Ratings and reviews

SRK's portrayal of the bumbling Bablu reminded me a lot of the early films of Jerry Lewis, comedic facial expressions and physical comedy. Very entertaining. You have to appreciate this movie for it's comedic quality and for the entertainment factor if you are looking for depth and complexity you will be dissatisfied.
