See more Review: Haven't Laughed So Hard in a Long Time! - It is probably one of those things where you have to be there to get it, but I found this movie hilarious. I have to watch with subtitles and I had to stop the movie a few times because I was laughing so hard I couldn't read the subtitles and keep up. There are some very serious topics -- corruption, murder, the plight of Indian women in forced marriages -- but I think Akshay Kumar's performance is near perfection. Review: One Star - Didn't expected this from Priyadarshan.
