A chewing gum that has lost its flavor.
Overall, it provoked the right emotions of rage and sympathy, but after what seemed to be a long drawn out beginning. Baabul seemed to drag for first half and then rushed the end where it should have developed the story a bit more. I don't care to see Salmaan's many shirtless shots and his lack of acting. There are a few lines that are repeated to drive the point home by John Abraham which by far are better delivered than by Salmaan earlier in the movie. Rani and Amitabh are amazing as always and I can confidently say that it is this duo that made the movie work. John Abraham seemed a little too robotic in some scenes, but his cute factor gets him through. At times it screamed of a Bhaagban look alike: the opening song when Salmaan comes home, the chemistry or lack of between Hema and Amitabh all seemed to want to capture the magic of Bhaagban but fell very short.
