..is possibly the second worst film I have ever been made to sit through.
The movie begins with the stupidest fight scene anyone has ever choreographed. The queen of England is travelling with her grandchildren and the crown jewels in a single train car through the Sahara Desert. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, a guy dressed completely in black drops out of the sky and attempts to steal them by impersonating the queen. How brainless must he be to attempt daylight robbery dressed all in black against a light blue sky. Even more preposterous, he succeeds. Blessed by some divine force unknown to us, he evades the bullets of trained royal guards by simply flipping back and forth on the roof of the moving train. He then does a mind-blowingly boring sand-boarding sequence holding onto a rope attached to the train. During this time, he doesn't really move, but eludes the guards' shots for a good 5 minutes.
Somewhere between finding out that the robber(Z I think his name was....let's just call him Z) is the most evasive international criminal in the world, and the ensuing song and dance sequences, we are introduced to the heroine.
Enter Aishwarya Rai.
She should have been blond. (For those of you who do not know the meaning of ditsy, I strongly recommend that you watch her first scene.)
It was at this point that the possibility of suicide first crossed my mind.
I could go on and on, but I'll spare you the unnecessary reading. Basically, it's a horrible movie. If you value your intelligence and your self-respect as a human being, don't watch it. Don't go within ten feet of any movie theatre playing it.
The only people that deserve a little credit are the make-up artists. The movie's one saving grace is its sex appeal. The movie is Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan, and the sweat dripping off their bodies. Of course this is supplemented by random dance sequences where scantily clad women perspire while performing obscene dance moves.

hey - to even write abt tht stupid movie is a waste of time - i havent read it yet - this is just after the first line....................
ah now i've read it!!!! gud job actually - the mov was a gud laff - not for its own humour tho - did ne1 see tht part where he goes down 1 manhole and comes up the other , on the other side of the gate - n the best part - he manages to change in those 2 secs !!!!!
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.........bollywood.....dare say......its probably better than those tamil movies which defy every law of science and logic known to mankind.
If you really want to review a good movie, you should check out 'The great dictator' starring Charlie Chaplin. To date, it is the only movie i've ever recommended to someone. It won an Oscar too. The story is brilliant and very moving. And of course, you have Chaplin's trademark humour in it.
Keep the reviews coming...you could replace rajeev masand on IBN
