credits rolled and I ventured out of the hall, I had a strong feeling to re-phrase this -

"Bade se badi film Yashraj ke naam se nahi, ek achi script se badi banti hai!" Samjhe!

And I just read somewhere that Yashraj may finally have a hit with BC! Honestly this is going to encourage such frivolous films in the future. We could use all of this monies to make much better films.

I wont give in to the story too much because even if there is some, it hasnt been treated properly. If you have ever heard of this phrase "Presentation is everything", it gets proven by this film. The cinematogrpahy is so trashy that you'd feel a student film would arguably look much better than it!

Apparently, you never do feel for the characters and of all the emotional outbursts they encounter. In its quest to be a 'thriller', the film moves tooooo fasst and relies too much on voice overs than actually building up on the mood.

Shahid Kapoor appears too wanabe playing a conman and changes fancy goggles in nearly every frame of the film. Characterisation?

Bah!

Oh well, before I forget they used Michael Jackson in one of the sub plots of the film. Really, MJ would be turning in his grave...

And one of my favorite singers, Mohit Chauhan has a song in the film too. The music is utterly forgettable. Apparently, everytime the Badmaash Company succeeds in conning someone, they celebrate and ... there .... u have a song! .....Boring!

The only guy who looks like he is acting is Shahid Kapoor himself! All those sideys and that Indian Idol struggler .... are seen making the effort, only!

Anushka Sharma! The salwar kameezez are gone, and boy she is hot! But then, she is only there for the skin show. As it happens all the time, when she decides to return back to the sati-savitri mode, all that skin gets magically covered.

Zero Entertainment! However, its the director Parmeet Sethi's first film only and the script isnt totally trashy - is a bit clever, but a finished script and a 'finished' film are still to come. I am hopeful.

They conned me into watching this film (apparently I bought the tickets in black)
