the movie is just a very good crisp action movie with good direction, action, dialogue, actors, witty lines, pretty people and everyone did great in their part, but srk is in the entire movie with the burden falling on him, John was a very charismatic good looking villain (not common in Indian cinema) but for me the scene stealer was Deepika not John, I wanted more of her , more scenes, more dialogue, more romance with srk, and definitely more songs. I didn't like Jhoome jo Pathan and had watched besharam rang only a couple of times before the watching the movie but now watch them on loop. Deepika and I think srk and deepika chemistry was the initial draw because there really wasn't any publicity other than the 2 songs, people hadn't liked the trailer all that much?
she drew people in partly (srk and Salman together the other big draw) and then srk carried the movie. I think her background scenes got cut because they weren't with srk, John really didn't have much that wasn't with srk, other than the minuscule wife scene and that too was srk reacting to it. I think some Paris scenes were cut too, probably they were planning a song there( a saiyara type song), when has YRF done a big movie with 2 songs?
The movie probably got too long and they had to choose what to keep and what not to keep. could you imagine this movie with yrf's favorites Anuskha, Katrina or Vaani in deepika's place , the horror of JTHJ yikes or even alia (unimaginable).
srk and deepika on screen are something else, even the mediocre happy new year, their scenes are so cute and funny, and manwa laage the best part.
but the unsung hero really is sidhart Anand, can't believe this guy made tara rum pum pum
