Meetu’s Review: “Your thoughts on the movie”, someone asked me on twitter? I didn’t need to think twice before replying, “can’t have too many thoughts after watching it. Mind’s too numb after random lyrics, music, choreography, costumes, dialogues, story, acting, etc, etc, etc”
Rating: Switch channels if it’s on cable!
