Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara; Best Ad of "Spain" till date; rest is ok.

Question: Who was the lead in ZNMD? Your choices: a) Hrithik b) Farhan c) Abhay d) Spain. If you chose 'd' then you are thinking like me. Well, 90% of people will disagree with this review on ZNMD and they are the ones eagerly waiting for a sequel. So, let's start on what I did like:

1. Location: Beautiful Spain and very well captured. 2. Some good jokes like "Moshi Moshi" 3. Some good chemistry between the 'Bwoys' 4. Good theme: Three guys re-discover themselves on a roadtrip.

Have a longer list for what could have been better:

1. Character Transformation: A guy who is a financial broker transforms seeing fishes or the 'mermaid' within 1/2 hr. Really? 20 yrs gone in 1/2 hr? My take is transformation should happen gradually and a good movie would not show transformation getting completed at all unless the story spans years. A story should show beginning of that transformation at the end. A recent movie that reminds me of that is "Udaan".

2. Chemistry: Missing, Missing, Missing especially between Hrithik and Katrina.

3. There was no lead in the movie. I understand that all three characters were strong and shared equal space but how many ever characters are there in the film there should always be a lead character, a protogonist, that carries the movie.

4. Stale jokes: How many movies have used Hinglish to make fun: Salaam Namaste, Phans Gaye re Obama..

5. Unwanted scenes/ bad editing. Doordarshan tune? Gimme a break. 3/4 of that scene could have been easily removed and parts of so many other "Spain views", scuba diving scenes..

Can go on but don't want to be too picky.

Overall rating: 6/10.
