Review by India Forums

The film rides heavily on the shoulders of its stars, and Akshay Kumar is the undeniable showman here. His timing, expressions, and presence light up the screen. Whether it's his dramatic guitar sequence, his random on-the-face comebacks to the other guys or his laugh-out-loud entry scene, he proves once again why he's the face of this franchise. Riteish Deshmukh is in solid form, delivering yet another zany performance as Jolly 1, while Abhishek Bachchan holds his own with his deadpan humour and unexpected comic bursts. Together, the trio creates genuine chemistry and carry most of the film's humour.
