@supichka – ya you saved some money being smart. Don’t know why we even try. Yes – Chaubey’s logline is apt – but the terrorists won’t be very pleased to read that

glad I missed it As per chaubey, the logline should have been ‘What happens when two utterly stupid people get caught in a web of terrorism?’

@quirky – some of our reviewers are not worth the ink and paper they consume. It’s a sad state really. Like you say ‘different’ is automatically good. No critical standards to speak of

Thank you for this honest and insightful review. I have, in recent times, been forced to come to the conclusion that (1) many reviews do seem to be paid for, and (2) anything that is not the usual Bollywood flick seems to qualify for a good review and a lot of praise just for being ‘different’ (Wake Up, New York, Kurbaan etc….and I am sure we will see the same with 3 Idiots and My Name is Khan…)

Cheers,

Quirky Indian

@v – the general dumbing down of culture will have its obvious impact. Some reviews are obviously paid for and the others don’t know what they are talking about.

@vinod – sad indeed after 60 years
@v – that too has mutated. just a bit but it has
@supichka – true – yesterday there was a studio poll on some news channel (either NDTV or CNN-IBN) Q. Is corruption no longer an issue with the common man. A. 90% said yes it is not. 10% said yes.

But the point to remember is that it reflects only the mobile speaking, English news channel watching population. Or am I a stupid optimist?
