PROS:
1. Hrithik Roshan is great in his role. His interactions with his estranged family and his brother carry the most emotional weight in the movie.
2. Jaya Bachan is excellent.
3. Amitabh is great although I didn't buy some of his character's motivations and decisions, however, that has more to do with the writing.
4. SRK is good although a bit crabby as the head of household. Surprisingly, I don't think he had much to do in this movie.
CONS:
1. Unconvincing plot. I don't buy SRK would directly disobey his father for a woman he met a couple of days ago. Then after intending to break things off with her after his father has voiced his disapproval (due to the respect he has for him) he does a 180 and shotguns the decision to elope with her solely based on the death of her father. It just isn't believable. I also don't buy that Amitabh would disown his child, whom he clearly loved so much and was willing to do anything for, solely based on his choice of whom to marry.
2. Overacting by Kajol in literally every scene she is in. She is terrible.
3. Overacting by Kareena Kapoor as Poo especially in cringe scenes where she is acting like she is all that, claiming how hot she is and speaking in a fake British accent. The makeup is so caked on in some scenes that she looks like a tr@NN¥. Thankfully, her performance tones down and becomes much more restrained as the film progresses. She becomes a lot more likable.
4. How does the mom sense her son arrives every time before she sees him? Hmmm, could be that he arrives in a helicopter directly in front of the house? LOL.
5. The reveal that Hrithik is SRK's brother is underwhelming and there is no way the Indian kid memorized that whole speech or sang that song in front of everyone. There are many other ways the big reveal could have happened and this seemed like an odd choice.
6. Extremely melodramatic.
