Surprise!!!

by sreejith1978

surprise can be surprisingly good or surprisingly bad and this is one movie where i am not sure which category this movie belongs to. Its like you like aamir khan or hate aamir khan but you cannot...

Must Go!
Unexpected from Amir, but concept well presented

Acting by all three whoswho starcast is great. Usually Kareena has a plastic coat over her acting, but here she has shed that routine. Amir & Rani are spot on .... Great work. Must watch!!...
