The GOOD Stuff: Nothing.

The NOT-SO-GOOD Stuff: I went to see this only because a friend of mine finds Salman to-die-for cute. And even Salman's "cuteness" could not make her sit through this film. And she likes the guy. Honestly, neither of us could sit through this entire movie because it was so silly and boring. I am trying to save you a little money here -- DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. From what I saw, the movie pits a silly, joker-type Salman (can he please learn how to act) against a "cool" Arbaaz. Of course, Rani Mukherjee is the center of attention as Salman is in love with her and she is not in love with Salman but searching for her rajkumar. So it turns out that Arbaaz Khan comes to Mumbai to eradicate drug use (and mind you he goes everywhere ALONE...no police force needed) and Salman's boss is a drug lord. So arbaaz is trying to gather evidence against Salman's boss (Shakti Kapoor) and Salman is too innocent to realize that his boss is actually a drug smuggler. Hence salman protects his beloved boss while Arbaaz tries to prosecute Shakti kapoor and Salman. Where's Rani, you ask? Singing in fields most of the time. She does go for a job interview for teaching and gets the job. but it's kind of just thrown in there. There are a lot of farting (yes, farting) jokes throughout this film which I didn't find amusing (maybe because i'm not seven) and Salman has a habit of tweaking the nipples of guys after he fights them (also not funny to me). The songs are not great but, hey, at least they're better than the movie!

MY BIGGEST GRIPE: Why is Salman in pink pants? And purple and yellow and red? why? How is Rani living in a basti but wearing a Calvin Klein sweatshirt and a hilfiger jacket? In fact, Salman and Rani both live in a basti but go spend money at video game arcades and pool halls. Makes no sense at all.
