Delirious and highly-derivative cross between Priceless and The Getaway; focusing on emotional - rather than literal - realism. The love story is compelling despite the general incredibility of the proceedings. This is fun and enjoyable filmmaking that possesses - at its core - a believable romance that almost achieves Shakespearean proportions. The movie’s view is as simple and as straightforward as can be: Love is more important than Death. Bollywood doing what it does better than anyone else in the world.

Barbara MORI is especially good as a star-crossed lover: She gets all the best lines, carries the emotional weight of the scenes she is in and is both sexy & funny: A classic Mexican spitfire; expertly-handling this culture-clash comedy. She also compensates for the weak characterization and acting of the other roles.
