David Dhawan is one of those directors who provides masala entertainers in his style and after his early films which didn't work, his comedy brought him several hits though a few craps. David Dhawan is known for copying films from Hollywood and this statement is true. But so what, even Abbas Mustan copies films and they seem to click at the box office. Anyways, this film isn't that bad but the problem is it get's too silly at parts which is a big headache. Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya was somewhat similar to this but this is far better than that though that has less silly ingredients but all these films are far better than Rascals David Dhawan's latest which was a cheap erotic comedy. Coming to this film, it is about Prem(Salman Khan) who's profession is bringing lovers together and he is called the love guru. But, he is at first reluctant to help Bhaskar(Govinda) patched up with the girl of his dream the multi millionaire's daughter Priya(Katrina Kaif) but later agrees to help him. The rest of the film is about how Prem gets Bhaskar and Priya together and how he gets his love Naina(Lara Dutta) also. The film is good and provides several laughs. But some portions like the baby missile thing was absolutely silly, the airport scenes were average but the rest seemed to be funny. The Sweety Se Pyaar movie they were watching in the hall where the guy imitates Aamir Khan is damn funny. The ending is a bit prolonged and the honeymoon thing is sort of overdone. But, the film on the whole is actually not as bad as everyone says. Salman Khan plays the same character he has played a million times and his acting is actually average he is good when he's delivering dialogues but his emotional scenes need working just like Sunil Shetty but he's not that bad. Lara Dutta is OK, she was better in Challo Dilli. Katrina Kaif is pretty but she is better in her films nowadays and not back then in 2007 when she was sort of still a newcomer. The rest provide good support and fill the bill. The songs are good but Soni De Nakhare is hilarious, Govinda doesn't know how to dance does he LOL. Overall, not a bad film it was a super hit and it is a full entertainer people will enjoy this even though it's silly.
