-Katrina slips into yet-another Canadian-bred character, and sleepwalks through much. She appears rather indifferent to playing a woman in search of "trueluvv", and unsure of whether she's in "safe" hands.
-This is an equally glossy, globe-trotting production and Hrithik and Katrina are better looking than the Hollywood pair, but they are duller : not so much because of Hrithik who is having a blast, just the way he did in Dhoom 2', but because of the leading lady, who is given an annoyingly big speaking part. Also, I missed the heat between Hrithik and Aishwarya, his oppo in Dhoom 2' : Kaif is more giggle than sizzle, her lipstick immaculate in a shower.
-But, what is Katrina Kaif doing in this plot? Come on, it's a Hindi film and the nation wants to see a glamorous heroine dance at exotic locations. At least, this is what the director thinks.
-Katrina's performance in the film is just an extension of her work in her previous ventures.
-As for Katrina, she appears to be doing pretty much what she has done all these years - pout, preen and look pretty. If Bang Bang is a reliable enough pointer, it is apparent that there is little bang left in her dwindling buck.
-but the formerly svelte Katrina Kaif -- trying too hard to recapture Diaz's sprightly goofiness -- comes across as insufferable. Perhaps she's been drinking too many of those artificially-sweetened mango-flavored drinks she flogs.
-Aside from Roshan, there's not one acting performance that ranks above sleepwalking and Katrina Kaif does her best to stand out with her onscreen ineptitude. Sure, they both look good and the movie isn't aimed at people looking for masterly acting, but why would anyone sit through three hours of this if they can just download Google Images of the two stars?
-Katrina Kaif shines in certain scenes, especially the comic ones, where she's portraying a normal girl in a big, bad world, just trying to make it work -- a slight reminder of her work in Namaste London -- but she becomes disinterested as soon as emotional scenes come into play.
-Katrina Kaif is either taking a shower or being drugged in the film. In between she is still speaking Hindi like it wasn't a language but some sounds. But what can poor Harleen do? She was born in Canada you see. Again? Yes YET AGAIN! The question here is not when Katrina Kaif will ever learn Hindi. The question is who between Sonia Gandhi and Katrina Kaif, will nail the language first?
AND THE BEST!!!! ANOTHER JOURNALIST THAT ENDS UP TROLLING KATTY AFTER VIKRAM THAPA: 🥳KOEL PURIE 😳:
Katrina, it seems did a one stop shop at Forever 21 for her entire wardrobe from the plastic red heart shaped necklace, to the ankle boots, the short skater dresses, to the can-can net skirt and the ill-fitting orange cut out gown (was it meant to match Hrithik's hair?). I thought Hindi cinema had finally moved way past the skimpy dresses in snow cliffs even if it is a dream sequence, I was wrong.
🤣 eagerly awaiting HOT MASAND's review 😊
