“Donu0026#39;t go expecting a great movie, itu0026#39;s not.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut it is also not u0026quot;the worst of the worstu0026quot; etc. It is uneven. There are jokes that might appeal to a 13 year old that are dreadfully stale and in poor taste for adults. The scriptwriteru0026#39;s sense of how a person becomes a doctor in the US is bizarre. I donu0026#39;t know if this matches Indian practice in some way but it certainly doesnu0026#39;t represent even a nodding acquaintance with the American hospital scene.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe situations and language will not shock anyone used to US films, though they are probably fairly shocking for Bollywood, and I do not know to what extent the subtitles represented a taming of the language in Hindi. Someone complained about nudity–I donu0026#39;t count presumed nudity under sheets as nudity.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat said, there are some nice moments, and a great sense of energy throughout. If you have high tolerance for silliness, this is fun. My husband who is not a Bollywood fan, enjoyed it.”
