It doesn’t take long for debutant director Pravesh Bhardwaj’s film to slip into absurd territory, made even worse by abysmal acting

It’s really hard to keep up with the strangeness of the Mehtas and Singhs, the arbitrary things the plot makes them do and say, made even worse by the abysmal acting. Aruna’s stumbling, irritating, high-pitched Hindi and misplaced display of emotions inspire no empathy. Prashant’s sparks of talent are completely wasted. Second leads Aslam and Hassan are plain painful to watch. London, where the two unfortunate couples reside, comes across as a nondescript, shady place—a hard thing to do to a beautiful city—and much of the film suffers from a seriously tacky ’90s Bollywood hangover, with never-ending and uninspired ghazals. In the midst of her dilemma, Aruna even mouths idiotic lines like, “Mera pati hamesha tumhari patni ko ghumata rehta hain, tumko bhi mujh par kharcha karna chahiye.” Would you waste your money on this one?
