IMHO no matter how hard i try to remain unaffected by my individual tastes and preferences, i cant stop myself from labeling it one of the biggest all time big budget flops. All that the movie team did was to recruit best of talent without giving a minute of thought on how to exploit it. Except John Abraham, Vidya Balan, nobody else made an impact. And no one had a role long enough to make u remember the starcast.
Film revolves around 6 couples. By the time u grasp the current story, it changes its focus to next couple. Attempts to weave six stories in single movie is not the cup of tea for all and sundries. Well cant really call it a story either. Its just an attempt to stitch bits and pieces of star studded clippings made to attract masses, that too in 1st week only.
To add, the length of movie being 3 hours + (well had to be in order to accommodate 6 stories) is nothing to brag about.
Only saving grace is music which sounds just a bit above par. ----------------------------------------------
